team
of scientists and engineers led by Wim Leemans of the Accelerator
and Fusion Research Division (AFRD) has used a high-powered
beam of light from a multi-terawatt laser in combination with
a highly dense plasma (ionized gas) of helium to accelerate
electrons to more than 30 million electron volts (MeV) of energy
within a distance of one millimeter. |
