Synchrotron Experiment (extra footage)

I like how scientists call a very fancy and super complex tool a "wiggler"

Welcome to the Hotel Synchrotron, where they always have room...just have to shuffle the guests around a bit.

Project Malus You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave...

Warm smell of colliders, rising up from the air. // Up ahead in the distance, I saw some synchotron light.

[@adizmal]

Lol, his "USER" key chain/necklace thing. PHIL HAS THE SYNCHROTRON POWER NOW!

[@valentinaniere3775]

Just discovered Primus, thanks Professor Phil Moriarty !

[@divenutslincoln]

Just finished a 4 day beam time at diamond. Yeah those 24 hr+ plus shifts are reaaall 😬😬

[@subinmdr]

We also have these wonderful things called "wrigglers"

[@Yggdrasil343]

The Diamond Light Source's best quality? Its wiggles.

[@cesdror]

Feel like you missed an opportunity with the thumbnails for these two videos.

[@kentvandervelden]

Exactly!

[@davidduffy9806]

Prof Moriarty should be directed to "Go Fund Me" and buy his very own Synchrotron. My Dad has two Synchrotrons in the garage they stand next to his Large Hadron Collider, they are cheaper than a house in London, or Sydney.

Very interesting inside, thank you! The obvious question is why booking synchrotron access in a continuous lump of time? Wouldn't be better to have 14 days of synchrotron time spread over a period of, let's say 2 months, instead of 14 days of synchrotron in 2 weeks?

[@bigbenhebdomadarius6252]

If you have to travel any distance to get there, the spread-out booking would quickly become inefficient and annoying.. If you could live there for two months and still get work done back home during that time, that would be a different story.

+5pts for the primus t-shirt :))

Wiggler. Heart of a Free Electron Laser...

[@unvergebeneid]

Wouldn't the way to get different frequencies on a particular beamline be done in terms of changing the Δp of the electrons, i.e. the rate of change of the momentum of the particles? How is that achieved with so many beamlines running in parallel without one beamline influencing the next one?

[@TheDetonadoBR]

because it's a little beam made of few electrons not a thick electric wire

[@Frostlander]

Primus is my favorite band. Why does this happen?

[@dipi71]

Science is a cruel mistress indeed!
