The HALHF collaboration is developing a disruptive platform technology that could slash the size, cost and carbon footprint ...

Scientists are celebrating not just one but two milestones in the development of innovative plasma accelerators. A group of scientists used their accelerator to test a technique that allows the energy ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) and the heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system. The inset on the left shows an enlarged view of the section from the negative ion source to the injection side of the tandem ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers led by DESY scientists has demonstrated for the first time at the FLASHForward experiment that, in principle, it is possible to operate plasma accelerators at the ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam brightness at the same time instead of forcing scientists to trade one for ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...

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 ...

At the start of the 20th century scientists had little knowledge of the building blocks that form our physical world. By the end of the century they had discovered not just all the elements that are ...
