It's a paper that's been more than four decades in the making. Published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, a study ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated nonlinear Compton scattering (NCS) between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an ultrahigh intensity laser pulse using the 4-Petawatt laser.

That’s because, as far as we know, electrons are fundamental particles. In other words, they have no smaller components. That ...

“The functions of this project are fundamental in nature within nuclear physics on how particles interact with electron beams ...

Some physics faculty at Louisiana Tech University’s College of Engineering and Science have been awarded a $625,000 grant ...

Entangled electrons Illustration depicting an atom (green nucleus with a white electron cloud) that is hit by a laser pulse (red). One electron is ripped out of the atom (black sphere on the right) ...

Physicists have long wondered why particles can only have an electric charge of +1, -2 or any whole number. Now we ...

Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has ...

Nuclear theorists uncover the mass distribution within the pion and the proton through groundbreaking first-principle ...

Boston College Assistant Professor of Physics Fazel Tafti found in the metal superconductor, a synthesis of Niobium and Germanium (NbGe2), that a strong interaction between electrons and phonons ...

Particle accelerator scientists have made the measurements, crunched the numbers and consolidated the data on the performance ...

A research team has achieved a major advance in X-ray science by generating unprecedented high-power attosecond hard X-ray pulses at megahertz repetition rates. This advancement opens new frontiers in ...
