Smaller accelerators for particle physics
Washington DC (SPX) May 28, 2014 - It took every inch of the Large Hadron Collider's 17-mile length to accelerate particles to energies high enough to discover the Higgs boson. Now, imagine an accelerator that could do the same thing in, say, the length of a football field. Or less. That is the promise of laser-plasma accelerators, which use lasers instead of high-power radio-frequency waves to energize electrons in very sh ... more
