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 ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...

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 ...
