Alex Bogacz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility since 1997, has spent his career in accelerator physics solving problems. From ...
Beam dynamics is a research area within accelerator physics that investigates the motion, stability, and phase-space evolution of charged particle beams under the influence of electromagnetic fields ...
Nuclear fusion, which operates on the same principle that powers the sun, is expected to become a sustainable energy source for the future. To achieve fusion power generation, it is essential to ...
The Large Helical Device (LHD) and the heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system. The inset on the left shows an enlarged view of the section from the negative ion source to the injection side of the tandem ...
Accurate identification of pantograph–catenary contact force remains a challenging inverse problem, particularly under high-speed operating conditions where high-frequency dynamics play a critical ...
The plasma and beams group conducts research at the crossroads of plasma physics, particle beam physics, and laser physics. Our goal is to study particle beam acceleration in strong plasma waves that ...
LWFA are attractive acceleration techniques for generating electron beams with a broad range of energies, ranging from sub-\(\:GeV\) to \(\:10\:GeV\), and potentially up to \(\:100\:GeV,\) on a ...
A collaboration of researchers led by Cornell University has been awarded $22.5 million from the National Science Foundation to continue gaining the fundamental understanding needed to transform the ...
