'Go big or go home' might be the unofficial motto of the United States -- but in the case of the world's newest and most advanced particle accelerator, that's certainly not the case. The new plasma ...

Schematic of a plasma wakefield accelerator using optical laser beams and electron driver, escort, and witness beams for generating bright, coherent X-ray laser beams with attosecond duration and ...

An advisory committee recommends the US work to advance three key areas of emerging accelerator technology. To study some of the smallest things in the universe, particle physicists use some of the ...

Plasma Wakefield Accelerators (PWFA) represent a disruptive candidate for next-generation high-energy accelerators. By providing accelerating gradients orders of magnitude higher than conventional ...
