How low does the emittance of a storage ring have to be to make a fully coherent x-ray source?
Transverse or spatial coherence is one of the key metrics used to characterize the x-ray beams generated by 4th generation light sources.
New undulators developed and tested at CHESS
The CHESS Compact Undulator (CCU) program started several years ago with the development of Delta undulators for an ERL, culminating with performance tests of new undulators and x-ray optics this past Fall at A2.
MacCHESS/CHESS on screen
A video spotlighting MacCHESS, and some other work at CHESS, has been produced by WebsEdge.
J. Y. Peter Ko: Hands-on experience makes an x-ray optics expert
While he has never taken any formal courses in "synchrotron beamline science," Jun Young Peter Ko has worked on projects over the past 10 years that were clearly moving him towards expertise in the field.
Nanoparticle networks' design enhanced by theory
For close to two decades, Cornell scientists have developed processes for using polymers to self-assemble inorganic nanoparticles into porous structures that could revolutionize electronics, energy and more.
Novel white beam position monitor with a smart camera employing diamond luminescence
At CHESS, we use almost exclusively video based beam position monitors (VBPMs) to monitor and characterize the white beam coming down each beam line[1-3].
Xraise team goes to Washington: AAAS Conference
The Xraise outreach team at CLASSE along with outreach staff from the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers and the Boyce Thompson Institute traveled to Washington DC to participate in a workshop addressing the new Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
