Abstract

Particle accelerators are powerful tools used in medicine, manufacturing, and fundamental science, but conventional accelerator facilities are large, expensive, and limited in number. This award advances a promising alternative: laser-driven particle accelerators that can achieve extremely high energies over much shorter distances by using plasma as the accelerating medium. The award supports the extension of this…
