Particle Accelerators

Artist’s depiction of the spray of particles arising from the collision of two heavy atoms. As the hot subatomic soup cools, newly formed particles shower off into space.

Pair plasmas found in deep space can now be generated in the lab

Illustration of a shoebox-sized accelerator. An electron source and buncher/injector feeds into a sub-relativistic DLA (the device described in this article), which accelerates electrons up to 1MeV in energy. These electrons are further accelerated by SiO2 waveguide-driven relativistic DLA, and finally pass through an undulator to produce coherent free-electron radiation.

Steering and accelerating electrons at the microchip scale

This gas cell is a key component of a compact wakefield laser accelerator developed at The University of Texas at Austin. Inside, an extremely powerful laser strikes helium gas, heats it into a plasma and creates waves that kick electrons from the gas out in a high-energy electron beam.

Compact accelerator technology achieves major energy milestone
