Plasma beams can get extremely hot, but not before potentially flash cooling a target. Researchers at the University of Virginia’s Experiments and Simulations in Thermal Engineering (ExSITE) Lab have ...

Laser beam interactions with plasma are at the forefront of contemporary high-energy density physics, offering transformative potential in areas ranging from inertial confinement fusion to advanced ...

Researchers have experimentally generated high-density relativistic electron-positron pair-plasma beams by producing two to three orders of magnitude more pairs than previously reported. Black holes ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), have designed innovative technology that can generate both ...

The Large Helical Device (LHD) and the heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system. The inset on the left shows an enlarged view of the section from the negative ion source to the injection side of the tandem ...

Plasma Wakefield Accelerators (PWFA) represent a disruptive candidate for next-generation high-energy accelerators. By ...
