Large Scale Facilities: Synchrotron and Free Electron Laser

This lecture covers large scale facilities such as synchrotrons and free electron lasers, explaining the design and components of a free electron laser, synchrotron radiation, electron acceleration, radiation production, beam line layout, and the differences between synchrotron and standard X-ray sources. It also delves into the operation of a free electron laser, the SwissFEL facility, and ultrafast magnetization dynamics at the nanoscale, highlighting the time and length scales in magnetism and chemical processes.
