Electrons Tamed: The Breakthrough That Could Shrink Particle Accelerators

DESY scientists have taken a major step in refining laser plasma acceleration, a technology that could revolutionize particle accelerators by making them smaller, cheaper, and more versatile. Their recent success in using a clever magnetic correction system has dramatically improved the beam quality—reducing energy variation and improving consistency. With these improvements, laser-plasma accelerators could soon [...]
