Das Vakuum zum Kochen bringen
Eine Gruppe von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern will Licht in einen unerforschten Bereich der Physik bringen – mit Hilfe eines hochenergetischen Elektronenstrahls, eines Lasers, einer Vakuumkammer und verschiedener Detektoren. Federico Meloni, Wissenschaftler am deutschen Forschungszentrum DESY und seit Dezember Professor an der Universität Bern, erklärt, was es mit dem «LUXE»-Experiment auf sich hat.
