How do particle accelerators really work?
Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...
Few technologies have the power that particle accelerator technology has to touch upon such a broad range of applications at the many frontiers of modern science. Today, thanks to improvements in ...
Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) provide a compact and cost-effective solution to this problem by driving accelerator nanostructures with visible or near-infrared (NIR) pulsed lasers, resulting in ...
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has made a new type of accelerator structure that gives 10 times larger energy gain over the same distance in a regular accelerator. Accelerators can be made 10 ...
Booster shot: a section of an accelerator-on-a-chip. The grey structures focus infrared laser light (shown in yellow and purple) on electrons flowing through the centre channel. The structure is about ...
Laser-based accelerator technology has been given a boost thanks to researchers based in Korea, Japan and the USA. Their latest research could lead the way towards compact accelerators that can ...
How it could work: electrons are injected into the dielectric laser accelerator (centre) from a source at the top left. The cavities are within the turquoise and gold bars, which are illuminated with ...
Launched in March 2024, the iSAS project (Innovate for Sustainable Accelerating Systems) aims to demonstrate new technologies that drastically reduce the environmental impact of particle accelerators.
