New in PNAS: we recreated blazar pair cascades in the lab. Using CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron, we produced dense electron–positron beams and sent them through plasma to test whether beam instabilities can disrupt them, they can’t.

Some photos from the mini-workshop of today where Joao JS, Rafael A and John P gave a talk about their work.
We continue GoLP’s tradition of having mini-workshops the day before a PhD defense, including the committee members. Tomorrow we’ll have Camilla W’s defense.
