Same-Energy Electrons Pulsed from Laser Accelerator

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GARCHING, Germany, June 3, 2012 — Electron pulses — all with nearly the same tunable energy — have been produced from a laser accelerator. The accomplishment makes electrons, which travel at a velocity close to the speed of light, easier to control as a tool for ultrafast physics experiments. A team at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics, led by Dr. Laszlo Veisz and professor Stefan Karsch of Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, produced the femtosecond-scale pulses using a laser. Until now, bunches of electrons were mostly created using large and costly radio-frequency (RF) accelerators, but the...Read full article
