Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

When it comes to making groundbreaking discoveries in particle physics, scientists rely on large particle accelerators to conduct advanced experiments. These powerful machines use long tracks and ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam ...

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 ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...
