Sharper, smaller, brighter: Improved Focusing at PX III after the SLS 2.0 Upgrade
The first experimental results from the upgraded X06DA-PX III beamline after the SLS 2.0 upgrade show measurable improvements of the focusing capabilities. Comparing the focus size before the SLS upgrade and afterwards, the benefit of the new storage ring becomes immediately evident.
Zeitmessung auf Quantenebene
An der Synchrotron Lichtquelle Schweiz SLS haben Physiker einen Weg gefunden, die Zeit zu messen, die während eines Quantenereignisses verstreicht. Sie entdeckten, dass diese von der Symmetrie des Materials abhängt.
