Berkeley National Lab Will Make 100 Times Brighter Beams at Key Energies, | NextBigFuture.com

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the DOE are upgrading the Advanced Light Source (ALS). The combination of the accumulator ring and upgraded main storage ring will enable at least 100 times brighter beams at key energies, and will make the beams more laser-like by enhancing a property known as coherence. This will make it possible to reveal nanometer-scale features of samples, and to observe chemical processes and the function of materials in real time. They will start to start building a new inner electron storage ring. It will be an accumulator ring. This inner ring will feed the upgraded facility’s
