Official account of LBNL's ATAP Division. Supporting @berkeleylab.lbl.gov and DOE's mission by inventing particle accelerators to explore and control matter and energy.
@atap.lbl.govLed by Berkeley Lab scientists, the Department of Energy SI Genesis Mission-funded Multi-Office Accelerator Team Core Project will use #SuperIntelligence to improve the design and operation of #ParticleAccelerators, supporting advances in science.
@atap.lbl.govCongratulations to our research scientist, Dan Wang, on receiving a Department of Energy Early Career Research Award. Wang’s research will apply #SuperIntelligence to real-time control of #ParticleAccelerators and high-power lasers.
@atap.lbl.govOur September All-to-All meeting featured a talk on compact soft X-ray FELs driven by laser-plasma accelerators, a presentation on respect, and a talk on tick prevention at Berkeley Lab.
