Talbot X-ray interferometry experiment at LCLS
In November 2023, the University of Valladolid participated in its first experiment in the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the Stanford Laboratory for Accelerator Physics (SLAC, California, USA), through members of our group. LCLS is a type of light source known as a Free Electron Laser (FEL). It works by accelerating electrons to velocities close to the speed of light along a 3.2 km long linear accelerator. Once the electrons have reached these high velocities, they get deflected by…
