XUV interaction and warm dense matter at QUB

XUV光子与物质的相互作用是天体物理等离子体、行星科学和聚变科学中热致密物质研究的一个重要分支。这也是先进的光刻方法的关键兴趣，将使用~13.5nm XUV光子来处理下一代电子产品。我们建议开展XUV辐射与物质的相互作用研究，包括热致密物质，碰撞吸收实验，XUV辐射的烧蚀和物质新状态的产生。我们将在QUB的TARANIS激光设备上进行大量工作，但也将使用我们的外部设备，如新的XUV和x射线自由电子激光器以及更大的激光设备。在提案中，我们对先前工作的讨论以TARANIS为中心，因为这是最相关的，并说明了该系统的潜力。在实验的讨论中，我们将集中在几个需要很长时间才能完成和设置的特定实验的细节上，因为这说明了我们将能够进行的复杂实验的类型。

The interaction of XUV photons with matter is an important sub area of warm dense matter studies of key interest in astrophysical plasmas, planetary sciences and fusion sciences. It is also of key interest in advanced lithography methods that will use ~13.5nm XUV photons for processing of next generation electronics. We propose to carry out a study of the interaction of XUV radiation with matter including warm dense matter, with experiments on collisional absorption, ablation with XUV radiation and creation of novel states of matter. We will base the work in large measure at the TARANIS laser facility at QUB but will also use our access to external facilities such as the new XUV and X-ray free electron lasers as well as larger laser facilities.In the proposal our discussion of previous work is centred around TARANIS as this is most relevant and illustrates the potential of the system. In the discussion of experiments, we concentrate on details of a couple of particular experiments that will take a long time to perform and set up as this illustrates the type of complex experiment we will be able to field.
