Laser ion acceleration uses intense laser flashes to heat electrons of a solid to enormous temperatures and propel these charged particles to extreme speeds. These have recently gained traction for ...
In massive particle accelerators, sub-atomic particles (like electrons) are sped up to super-high speeds comparable to the speed of light towards a target surface. The collision of accelerated ...
Researchers have successfully combined a table-top laser-based extreme high-order harmonic source for short-pulse soft-X-ray absorption spectroscopy in the water window with novel flatjet technology.
Laser beam incident on the structured droplet sets up plasma waves (blue pulses) that accelerates electrons (green solid spheres) to megaelectronvolt energies. In massive particle accelerators, ...
Carbon and oxygen have a high absorption contrast. This is used to study biological and mineral samples via the “water window“, which has a spectral range between λ = 2.3 – 4.4 nm. Transmission X-ray ...
High harmonics: a NIR pulse (red) is focussed, and high harmonics are generated in a gas jet that is placed before or behind the NIR focus. The generated XUV light (violet) has a size and divergence ...
A laser plasma accelerator uses a laser pulse (red and blue disks, extreme right) to create a wake through a plasma, creating strong electric fields. Like surfers on a wave, free electrons ride the ...
