Special Delivery: First Shipment of Magnetic Devices for Next-Gen X-Ray Laser

Photo - Workers at KTC, a company in Buffalo, N.Y., prepare the first powerful magnetic devices known as soft X-ray undulator segments for the cross-country journey to SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, Calif. Berkeley Lab is overseeing the development and delivery of these segments for use in the LCLS-II project, an upgrade to SLAC’s X-ray laser. (Credit: Keller Technology Corp./KTC)

Simulations Show Swirling Rings, Whirlpool-Like Structure in Subatomic ‘Soup’

Image - This hydrodynamic simulation shows the flow patterns, or “vorticity distribution,” from a smoke ring-like swirling fluid around the beam direction of two colliding heavy ions. The simulation provides new insight about the properties of a superhot fluid known as the quark-gluon plasma. (Credit: Berkeley Lab)
