The most powerful laser in the U.S. just fired up to full strength for its first official experiment—and it’s an absolute ...

Driving the compact plasma accelerator MAGMA, the innovative laser has been shown to accelerate 100 particle bunches per second. This increased repetition rate opens the path to actively stabilize ...

Scientists at DESY (Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron) have moved closer toward developing compact, powerful particle accelerators. They have successfully used their new laser system, KALDERA ...

ZEUS relied on a reconfigured target for its debut demonstration, which required firing a laser pulse at a cell containing ...

The ZEUS laser at the University of Michigan has achieved 2 petawatts of power in its first official experiment, setting a ...

(Courtesy: HZDR/Blaurock) Physicists in Germany say they have passed an important milestone in the development of laser-driven, plasma-based particle acceleration. Proton pulses with energies as high ...

Crews cooled a tunnel housing a particle accelerator to negative 456 degrees ... LCLS-II will produce more X-ray pulses than the current laser has generated in its entire lifetime,” director ...

Laser-based approaches promise a low-cost, compact and simple alternative, compared with conventional accelerators. Particle accelerators are used extensively in many branches of the natural sciences.

This new funding round enables TAU Systems to open the doors of the first privately owned and operated laser-particle accelerator in Carlsbad, California, and to begin work with its first customer ...
