Plasma-based particle accelerators offer an opportunity to significantly reduce the size and cost of high-energy particle beams for applications ranging from ultrafast electron diffraction, to X-ray free electron lasers, to high-energy particle colliders. These applications in turn serve users in a variety of research fields by permitting access to ultrafast dynamics at atomic scales, or even fundamental particle interactions. [Read More…]
