We propose to manufacture and commission the 'High performance Wide spectral range Nanoprobe' (HiWiN) using the tunable FEL electromagnetic (EM) radiation source FELIX (EPSRC National Research Facility at Nijmegen, Netherlands). HiWiN will enable area selective nanoscale (20-50 nm) illumination and/or light detection with high power and high intensity MIR-through-THz FEL radiation. HiWiN merges superior power, time signature and ultra-broad spectral tunability of the FELIX source (3 to 150 um) with selective ultra-high efficiency (20-70%) illumination/detection at the nanoscale. HiWiN has the ability to effectively concentrate the moderate to high power, spectrally selected, FEL EM radiation into a nanoscale-sized spot. This enables investigation of a wide variety of light-matter interaction phenomena (chemical reactions, molecular dissociation, nonlinear response). The project is supported by 31 UK research groups from multiple departments in 12 UK universities and the National Physics Laboratory. It is implemented by the multi-institutional collaboration lead by Lancaster University that is renowned for the development of nanoscale characterisation instrumentation that is now commercially available. HiWiN will be unique and world leading with no comparable capabilities existing in the UK or worldwide.In particular the areas of research advanced by HiWiN will be Quantum Technology and materials where HiWiN will be able to zoom into individual single quantum dots generating THz radiation, to develop digital physical fingerprints to avoid counterfeited medicines, to focus on the special states of materials including two-dimensional materials and topological insulators, and to investigate ultrafast carrier dynamics in RF and THz devices. This research directly contributes to EPSRC growth areas of "Materials for energy applications" and "RF and microwave devices". Another major HiWiN impact area is Catalysis, which is internationally recognised as a critical enabling technology. Power FELs are an essential technology in catalysis allowing spectroscopic observation and initiation of chemical transformations in catalytic processes in real time. The high spatial resolution of HiWiN will provide unprecedented detail on catalytic processes, achieving characterisation of single active catalytic sites, single nanoparticles and enabling new understanding of surface chemical processes and reaction intermediates.In the biomedical sciences, FELs and HiWiN provide the high power and high throughput essential to obtain high quality near field data in the MIR and THz region and this is particularly useful in the study of biological systems, where the functions, such as cell signalling and metabolism which can be targets for pharmaceuticals, are often controlled by submicron surface structures. It will make possible the characterisation of individual bacteria and complex microbial communities; image and characterise nanoparticles relevant to cancer therapies and Alzheimer biochemistry, and to observe nanoscale changes in biomedical monitoring. The combination of high-quality nanoscale imaging with intense THz radiation will open a new window on a detection of diseases and hydration of the cornea, and the interaction of THz radiation with living cells. The biomedical science programme of HiWiN is well aligned with EPSRC's Healthy Nation Strategy and UKRI Roadmap (Biological and biomedical imaging capability). It addresses many of UKRI's priorities supported by the Global Challenges Research Fund and Technology Touching Life programme.We expect HiWiN to become a major platform triggering research in the multiple application areas and stimulating new technological solution in advanced scientific instrumentation.

我们建议使用可调谐 FEL 电磁 (EM) 辐射源 FELIX（位于荷兰奈梅亨的 EPSRC 国家研究设施）制造和调试“高性能宽光谱范围纳米探针”(HiWiN)。 HiWiN 将通过高功率和高强度 MIR 至太赫兹 FEL 辐射实现区域选择性纳米级（20-50 nm）照明和/或光检测。 HiWiN 将 FELIX 光源（3 至 150 um）的卓越功率、时间特征和超宽光谱可调性与纳米级选择性超高效率（20-70%）照明/检测相结合。 HiWiN 能够有效地将中等到高功率、光谱选择的 FEL EM 辐射集中到纳米级大小的光斑中。这使得能够研究各种光-物质相互作用现象（化学反应、分子解离、非线性响应）。该项目得到了来自12所英国大学多个部门的31个英国研究小组和国家物理实验室的支持。它是由兰卡斯特大学领导的多机构合作实施的，兰卡斯特大学以开发纳米级表征仪器而闻名，现已商用。 HiWiN 将是独一无二的、世界领先的，在英国或世界范围内没有可比的能力。特别是 HiWiN 推进的研究领域将是量子技术和材料，其中 HiWiN 将能够放大产生太赫兹辐射的单个单量子点，开发数字物理指纹以避免假冒药物，专注于包括二维材料和拓扑绝缘体在内的材料的特殊状态，并研究超快载流子动力学 射频和太赫兹设备。这项研究直接促进了EPSRC“能源应用材料”和“射频和微波器件”领域的发展。 HiWiN 的另一个主要影响领域是催化，它是国际公认的关键使能技术。 Power FEL 是催化领域的一项重要技术，可以在催化过程中实时进行光谱观察和引发化学转化。 HiWiN 的高空间分辨率将提供有关催化过程的前所未有的细节，实现单个活性催化位点、单个纳米颗粒的表征，并实现对表面化学过程和反应中间体的新理解。在生物医学科学中，FEL 和 HiWiN 提供了获得中红外和太赫兹区域高质量近场数据所必需的高功率和高通量，这在生物系统的研究中特别有用，其中 细胞信号传导和新陈代谢等可作为药物靶标的功能通常由亚微米表面结构控制。它将使得单个细菌和复杂微生物群落的表征成为可能；对与癌症治疗和阿尔茨海默病生物化学相关的纳米颗粒进行成像和表征，并观察生物医学监测中的纳米级变化。高质量纳米级成像与强太赫兹辐射的结合将为检测角膜疾病和水合作用以及太赫兹辐射与活细胞的相互作用打开一扇新的窗口。 HiWiN 的生物医学科学计划与 EPSRC 的健康国家战略和 UKRI 路线图（生物和生物医学成像能力）非常一致。它解决了全球挑战研究基金和科技感动生活计划支持的 UKRI 的许多优先事项。我们期望 HiWiN 成为一个主要平台，引发多个应用领域的研究，并刺激先进科学仪器的新技术解决方案。
