M1 Fundamental Physics @UnivParisSaclay - 2023 @CERN Summer Student

Particle accelerators are mostly known for the enormous colliders that are made to study subatomic particles. However, accelerators are also valuable light sources. In this very first #Physics thread of mine, we will see what are Synchrotron light sources, and their applications.

Le Prix Jean-Louis Laclare 2023 a été décerné par la Division Accélérateurs de la Société Française de Physique à Eléonore Roussel, CR CNRS au PhLAM.
Toutes nos félicitations à Eléonore et un grand merci à elle et à ses collaborateurs pour le rayonnement apporté à nos structures

@MissNeutrino Chaotic evil and I ain't complaining. Nonlinear physics are fun !

@ShotaKARIN10 ありがとう！😁

[Matis @Matiphys]

@gregorkrzmanc For sure ! Congrats 😁

[Matis @Matiphys]

So glad to announce that I got accepted as a #CERN Summer Student this year ! Can't wait to go there 😁

[Matis @Matiphys]

I've been thinking about it again and again for 2 days already, I'm so excited to know more about the project I've been assigned to and meet so many interesting people ! Feels like a dream becoming true already 😆

@apausa We will all learn a lot, and I'm sure you will fit perfectly your project, that's why you were chosen after all :)

[Matis @Matiphys]

@apausa If we had*

[Matis @Matiphys]

@apausa Oh ! Since you seem like being in IT I thought you were part of the OpenLab programme, that's why 😂
I don't really know either myself, I guess all we have to do is to wait for a message from our supervisor ? I guess we had to do anything it would have been written on the mail

[Matis @Matiphys]

@MissNeutrino Congratulations! 😁

[Matis @Matiphys]

That is all for my first thread ! Feel free to correct or ask me a question if anything seems unclear, I'll try my best to answer with the knowledge I have.
Hope you liked it ! :)

These linear synchrotron light sources are also called free-electron lasers (FEL) as the emitted light pulses in a very similar way as a laser does. Finally, small LINACs are used for curing cancer, as modern radiotherapy techniques use them to produce X-rays !
