Description
Laser plasma accelerators have the potential to greatly reduce the cost and size of particle accelerators. A breakthrough in the gas profile used to accelerate the particles is required. Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation proposes to increase the repetition rate of our fast valve from 1 pulse/second today to 10 pulses/second in Ph-I and beyond 100 pulses/second in Ph-II, on the path to a 1000 pulse/second valve for commercial applications. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: Linear plasma accelerators have the potential to substantially reduce the costs of a particle accelerator. By developing an enabling technology, AASC can secure flagpole IP and license it to future accelerators.
