In experiments so far, the mechanisms of ion acceleration can be classified ... either within the plasma itself, in a counterpropagating laser beam or in a permanent magnet undulator.

When you think of a particle accelerator ... into a beam and pass through some (moving) VHS tape. The electrons punch a hole through the tape. In their wake they leave a hot plasma of mid-90s ...

Once a year, the Large Hadron Collider smashes lead ions. But how do scientists get a heavy metal into a particle accelerator ...

The world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator ... the quark-gluon plasma can only be created in two places on Earth – the LHC and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, a ...

A plasma wakefield accelerator (PWFA) can be thought of as an energy transformer: one source of energy (e.g. a laser pulse or an electron beam) is used to drive a plasma wave, and that energy is ...

The new project, which will bring together researchers who have a common interest in biosensing, stems from a previous project that was broader in scope and aimed at advancing accelerator-based ion ...

The Ion Beam Breeding Group is developing tailor-made breeding techniques by adjusting the species, speed, and number of heavy ions to match the gene size to be mutated while maintaining a high ...

and harden metal, ceramic and glass finishes. Ion implanters can also improve the reliability of materials used for medical implants. There are almost 10 000 electron beam accelerators in operation ...

Research in plasma physics is extraordinarily broad, encompassing basic physics of plasmas, fusion sciences, space and astrophysics, beam and accelerator physics, laser-matter interactions, and ...
