Meter-long 10 GeV accelerators

Do you want to build a 10 GeV accelerator of electrons in your bathroom? You need some strong lasers and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory experts can tell you what to do.

• From zero to a billion electron volts in 3.3 centimeters

I will leave the job to others to say some intelligent comments about this fascinating text. For example, can someone say whether they can build a new LaserTeVaSLAC that would be just 100 meter long? ;-)

Thanks to Guido.
