U.S. regains the lead in friendly x-ray laser ‘arms race’
The United States has regained the global lead in x-ray lasers. The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II), a so-called x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, has produced its first flashes of x-rays, lab officials announced today. Supporting studies of everything from the structures of biomolecules to the conditions in the cores of planets, the upgraded machine will produce data 8000 times faster than the original LCLS and in some ways surpass its main rival, the European XFEL near Hamburg, Germany.
