On their slalom course through a periodic arrangement of magnets (undulator), the electron bunches emit radiation (photons) of a fixed wavelength. The photon beam travels in a straight line along the direction of the electron beam and overlaps with the electron bunch, causing it to take on the regular structure of the X-rays. A series of individual "discs" of charge is formed which radiate in synchrony, thus generating an intense laser beam. (Courtesy DESY Hamburg) |

There are several "Floral Nature Reserve - Late Mowing" zones at CERN Meyrin. The blossoms of a rare and a not so rare type of wild orchid are currently in flower. The rare one is the bee orchid (Ophrys Apifera) which is a protected perennial. They are very unusual and in some years can appear in great numbers and then sometimes only reappear after a decade. They live in a symbiotic relationship with a soil-dwelling fungus. Its name stems from the fact that its brown, furry lip resembles and smells like a female bee, a mimicry used to attract drones to aid in pollination. The much more distributed species is the pyramidal orchid (Anacamptis Pyramidalis), which due to its size and its bright pink colour is already visible when you pass by in your car. (Credit CERN) |
