The Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator Center (BELLA) focuses on the development and application of laser-plasma accelerators (LPAs). LPAs produce ultrahigh accelerating fields (1-100 GV/m) and may provide a compact technology for a variety of applications that include accelerators for high energy physics and drivers for high energy photon sources. For more information about BELLA please visit http://bella.lbl.gov/.
A project is being initiated to add additional beamlines to the existing BELLA laser. This solicitation is for large laser optics to support this expansion.
