The second program of Accelerating Electrons, the ALBA Synchrotron science podcast, is now available!

Cerdanyola del Vallès, 23rd February 2022

  From today you can already listen to the chapter "Los aceleradores de ALBA". Available on iVoox, Spotify, Google Podcast, Apple Podcasts and Youtube.

This time we shed light on... ALBA accelerators. Let’s talk about electrons, magnets, acceleration rings... We enter into the accelerators tunnel to discover how synchrotron light is generated. Francis Pérez, Head of the ALBA Accelerators Division, guide us during the program.

We also have another special guest: two electrons who explain us how it feels like when moving almost the speed of light.

Do you want to know how an electron accelerator works? We tell you!
