• ITMO Physicists Twist Electrons for Particle Accelerator Experiments

  Researchers from ITMO University are the first to have found a way to twist electrons with a laser beam, opening up a path towards experiments with twisted electrons in particle colliders – a feat previously considered impossible. The discovery will make it possible to learn more about the structure and behavior of protons and neutrons that make up atom nuclei, as well as look into the nature of quarks, some of the smallest known matter particles. The results of the study are described in a paper published in Physical Review A.
