Ultrabeam

Abstract

The goal of the Ultrabeam program was to demonstrate the world's first gamma-ray laser using laboratory equipment. Compact gamma ray lasers can enable the development of new and more effective radiation therapies and radiation diagnostic tools for medical and materials/device inspection applications. This unique X-ray laser technology could also eventually enable the development of compact, laboratory-scale high-brightness coherent sources for 3-D molecular scale imaging of living cells and debris-free advanced lithography.
