Protons hit record energy using long-pulse lasers

Original: Protons ride moving waves to reach record energy with long-pulse lasers

Researchers report that protons have been accelerated to record energy by riding moving plasma waves, using long-pulse lasers rather than the ultra-short pulses typically required. The result suggests a simpler, more accessible route to high-energy particle acceleration, with potential implications for compact accelerator technology and research applications.

Why now: A record-setting result in laser-driven particle acceleration is noteworthy for the physics and accelerator community.
