The most modern light sources for research are based on particle accelerators. These are large facilities in which electrons are accelerated to almost the speed of light, and then emit light pulses of ...

A new kind of plasma accelerator has cleared a hurdle that has dogged the field for decades, lifting electron energy and beam brightness at the same time instead of forcing scientists to trade one for ...

The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...
