#DidYouKnow linear accelerators are at the very core of CERN's accelerator chain, as the main source for ion and proton beams? 🎁As a treat for the holidays, you can now build your very own linear particle accelerator model! Instructions: https://scoollab.web.cern.ch/linac3D | CERN

The UK’s first MR Linac machine, installed at The Royal Marsden, combines both radiotherapy and an MRI scanner. It will change the way we treat cancer. The new equipment, which our supporters helped pay for, is perfect for treating cancers that are difficult to scan and target with radiotherapy. | The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity

What could #cancer and LEGO bricks possibly have in common? It turns out that you can use LEGO to build a decent model of a #radiotherapy treatment machine! And maybe that experience could help cancer patients and their families cope during the treatment journey. In FOCUS, read the story of an Elekta employee, Jennifer Anthony, and her creative LEGO-master son ➡️ https://bit.ly/3E2TdOR #radonc #radiotherapy #cancertreatment #WeBuildHope | Elekta

Linac 4 has taken over from the retired Linac 2 as the first accelerator in the LHC injection chain! It has reached its first milestone to inject particles at an energy of 160 MeV and will contribute to an #LHC luminosity increase by 2021.
