Scientists carefully positioned lasers to compress billions of electrons together, creating a beam five times more powerful ...

Try to fathom the power of 1 million nuclear power plants. Now, imagine there is a way to pack the equivalent of that into ...

The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...

The term 'laser' stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation." Lasers are made of a source of energy, ...

With its classical parallel beam laser diffraction set-up, HELOS provides a powerful method means of analyzing the particle size distribution of powders, granules, suspensions, emulsions, sprays and ...

Laser particle detectors are a high-tech way for quantifying whats floating around in the air. With a fan, a laser, and a sensitive photodetector, they can measure smoke and other particulates in ...

A free-electron laser is not like other lasers. It works by forcing a beam of electrons ... piggy-backed on systems originally designed for particle physics applications, and both appear to ...

"We have a one-kilometer-long machine, and the laser interacts with the beam in the first 10 meters, so you have to get the shaping exactly right, then you have to transport the beam for another ...

When you think of a particle accelerator ... sizes up to 0.5 millimeters long. An electron beam moves through the channel. Very short infrared laser pulses on top of the channels accelerate ...

The Bettersizer 2600 utilizes widely recognized Laser Diffraction Technology for particle measurement, with a range of particle sizes from 0.02 to 2,600 μm. To transform light signals from the ...
