Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

A major scientific breakthrough could change how we understand and control ionization — the process where atoms lose electrons and become charged. Researchers from the University of Ottawa have ...

The wide range of applications of these laser-driven particle beams has spurred the construction of petawatt facilities worldwide, including the OMEGA EP laser facility at the University of ...

Scientists have long used Gaussian beams to study how light interacts with matter. These beams resemble plane waves and rely ...

But it's not as simple as just shooting a few lasers down a tunnel. "We have a one-kilometer-long machine, and the laser ...

A plasma instability has been photographed for the first time, showcasing electron beams forming spaghetti-like filaments.

The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...

The most powerful ultrashort electron beam ever created offers new possibilities for recreating cosmic conditions in ...

With its classical parallel beam laser diffraction set-up, HELOS provides a powerful method means of analyzing the particle size distribution of powders, granulates, solid and droplet aerosols as ...

When you think of a particle accelerator ... sizes up to 0.5 millimeters long. An electron beam moves through the channel. Very short infrared laser pulses on top of the channels accelerate ...
