World’s most powerful X-ray laser set for massive upgrade

Scientists are set to explore the secrets of subatomic particles more deeply following a major upgrade to the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), the world’s most powerful X-ray laser, based at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

The U.S. Department of Energy has approved the LCLS-II-HE upgrade, which will enhance the laser’s brightness by 3,000 times, making it capable of producing over one petabyte of data daily.

This upgrade, costing $716 million and expected to be completed by 2030, involves adding new cryomodules to increase electron acceleration and improve the laser’s resolution for atomic-scale imaging, Live Science has reported.
