Ultra-Fast Science Succeeds at
SLAC
By Heather Rock Woods
The Sub-Picosecond Pulse Source (SPPS) collaboration has
published data from the first experiments ever using a linear
accelerator-based femtosecond x-ray source, and has developed an
important tool for ultra-fast science. SPPS makes the world’s shortest
bunches of electrons in the SLAC linear accelerator and turns them into
very bright pulses of x-ray light one thousand times shorter than those
made in synchrotron rings like SPEAR3.
