Explore the world's strongest X-ray laser: 1 billion times brighter than the earth's light source

In the experiment, scientists focused X-rays on a small spot that was 30 times thinner than human hair, and heated the metal foil to 2 million degrees Celsius in 1 trillionth of a second.

Beijing time, January 30, according to foreign media reports, the National Accelerator Laboratory recently used the world's most powerful X-ray laser-linear accelerator coherent light source laser to reproduce the strong pressure and high temperature inside the star. The laser energy of this kind of laser burst can exceed the total annual power generation of a small country.

In the experiment, scientists focused X-rays on a small spot that was 30 times thinner than human hair, and heated the metal foil to 2 million degrees Celsius in 1 trillionth of a second. The metal is melted in such a short period of time, and the extremely high temperature and high pressure state it produces usually only appears inside the star.

Dr. Sam Wenke, a scientist from the Department of Physics, University of Oxford, UK, and others participated in the linear accelerator coherent light source laser experiment. Dr. Wenke said, "If we want to understand the situation inside the existing stars and the center of giant planets inside and outside our solar system, it is very important to make high-temperature, high-density matter. The linear accelerator coherent light source laser is a magic machine. He has made major discoveries in many scientific fields, such as materials science and biology. "

The experimental results of the linear accelerator coherent light source laser were recently published in the journal Nature. The linear accelerator's coherent light source is about 2 kilometers long and can produce dense X-ray bursts with a brightness that is more than 1 billion times greater than any light source on Earth. At the peak, the energy of the light pulse is even more than the total annual power generation of some small countries.
