(computing) Usage of dedicated hardware to perform a task, rather than relying on equivalent software, as it will be more performant.

plural of proper acceleration

(physics) A method of high-gradient particle acceleration which utilizes the longitudinal electric field of plasma wakefield excited by a laser pulse or bunch of relativistic charged particles.

The force which causes accelerated motion.

(mechanics) Motion with a continually increasing velocity.

A device that accelerates electrically charged particles to extremely high speeds, for the purpose of inducing high energy reactions or producing high energy radiation.

(physics) A particle accelerator that uses plasma as the medium of the accelerating field instead of a vacuum, to obtain a larger accelerating gradient.
