The particle accelerator known as the Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) -- now in planning stages at Cornell -- would open doors to new research in fields from materials science to biochemistry, said Georg Hoffstaetter in a lecture to faculty and staff in Cornell's Research Division, July 31. But if the ERL's scientific scope is wide, he said, its strength would be in shedding new light on the very, very small.
