A compact and cost-effective hard X-ray free-electron laser driven by a high-brightness and low-energy electron beam

Majed Chergui, Leonid Rivkin, Rasmus Ischebeck, Mike Seidel, Paolo Craievich, Christoph Peter Hauri, Paul Beaud, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Eugenio Ferrari, Thomas Schmidt, Thomas Schietinger, Sven Reiche, Lukas Stingelin

We present the first lasing results of SwissFEL, a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) that recently came into operation at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. SwissFEL is a very stable, compact and cost-effective X-ray FEL facility driven by a lo ...

Experimental station Bernina at SwissFEL: condensed matter physics on femtosecond time scales investigated by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods

Christoph Peter Hauri, Paul Beaud, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Jochen Rittmann

The Bernina instrument at the SwissFEL Aramis hard X-ray free-electron laser is designed for studying ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter and material science. Ultrashort pulses from an optical laser system covering a large wavelength range can be used ...
