The team has used RHIC to smash the nuclei of gold atoms at near-light speed since 2000, collecting data to recreate and ...

Scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have achieved a significant milestone in laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) technology. They have generated fast, bright proton beams by using the ...

Plasma wakefield accelerators can provide energy gain of up to two orders of magnitude greater than conventional RF accelerators, making them a promising new technology for creating compact particle ...

outlines how a high-intensity infrared laser was used to generate filamentation instability—a phenomenon that affects applications in plasma-based particle accelerators and fusion energy methods.

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, entered its 25th and final ...

Researchers have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and molecules using specially structured light beams, challenging traditional limits. This breakthrough could lead to ...

My research is in plasma and accelerator physics, especially as analyzed by nonlinear dynamics and advanced computational methods (massively parallel, object oriented). I'm working on applications to ...

The Sunbird concept is for the fusion-powered ‘tugs’ to be permanently based in space, able to dock with spacecraft and ...

A team of physicists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory ... chemical processes or perhaps producing new kinds of plasma or revealing more about the nature of empty space.

The mind-bending experiments taking place in particle accelerators around the world, including the Large Hadron Collider. Quarks, munons, bosons, and dark matter galore. By Andrew Paul By Tom ...

The team found these shock waves to be among nature’s most powerful particle accelerators. These shock waves are born in plasma — a gas of charged particles that can conduct electricity and ...
