Solving big problems with small accelerators
- 00:38:15
Description |
|---|
|
We will discuss the progress on building laser powered, plasma based particle accelerators where electrons surf on waves and can reach energy levels in a few inches that, if one relies on conventional methods, would require machines multiple football fields long. Although many challenges remain, this new technology is at the brink of offering a profoundly different way in which we may build particle accelerators such as used in future colliders or in medical cancer therapy devices. |
