A group of experimentalists from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology working at Brookhaven National Lab have successfully used an electron beam acting on excited gaseous carbon dioxide atoms to produce a stimulated emission beam of electrons. The PASER (Particle Acceleration by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) coherently amplifies incident electron energy.
One possible application mentioned was the generation of high-quality X-Rays for nano-science.
