Protons reach record energy riding moving laser waves
Original: Protons ride moving waves to reach record energy with long-pulse lasers
Researchers report that protons have been accelerated to record energy levels using long-pulse lasers by riding moving plasma waves. The technique, described as a laser-driven wakefield approach, could point to more compact and cheaper particle accelerators for research, medicine and industry. Details of the achievement are being circulated through research news services, with scientists highlighting the advance as a milestone in laser-based particle acceleration.
Why now: A reported record in laser-driven proton acceleration is a notable physics breakthrough with implications for future accelerator technology.
