Laser-plasma interactions have emerged as a cornerstone of advanced particle accelerator research, where ultrashort, ultraintense laser pulses interact with matter to generate extreme electric fields.

Laser ion acceleration uses intense laser flashes to heat electrons of a solid to enormous temperatures and propel these charged particles to extreme speeds. These have recently gained traction for ...

Physicists are using the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to test key accelerator strategies for a new state-of-the-art Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) that will reuse some of RHIC's crucial ...

When the China Institute of Atomic Energy announced that its POWER-750H tandem high‐energy hydrogen ion implanter had finally ...

A drop of methanol is distorted to form a cup of hot plasma. Plasma waves are driven in this cup by an intense laser, releasing hot electrons, followed by accelerated protons. Laser Ion acceleration ...
