Technology Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) was first tested by scientists

A group of physicists from the United States prepared the final results of the first experiments, technology Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), which is a free electron laser, mounted in the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Her and other similar powerful X-ray lasers are used for the imaging of molecules, viruses, strands of DNA and other samples. It should be noted that scientists are facing a very serious problem. So, faced with the task to collect all the information about the sample in a short period of time until an extremely powerful X-ray pulse did not destroy.

The first series of experiments was to study the effects of radiation on atoms of neon. In the experiments, the scientists varied the parameters of the pulse, thus able to ... Sometimes physicists received and hollow atoms that have lost both the inner electrons.
