Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have achieved a significant milestone in laser-plasma acceleration (LPA). They have successfully accelerated electrons to an ...

Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...

Berkeley Lab researchers are developing an approach to avoid sudden, potentially destructive energy releases in a new generation of superconducting magnets. The particle accelerators that enable ...

A newly upgraded laser at the United States Department of Energy’s Stanford Linear Accelerator Laboratory, or SLAC, National Accelerator Laboratory produced its first X-rays with help from the ...
