Description
Particle accelerators have been using pretty much the same technology since they were invented back in the 1930’s. The recent development of ultra-high intensity lasers and laser-driven plasma acceleration could change this trend forever. Dr Ceri Brenner, from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, will share her experiences working with the world’s most powerful lasers in her talk Dream Beams at the Symposium Quantum Leap towards the Next Generation of Accelerators.
