Eastern European X-ray Silver Spectrometer

Researchers at the European XFEL have developed a new device for X-ray measurements at high photon energies—a so-called Laue spectrometer. It enables X-ray light with photon energies of more than 15 kiloelectronvolts to be detected with improved efficiency and highest precision. EXRS is a biennial conference series inaugurated in 1984 in Goteborg. Ever since it has become a traditional meeting for scientists from around the world working in X-Ray Spectrometry or using one of its numerous applications: X-ray fluorescence, Particle Induced X-ray Emission, Electron Probe. The FXE instrument enables ultrafast pump–probe experiments on ultrafast timescales—below 100 femtoseconds—for a broad scientific user community. The instrument comprises two independent X-ray emission spectrometers that can be used simultaneously with a large-area 1 Megapixel detector for. A multipurpose imaging x-ray crystal spectrometer is developed for the high energy density instrument of the European X-ray Free Electron Laser. The spectrometer is designed to measure x rays in the energy range of 4–10 keV, providing high-resolution, spatially resolved spectral measurements. Contrary to regular spectrometer the new Laue spectrometer is diffracting the X-ray beams (red arrows) by atomic layers perpendicular to the. [PDF]

Which country has the most fiber optic cables

Fibre-optic Link Around the Globe (FLAG) is a 28,000-kilometre-long (17,398 ; 15,119 ) mostly- that connects the,,, and many places in between. The cable is operated by, a subsidiary of. The system runs from the eastern coast of to Japan. Its Europe–Asia segment was the fourth longest cable in the world in 2008. [PDF]
