Scientists from the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences predict that the accuracy of measurements will increase and take place on the scale of nanoseconds, instead of milliseconds, as required by current standards.
In China, the newest high-energy photon source HEPS is due to open at the end of 2024. It represents one of the most powerful X-ray synchrotron radiation sources in the world, which are electron accelerators specifically designed to produce synchrotron radiation. Interesting Engineering writes about it.
This facility marks an important milestone for China and puts the country on par with countries with fourth-generation synchrotron radiation sources.
HEPS is round in shape. It was built near Beijing. Now there is a lot of activity there – scientists are fixing thousands of parts.
“The installation of the vacuum chamber system, which is essential to the preservation of the light and stability of the light, will be completed at the end of June. HEPS will revolutionize scientific research by producing high-energy X-rays, which making precise analysis of nanoscale samples easier.Compared to third-generation synchrotrons such as the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Center, which has a circumference of 432 m and is considered the most advanced synchrotron in China, HEPS will provide thousands of times higher research efficiency,” it said.
We remind you that SpaceX is building a network of spy satellites for the US intelligence agency. It is hoped that this will allow American intelligence to observe what is happening on Earth.
