The development of laser–plasma accelerators began in the early 1980s, inspired by the pioneering work of Tajima and Dawson 1. Key to their operation is the fact that unlike the superconducting ...

Laser-produced plasmas have been used to create short bursts of x-rays and to accelerate particles — so-called plasma-based accelerators. Laser produced plasmas are also useful for recreating ...

The promise of laser-plasma acceleration Enter laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs). LPAs use high-intensity lasers to strike a target, generating charged particle beams that reach comparable speeds ...

Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) involves a laser ablation procedure, where a laser pulse interacts with a material surface to induce the formation of a plasma plume that expands away from the surface.
