Acceleration of electrons in the plasma wakefield of a proton bunch

Or you know, you could do boring things with the tech, like make more efficient fusion reactors, laser defense systems or spacecraft propulsion🤷‍♂️ I personally prefer the "intimidating my enemies" approach.

The coolest thing about plasma accelerators (IMHO) is the potential to develop the technology to build real-life Rasengan's you can fire at your enemies, rivals or those who disrespect your nation's sovereignty. https://t.co/gbkdCuSm4c

RT @ToughSf: AWAKE is an experiment that successfully demonstrated plasma wakefield acceleration. It used 400 GeV protons to punch through…
