An international team led by U-M researchers has mapped key electron pulses, marking a critical step toward developing more compact and widely accessible X-ray sources. The new diagnostic method, tested at the U.K.’s Central Laser Facility, offers a way to measure and better understand electron beams produced by powerful laser pulses. This breakthrough could one day shrink large-scale X-ray facilities down to the size of a tabletop. Read the full article here.
