Experts at the BELLA Center used dual laser beams focused onto a sheet of gas to reach a milestone energy in laser-driven electron acceleration. Four members of the larger team gathered with the ...

To harness the forces that power the Sun, researchers heat fuel to such a high temperature that atoms melt into electrons and nuclei to form a hot, gaseous soup called plasma. The plasma can rip ...

modified by the presence of toroidal field ripple, and if sufficiently large, ripple can cause the orbits of trapped particles to become stochastic and to be lost from the plasma in a time that is ...
