Profiling X-ray Free-electron Laser Pulses

With their ultra short X-ray flashes, free-electron lasers offer the opportunity to film chemical reactions or atoms in motion. However, for this super slow motion the arrival time and the temporal profile of the pulses must be precisely known. An international team of scientists has now developed a measurement technique that provides complete temporal characterization of individual FEL (free-electron laser) pulses at DESY´s soft-X-ray free-electron laser FLASH. moreNov. 19, 2012
