LCLS-II will produce up to one million X-ray pulses per second and will be 10,000 times brighter than its predecessor.
LCLS-II will generate one million X-ray pulses per second, a massive improvement on the original LCLS’s
120 pulses per second. The new X-rays will be 10,000 times brighter than those generated by its predecessor“Now that there’s a lot more photons, there’s a lot more X-rays to do science with,” Andrew Burrill, associate lab director for the Accelerator Directorate, . “If you’re collecting data… it takes a long time at 120 shots a second. But at a million shots a second, it doesn’t take any time at all.”“The light from SLAC’s LCLS-II will illuminate the smallest and fastest phenomena in the universe and lead to big discoveries in disciplines ranging from human health to quantum materials science,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm, in a SLAC release.
and needed to be cooled back down to its frigid temperatures. The wind event ultimately cost the team five months.Achieving first light means the LCLS-II teams at SLAC have demonstrated the X-ray parameters needed for the project to be complete. No science has been done yet with LCLS-II—the first users of the upgraded accelerator will arrive in November—and the next couple of months will be occupied with final checks to make sure the upgraded accelerator is ready for science.
But buckle up. Whether you’re interested in movies of molecules or improving the efficiency of phone batteries, the future of science and technolo
