A beam of electrons crossed just a few millimeters of plasma, then helped trigger an effect that usually belongs to massive ...

Free-electron lasers can be tuned to operate over a wide range of wavelengths, but they conventionally require large-scale ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser at ...

In the laser diffraction particle analyzer a laser beam is focused on a sample. When the laser beam hits the particles this causes scattering of the light. This scattering is then measured whereby the ...

TAU's compact accelerator offers applications throughout science, including imaging semiconductor structures and radiation testing space-bound electronics It is great to be working with Thales, they ...

There is technology being perfected to make particle accelerators 100-1000 times lower cost. This would enable production of nuclear material for space propulsion that could reach up to 0.5% of light ...
