Laser physicists have built a novel hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have become an indispensable tool for studies of the structure of matter at sub-atomic scales, and have important ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's Central Laser Facility. This collaboration is led by the University of ...

Alex Bogacz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility since 1997, has spent his career in accelerator physics solving problems. From ...

What is Particle Size Analysis? Particle size analysis is a technique for determining the particle size distribution in a material. Solid materials, emulsions, suspensions, and even aerosols may all ...

In collaborative international effort, laser physicists at LMU have built the first hybrid plasma accelerator. Particle accelerators have made crucial contributions to some of the most spectacular ...
