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, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Rasmus Ischebeck, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Mike Seidel, Christoph Peter Hauri, Paul Beaud, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Eugenio Ferrari

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 ...

The SwissFEL soft X-ray free-electron laser beamline: Athos

Christopher Alexander Arrell, Christoph Bostedt, Rasmus Ischebeck, Eugenio Ferrari, Thomas Schmidt, Thomas Schietinger, Sven Reiche, Paolo Craievich

The SwissFEL soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) beamline Athos will be ready for user operation in 2021. Its design includes a novel layout of alternating magnetic chicanes and short undulator segments. Together with the APPLE X architecture of undulator ...

Ultrafast Structural Dynamics along the beta - gamma Phase Transition Path in MnAs

Eugenio Ferrari

We investigate the orthorhombic distortion and the structural dynamics of epitaxial MnAs layers on GaAs(001) using static and time-resolved x-ray diffraction. Laser-induced intensity oscillations of Bragg reflections allow us to identify the optical phonon ...

The ACHIP experimental chambers at the Paul Scherrer Institut

Leonid Rivkin, Rasmus Ischebeck, Eugenio Ferrari, Sven Reiche, Christian David

The Accelerator on a Chip International Program (ACHIP) is an international collaboration, funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, with the goal of demonstrating that laser-driven accelerator can be integrated on a chip to fully build an accelerat ...

Symmetry breakdown of electron emission in extreme ultraviolet photoionization of argon

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Eugenio Ferrari, David Ferdinand Scholz

Short wavelength free-electron lasers (FELs), providing pulses of ultrahigh photon intensity, have revolutionized spectroscopy on ionic targets. Their exceptional photon flux enables multiple photon absorptions within a single femtosecond pulse, which in t ...

Generation and measurement of sub-micrometer relativistic electron beams

Rasmus Ischebeck, Eugenio Ferrari, Christian David

The generation of low-emittance electron beams has received significant interest in recent years. Driven by the requirements of X-ray-free electron lasers, the emittance of photocathode injectors has been reduced significantly, with corresponding increase ...

Dynamics of the MnAs alpha/beta-Striped Microstructure and of the Fe Magnetization Reversal in Fe/MnAs/GaAs(001): An Optical-Laser Pump-Free-Electron-Laser Probe Scattering Experiment

Eugenio Ferrari

It was shown recently that the Fe magnetization reversal in the Fe/MnAs/GaAs(001) epitaxial system, attained by temperature control of the regular stripe pattern of the MnAs alpha- and beta-phases, can also be driven by an ultrashort optical laser pulse. I ...

Polarization Characterization of Soft X-Ray Radiation at FERMI FEL-2

Eugenio Ferrari, David Gauthier

The control of polarization state in soft and hard X- ray light is of crucial interest to probe structural and symmetry properties of matter. Thanks to their Apple-II type undulators, the FERMI-Free Electron Lasers are able to provide elliptical, circular ...

Using the optical-klystron effect to increase and measure the intrinsic beam energy spread in free-electron-laser facilities

Eugenio Ferrari, Thomas Schietinger, Sven Reiche

We present a setup based on the optical klystron concept, consisting of two undulator modules separated by a magnetic chicane, that addresses two issues in free-electron-laser (FEL) facilities. On the one hand, it allows increasing the intrinsic energy spr ...
