Probing the Ultra Small and the Ultra Fast:
A Study of Free Electron Lasers
Chris Wilen
Ever wonder how colliders such as the LHC are able to accelerate particles up to such high energy, while at the same time keeping them in a small enough area to collide them? Want to know how it is becoming possible to image photosynthesis and other molecular reactions? Come learn how the expired collider at Stanford was recycled, becoming the world’s most powerful x-ray laser, probing the ultra fast and the ultra small.
