Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a precision that once sounded like science fiction. Instead of simply blasting ...

In high-intensity laser–matter interactions, including laser-induced particle acceleration, physicists generally want to work with the highest possible focused laser peak power, which is the ratio of ...

The radiation environment near Earth remains a challenging topic of study due to its complex dynamics, spanning multiple energy and temporal scales. During ...

NSF OPAL (Optical Parametric Amplifier Line) is a mid-scale research infrastructure project funded by the National Science ...
