A paper by the Chairman of Tau Zero's board, Jeffrey Greason, and Gerrit Bruhaug, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory who specializes in laser physics, takes a look at the physics of one ...
1). The two approaches — laser wakefield and ion beam accelerators — promise reductions of many orders of magnitude in size, cost and complexity, compared with conventional accelerators.
A frothy breakthrough at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), using lasers with a silver metal foam that's as light as air, has created the brightest yet X-ray source ever, twice as ...
sapphire femtosecond laser system (Spectra Physics, Solstice 35 fs, 1 kHz repetition rate at 800 nm) is used. Shadow imaging technology was used to detect the dynamics of laser shock waves. The ...
