Laser plasma acceleration is a potentially disruptive technology: It could be used to build far more compact accelerators and open up new use cases in fundamental research, industry and health.

A state-of-the-art mobile electron beam accelerator unit is now operational and ready to provide on-site services on a pilot basis in Brazil. Housed inside a truck, the e-beam accelerator can travel ...

The compact design of Fermilab’s electron beam prototype accelerator for sterilizing medical equipment is made possible by combining four emerging particle accelerator technologies. During the ...

Sapra et al. developed an integrated particle accelerator using photonic inverse design methods to optimize the interaction between the light and the electrons. They show that an additional kick of ...
