In dielectric laser acceleration, nanostructures etched into silicon are used to convert free-space ultrashort laser pulses to accelerate particles. This current approach, namely, illuminating the structure with a laser directed nearly horizontally to the substrate, is experimentally challenging and...

A defense under very special circumstances, via Zoom -- everything went well, in terms of content anyway, and technically there were only two minimal hiccups. Constanze Gerner defended her dissertation with great success in a very lively defense despite the purely virtual meeting. The Zoom reception...
