*Researchers simulate electrons in astrophysical plasma jets*
The HZDR researchers hope to understand the properties of laser-driven radiation sources more precisely with the help of analytical models and simulations. Compact accelerators for treating cancer with energetic particles could be developed with these radiation sources. The scientists want to use high-intensity laser pulses <http://phys.org/tags/laser+pulses/>to achieve this goal. They thus have to precisely understand the interaction of the laser light with matter in order to optimize these advanced radiation sources for applications. For this they simulate this interaction on the atomistic level, the level of individual electrons and atoms.
