Surfing the wake

Article Abstract:

Plasma particle accelerators are far more powerful than conventional particle accelerators and are able to generate high-intensity electric fields. Research shows the self-modulated laser-wakefield process generates 94-MeV electrons. High-intensity 10(super 18) watts per centimeter lasers can generate an electric field of 3 times ten (super 12) volts per meter. The laser wakefield process, unlike laser-beat-wave processes, does not have a growth phase.

Plasma physics: On the crest of a wake

Article Abstract:

A novel technique is described for accelerating electrons in the ultra-relativistic electron beam propagating through an ionized gas (a plasma), which is achieved at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in California. The results have shown that the ultra-high gradients of plasma wakefield accelerators can be extended towards the high-energy frontier.

In the wake of success

Article Abstract:

Particle accelerator, which is said to be large and expensive, is detailed. Acceleration occurs when charged particles such as electrons or positrons pass across a gradient of electric field.
