NewsArticle on the history and recent advances of laser-based electron acceleration in CERN Courier
CERN Courier published an article covering the history of on-chip accelerators using silicon-based structures illuminated by lasers. These dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) promise powerful, high-energy, high-repetition-rate particle sources suitable for applications in medical facilities and quantum communication, thanks to their compact size and efficiency. Recent experiments demonstrate significant progress in accelerating gradients, beam control, and […]CERN Courier published an article covering the history of on-chip accelerators using silicon-based structures illuminated by lasers.
