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

Osaka, Japan – Using high-intensity lasers, researchers have taken an important step towards miniaturization of particle accelerators by demonstrating ...

Scientists have activated the smallest particle accelerator ever built—a tiny device roughly the size of a coin. This advancement opens new doors for particle acceleration, promising exciting ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

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 ...

Bjorn “Manuel” Hegelich led the development of a compact laser accelerator that produces an electron beam with an energy of 10 billion electron volts. This gas cell is a key component of a compact ...

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 ...

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 ...
