Very cool, but what goggles do we use?

Another nail in Fermilab's coffin. Sigh. :cryyy:

Goggles a brick tied over your eyes maybe :wtf:

As for laser goggle, I don't think anyone would be allowed in the laser room - it's the vacuum and high voltage being the prime requirements - it would more likely being a combinations of several X-ray FELs as FEL tend to be even more efficient in term of wall plug to optical power.

I wouldn't want to be near the reflection of X-ray laser emission, it's even more lethal than laser of UV Genocide wavelength (270 - 210 nm). X-ray wavelength from FEL can be from 10nm soft X-rays to 0.015nm hard X-rays.

* FEL - free-electron laser - the equipment which generates laser light by the forced movements of electons along the wiggler magnets.

Concrete of 5 meter thick goggles.

:crackup: LMAO Don't forget to mount the wheel onto the concrete goggle to hold it up!
