A plasma railgun is a linear accelerator which, like a projectile railgun, uses two long parallel electrodes to accelerate a "sliding short" armature. However, in a plasma railgun, the armature and ejected projectile consists of plasma, or hot, ionized, gas-like particles, instead of a solid slug of material. Scientific plasma railguns are ...
A plasma cannon (also called an electrothermal accelerator) is an experimental projectile weapon, which accelerates a projectile by means of a plasma discharge between electrodes at the rear of the barrel, generating a rapid increase in pressure.
Electrothermal-chemical (ETC) technology is an attempt to increase accuracy and muzzle energy of future tank, artillery, and close-in weapon system [1] guns by improving the predictability and rate of expansion of propellants inside the barrel.
The journal focuses on accelerator physics and engineering. [1] Its lead editor is Frank Zimmermann . The journal was established in 1998 as Physical Review Special Topics – Accelerators and Beams, obtaining its current title in 2016. [2]
The Roman pot is the name of a technique (and of the relevant device) used in accelerator physics.Named after its implementation by the CERN-Rome collaboration in the early 1970s, [1] [2] it is an important tool to measure the total cross section of two particle beams in a collider. [3]
Thermal simulations give engineers a visual representation of the temperature and airflow inside the equipment. Thermal simulations enable engineers to design the cooling system; to optimise a design to reduce power consumption, weight and cost; and to verify the thermal design to ensure there are no issues when the equipment is built.

An electrostatic particle accelerator is a particle accelerator in which charged particles are accelerated to a high energy by a static high voltage potential. This contrasts with the other major category of particle accelerator, oscillating field particle accelerators , in which the particles are accelerated by oscillating electric fields.
