A lovely day for a walk through the Australian Synchrotron tunnels

2 MeV protons ionising the air at ELISA, at @cern.bsky.social's Science Gateway 😍😍

Three happy people, two standing in front of and one standing behind a small particle accelerator

Man looking at the end of a particle accelerator, with an alignment laser beam crossing his face

Feels right that my first post here be celebrating these wonderful people!!

We've recently had an amazing time at @cern.bsky.social accelerating protons to hit paint samples in an unlikely collaboration between accelerator physicists and archeologists. Some days I feel very lucky to do this job.
