Now a team of researchers from China, South Korea and the U.S. has proposed a new way to minimize the energy spread of electrons in laser wakefield accelerators. (sciencedaily.com)
In plasma wakefield acceleration, energetic bundles of electrons or positrons traverse a plasma and generate plasma «wakes» for trailing bunches of particles to ride. (sciencedaily.com)
