acceleration techniques, and is being widely pursued for potential applications in medicine,
industry and fundamental science. Creating a stable, collimated beam of protons at high
repetition rates presents a key challenge. Here, we demonstrate the generation of multi-MeV
proton beams from a fast-replenishing ambient-temperature liquid sheet. The beam has an
unprecedentedly low divergence of 1°(≤ 20 mrad), resulting from magnetic self-guiding of …
