Abstract We present a first on-chip positron accelerator based on dielectric laser acceleration. This innovative approach significantly reduces the physical dimensions of the positron acceleration apparatus, enhancing its feasibility for diverse applications. By utilizing a stacked acceleration structure and far-infrared laser technology, we are able to achieve a seven-stage acceleration structure that surpasses the distance and energy gain of using the previous dielectric laser acceleration methods. Additionally, we are able to compress the positron beam to an ultrafast sub-femtosecond scale during the acceleration process, compared with the traditional methods, the positron beam is compressed to a greater extent. We also demonstrate the robustness of the stacked acceleration structure through the successful acceleration of the positron beam.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
