X-ray optics research for free electron lasers: study of material damage under extreme fluxes
Free electron lasers operating in the 0.1–1.5 nm wavelength range have been proposed for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (USA) and DESY (Germany). The unprecedented brightness and associated fluence (up to 30 J cm ) predicted for pulses o300 fs pose new challenges for optical components. A criterion for optical component design is required, implying an understanding of X-ray—material int...
متن کاملX-ray free-electron lasers
In a free-electron laser (FEL) the lasing medium is a high-energy beam of electrons flying with relativistic speed through a periodic magnetic field. The interaction between the synchrotron radiation that is produced and the electrons in the beam induces a periodic bunching of the electrons, greatly increasing the intensity of radiation produced at a particular wavelength. Depending only on a p...
متن کاملSingle-shot spectrometry for x-ray free-electron lasers.
An experimental scheme to realize single-shot spectrometry for the diagnostics of x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) is presented. The combination of an ultraprecisely figured mirror and a perfect crystal form a simple, high-precision spectrometer that can cover an energy range from a few eV to a hundred eV with high resolution. The application of the spectrometer to determine XFEL pulse widths...
متن کاملToward Single-particle Bioimaging Using X-ray Free-electron Lasers
In this paper we review the recent progress toward single-particle imaging of biological molecules at x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) facilities. We describe the progression from biological imaging at synchrotrons to imaging at XFELs, discuss recent successes, and point out specific challenges associated with imaging at XFEL facilities.
متن کاملUndulators for Short Pulse X-Ray Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission-Free Electron Lasers
We review the synchrotron type radiation sources with focus on undulator and freeelectron laser (FEL) schemes, aimed on working in X-ray range and ultra-short time interval. Main FEL schemes, useful for generation of high frequency radiation, extending to X-rays, are presented. High harmonic generation is explored. The advantages and disadvantages of single pass and of multipass designs are dis...
