Accelerators are huge and expensive, tubes miles long that produce high energy particles to smash protons and make intense X-ray beams. 21st-century technology has taken us from the room sized ENIAC to microprocessors that fit in your pocket. Can it do the same for particle accelerators? We could use fiber optics or silicon crystals to build the particle pathways, and high-power lasers as the driver. In this lecture, we will show how we are assembling these systems at SLAC to build the accelerator on a chip.
Free and open to all. Registration is not required. Parking is free. You will require to present an ID upon entering SLAC.
