Laser Breaks Neutron Beam Record

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., July 12, 2012 — The largest neutron beam ever achieved using a short-pulse laser could lead to more advanced materials measurement. Neutron beams typically are made with particle accelerators or nuclear reactors and are commonly used in a variety of scientific research, particularly in advanced materials science. “Neutrons are a unique probe with many scientific applications,” said Frank Merrill of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s (LANL) neutron science and technology group. “Neutrons are used to study fundamental properties of the universe, advanced materials and have...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
