We make the invisible visible
A big milestone was reached for the MAX IV Linear Accelerator end of May. The electron bunches accelerated in the linac was compressed to a time duration below 100 femtoseconds (fs). That means that they were shorter than 1*10^-13s. In fact, we could measure a pulse duration as low as 65 fs FWHM. The
Sara Thorin drömde redan som barn om att bli fysiker. Som projektledare för en av MAX IV-laboratoriets mest centrala delar – linjäracceleratorn – har hon ett stort ansvar för att få världens bästa synkrotronljusanläggning att leverera ljus av exakt rätt kvalitet för att avslöja hemligheterna i ett hittills okänt mikrokosmos. Tänk på något riktigt snabbt!
As a child, Sara Thorin dreamed of becoming a physicist. As a project leader for one of MAX IV Laboratory’s most central components – the linear accelerator – she has a great responsibility for ensuring the world’s best synchrotron radiation facility delivers light of exactly the right quality to reveal the secrets of a hitherto
