Science: Compact, cheaper, laser-powered particle accelerators get real

 

Compact, cheaper, laser-powered particle accelerators get real

Little powerhouses might someday replace billion-dollar, kilometer-long behemoths at major x-ray facilities

An elegant new concept may be about to revolutionize the technology of particle acceleration, which animates huge atom smashers and x-ray sources. For decades, some physicists have strived to develop an accelerator powered by laser light that would be much smaller and cheaper than existing machines. Recent progress suggests laser plasma accelerators (LPAs) may soon realize that bright promise.
