Ultra-bright X-ray laser pulses of the Linac Coherent Light Source

Researchers made the first microscopic movies of liquids getting vaporized by SLAC’s X-ray free-electron laser LCLS.

The second annual Joe Wong Outstanding Poster Award Session was held at the 2017 SSRL/LCLS Users’ Meeting.

A close-up of the XL5 klystron. Manufactured by CPI, it was brought to SLAC for testing at a unique facility that can power the tube with 400,000-volt pulses. Building its own test facility would have cost the company at least...

Undulator Hall with soft X-ray undulators to the left and hard-X-ray undulators to the right.

Identifying each tiny chemical step in photosynthesis could aid the development of renewable energy technology.

Researchers used SLAC’s ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) as an electron camera to take snapshots of a three-atom-thick layer of a promising material as it wrinkles in response to a laser pulse.

In this illustration, the pairs of red spheres are escaping oxygen atoms and purple spheres are metal ions. This new understanding could lead to new ways to minimize the problem and improve battery performance.

Kavli Institute for Partical Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) scientist Ralf Kaehler, at work here in the "Vizlab," and colleagues use computer visualizations to simulate and study the formation and evolution of the Universe.
