Scientists develop new method to create super stable X-rays – Phys.org

Modern X-ray laser facilities like the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory allow scientists to study how nature behaves at ultrasmall and ultrafast scales. However, the individual X-ray pulses are unstable, fluctuating from shot to shot, and produce a lot of background noise that can obscure the signal in high-resolution experiments.
Now, SLAC scientists have developed a method to produce brighter X-rays that are more stable and …
