Time Resolved X-Ray Spectroscopy using Laser Wakefied Accelerators

激光尾迹场加速器(LWFA)产生的飞秒脉冲具有非常宽的光谱，这使它们成为L超快X射线吸收谱(XAS)研究快速演化系统的理想选择。该项目将探索使用LWFA光源在高能量密度物理实验和现有激光系统(如英国的Gemini和科罗拉多州的Aleph)的工业应用中研究XAS，并为英国新的EPAC设施开发新的XAS平台。

Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) produce femtosecond duration x-ray pulses with a very broad spectrum, making them ideal for l ultrafast X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) studies on systems which evolve rapidly. This project will explore the use of LWFA sources to investigate XAS in both high energy density physics experiments and industrial applications on existing laser Systems (such as Gemini in the U.K and Aleph in Colorado) as well as developing a new XAS platform for the UK's new EPAC facility.
