Linear accelerator could improve X-rays, particle colliders

Scientists at the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education have been working for the last decade on research and development of an Energy Recovery Linac as a new X-ray light source. The research has led to the creation of a new particle accelerator, which offers a wide range of applications beyond the ERL.
