New Magnet Mapping Laboratory

Today we began installing the equipment for a new magnet mapping laboratory, associated with the WaterFEL free electron laser laboratory. Over the next year, we will be collaborating with scientists from the private sector and from the HFML-FELIX facility in the Netherlands to build two new undulatory (mid- and far-IR) for the WaterFEL infrared free electron laser.
