Machine Learning Helps Ease the Jitters of High-Power Lasers

(l-r) Researchers Anthony Gonsalves, Alessio Amodio, and Dan Wang at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory align precision optics to prepare the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) Petawatt laser for laser-plasma accelerator (LPA) experiments. The machine learning–based control algorithm stabilizes the high-power laser’s pointing at the LPA target.(Credit: Thor Swift/Berkeley Lab).

GRETA Dedication: Celebrating a Decade of GRETINA Science

GRETA Project Director Paul Fallon and Berkeley Lab's Deputy Director for Research Carol Burns stand in between GRETA's detector hemispheres to conduct the "ribbon cutting" ceremony while several key people involved in the inception, delivery, and future use of GRETA join the celebration. On the left side of the photo (from left to right) are Sergio Zimmermann (former project manager for GRETA from Berkeley Lab’s Engineering Division, now retired), Thomas Glasmacher (FRIB Laboratory Director), Marie-Agnes Deleplanque (a former Berkeley Lab senior staff scientist and Nuclear Structure Group lead, now retired), and Natalie Roe, Berkeley Lab's Associate Director for the Physical Sciences. On the right side (from left to right) are I-Yang Lee (a former senior staff scientist in the Nuclear Structure Group, now retired), GRETA Deputy Project Director Heather Crawford, and Nuclear Science Division Director Reiner Kruecken.
