One day, powerful particle accelerators might fit in your pocket. Two teams of physicists have built tiny structures that both accelerate electrons and keep them confined in a manageable beam, instead ...
Proof-of-concept experimental setup used to generate an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) free-electron laser (FEL) driven by a laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) electron beam. An intense laser pulse, ...
The compact design of Fermilab’s electron beam prototype accelerator for sterilizing medical equipment is made possible by combining four emerging particle accelerator technologies. During the ...
