For the first time, a so-called laser plasma accelerator has run for more than a day while continuously producing electron beams. The LUX beamline, jointly developed and operated by DESY and the University of Hamburg, achieved a run time of 30 hours. &#8220;This brings us a big step closer to the steady operation of this innovative particle accelerator technology,&#8221; says DESY&#8217;s Andreas R. Maier, the leader of the group. The scientists are reporting on their record in the journal Physical Review X. &#8220;The time is ripe to move laser plasma acceleration from the laboratory to practical applications,&#8221; adds the director of DESY&#8217;s Accelerator Division, Wim Leemans.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2020-08-world-plasma-clock.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">World record: Plasma accelerator operates right around the clock<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team of researchers at DESY has reached an important milestone on the road to the particle accelerator of the future.
