Delay line detectors have the advantage of being able to detect the position and time of particle events with high precision while also being multi-hit capable. Our article presents a novel machine learning approach to enhance the spatiotemporal resolution of delay line detectors for multi-event re...

Particle accelerators are indispensable for research, medicine and industry. We have developed a miniature particle accelerator that accelerates and guides electrons through nanostructures using laser light. In an interview in Welt der Physik (German), Prof. Dr. Hommelhoff and Stefanie Kraus repo...

Needle tips are known to be the electron source with the highest beam quality. However, due to their small size, the emitted current is limited. Combining the emission of multiple tips should allow for high currents while still providing appreciable beam quality. We have fabricated and measured an a...

How do the electron number statistics behave when classical light and non-classical light are used to trigger non-linear photoemission from nanometer-sized metal tips? We discuss this question in our recently published manuscript in Nature Physics, which can be read here. For more details see als...
