Scientists around the world are testing ways to further boost the power of particle accelerators while drastically shrinking their size. At least when it comes to particle accelerators, bigger is ...
Plasma Wakefield Accelerators (PWFA) represent a disruptive candidate for next-generation high-energy accelerators. By providing accelerating gradients orders of magnitude higher than conventional ...
The Wakefield Acceleration and Radiation Generation (WARG) research group is led by Prof. Mike Litos of the CU Physics Department and the Center for Integrated Plasma Studies (CIPS). Our primary area ...
Surf's up: a simulation of a plasma wakefield acceleration. (Courtesy: F Tsung/W An/UCLA/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) Physicists from across Europe have outlined plans to build a new ...
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 ...
A linear electron-positron collider operating at TeV-scale energies will provide high precision measurements and allow, for example, precision studies of the Higgs boson as well as searches for ...
Scientists harnessing precise control of ultrafast lasers have accelerated electrons over a 20-centimeter stretch to speeds usually reserved for particle accelerators the size of 10 football fields. A ...
Twenty-five feet below ground, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientist Spencer Gessner opens a large metal picnic basket. This is not your typical picnic basket filled with cheese, bread and ...
Scientists have demonstrated at the FLASHForward experiment that in principle it is possible to operate plasma accelerators at the repetition rates desired by particle physicists and photon scientists ...
