Webinar Smart*Light, table top synchrotron

Coherent, tunable X-rays of very high brightness have a multitude of applications, from screening for breast cancer to corrosion tests on ship walls. A consortium of universities, industrial partners and museums is developing a compact light source based on the collision of an intense laser beam with accelerated electrons. In collaboration with precision engineering company VDL ETG, TU/e is developing the particle accelerator and laser system.

In this webinar, Jom Luiten, professor of Coherence and Quantum Technology at TU/e and leader of the Smart*Light project, talks about design and principles of this powerful source. Applications and an overview of the partnership will be discussed.

Participation is free of charge. Register via the KIVI website. You will receive the link for participation upon registration.
