CLIC technology for compact light sources
X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs), the latest generation of synchrotron-radiation sources, are as sought-after as they’re scarce. The X-rays emitted by the electrons inside these linear accelerators are of precious help for research and medicine, but their high cost and complexity have meant that only a few such facilities are currently in operation worldwide. CompactLight, an
