Nanometer-scale characterization of laser-driven compression, shocks, and phase transitions, by x-ray scattering using free electron lasers [PDF]
We study the feasibility of using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) as a new experimental diagnostic for intense laser-solid interactions. By using X-ray pulses from a hard X-ray free electron laser, we can simultaneously achieve nanometer and ...

Structural enzymology using X-ray free electron lasers [PDF]
Mix-and-inject serial crystallography (MISC) is a technique designed to image enzyme catalyzed reactions in which small protein crystals are mixed with a substrate just prior to being probed by an X-ray pulse. This approach offers several advantages over flow cell studies. It provides (i) room temperature structures at near atomic resolution, (ii) time

X-Ray sum frequency generation; direct imaging of ultrafast electron dynamics [PDF]
X-ray diffraction from molecules in the ground state produces an image of their charge density, and time-resolved X-ray diffraction can thus monitor the motion of the nuclei.

X-ray optics made of single-crystal materials are widely used at most of the X-ray sources due to the outstanding properties. The main drawback of such optics—the diffraction losses, also known as glitches of intensity in the energy spectrum of the ...

UV-photochemistry of the biologically relevant thiol group and the disulfide bond: Evolution of early photoproducts from picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the sulfur K-Edge [PDF]
We report on the UV-induced photochemistry of the biologically relevant sulfur-containing thiol group and the disulfide bond in solution using picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the sulfur K-edge.

X-ray harmonic comb from relativistic electron spikes [PDF]
X-ray devices are far superior to optical ones for providing nanometre spatial and attosecond temporal resolutions. Such resolution is indispensable in biology, medicine, physics, material sciences, and their applications.

Suppressing Diffraction-Related Intensity Losses in Transmissive Single-Crystal X-ray Optics
The highest-quality X-ray optics can be made of single-crystal materials such as silicon, germanium, or, even better, diamond. Unfortunately, such X-ray optics have one drawback: diffraction losses or the “glitch effect”.

The process of bound-free pair production of electrons and positrons in combined laser and Coulomb fields is investigated. It is assumed that an ion collides at relativistic speed with an intense x-ray laser beam of linear polarization.
