(A laser microchannel experiment. A relativistically intense laser is shot at so-called "microchannel array" targets that have ultratiny tubes that experimenters try and get the beam down. Crazy physics then proceeds to happen with high-energy electrons, lots of THz and lots of x-rays made.)

Summary

The picture on the left is a laser-generated Target Normal Sheath Acceleration proton source. A relativistically intense laser hits a foil and blows out a huge jet of protons (and electrons) at MeV energies.

The reddish one on the right is a laser-microchannel experiment. A relativistically intense laser is shot at so-called "microchannel array" targets that have ultratiny tubes that experimenters try and get the beam down. Crazy physics then proceeds to happen with high-energy electrons, lots of THz and lots of x-rays made.
