Integrating table-top laser, seeded-free electron laser and storage ring sources for time resolved spectroscopies

AREA DI RICERCA and ELETTRA-SINCROTRONE TRIESTE ITALY

DECEMBER 1st and 2nd, 2014

A novel users’ facility for the nano-sciences providing ultrashort photon pulses (fs-ps) from THz to the X-ray energies and instrumentation from CDI to SP-ARPES and XMCD supported by advanced sample preparation and characterization at the nanoscale is presented as a joint effort of the NFFA-demonstrator and T-ReX groups at Elettra and IOM-CNR. The expansion of the NFFA Demonstrator facility programme will integrate with the T-Rex and FERMI FEL facilities to offer table-top fs-laser beamlines and pump-probe set-ups for user experiments.

The workshop will discuss the development of facilities to investigate the electronic structure dynamics in nanomaterials and/or low-dimensional matter. Research goals shall be discussed as well as technologies adapted to provide efficient and high-users-turnover laser-based beamlines capable to supporting an effective users program integrating and expanding the offer of the FEL sources and of the pump-probe SR beamline experiments.

The workshop is open to interested scientists and engineers as well as all prospective users and students. No fee.
