In fact the laser power supply system together with laser itself occupies almost as much space as a conventional accelerator does.
Also laser acceleration have a long way to go to achieve the repetition rate, efficiency and reliability of a conventional radio frequency accelerators.
I think it's quite stupid to post such hardcore physics on slashdot.
It's impossible to understand that kind of article without MS in astrophysics
or something.
