Driving advancement in laser-plasma accelerators and their enabling technologies
The laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) is a potentially revolutionary concept, now in its exciting early days, for making accelerators smaller and more affordable. The BELLA Center uses one of the world’s most powerful lasers in its campaign toward the next landmark in LPA energy — 10 GeV — and is developing numerous spinoff applications.
