Scientists are celebrating not just one but two milestones in the development of innovative plasma accelerators. A group of scientists used their accelerator to test a technique that allows the energy ...
Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...
If one particle accelerator alone is not enough to achieve the desired result, why not combine two accelerators? Physicists have now implemented this idea. They combined two plasma-based acceleration ...
An international team of researchers led by DESY scientists has demonstrated for the first time at the FLASHForward experiment that, in principle, it is possible to operate plasma accelerators at the ...
A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam brightness at the same time instead of forcing scientists to trade one for ...
Plasma Wakefield Accelerators (PWFA) represent a disruptive candidate for next-generation high-energy accelerators. By providing accelerating gradients orders of magnitude higher than conventional ...
Particle accelerators, like the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, allow scientists to study the most fundamental particles, but they operate on a massive scale. The tunnel that houses ...
Laser-plasma electron acceleration harnesses the intense fields generated when an ultra-short, high-intensity laser pulse interacts with a plasma. The rapid displacement of plasma electrons by the ...
The LUX team at DESY is celebrating not just one but two milestones in the development of innovative plasma accelerators. The scientists from the University of Hamburg and DESY used their accelerator ...
