SLAC is uniquely equipped to study viruses like SARS-CoV-2; in fact, we’ve been doing it for decades. This news collection gathers the latest information on COVID-19 research at SLAC.
An upgrade to SLAC’s renowned Linac Coherent Light Source will allow it to deliver X-ray laser beams that are 10,000 times brighter with pulses that arrive up to a million times per second.
Now, we’re turning up the energy. The high-energy upgrade to LCLS will extend its ultrafast megahertz capability into the “hard,” or high-energy, X-ray regime.
