For the first time, scientists have "photographed" a rare plasma instability, where high-energy electron beams form into ...

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.
