Talk SwissFEL – recent advances and future opportunities SwissFEL – Recent Advances and Future Opportunities

Speaker

Prof. Johan Chang (University of Zurich)

Description

Structure determination is an important activity spanning across disciplines such biology, chemistry and physics. X-ray diffraction is among the powerful techniques used for structure refinements. The emergence of hard x-ray free electron laser facilities including the SwissFEL has open entirely new opportunities. This talk will discuss how synchronization for free electron laser pulses with spikes of extreme sample environment can be used to study matter under extreme conditions. Established results along with potential future experimental work will be presented. The possibility of implementing such experimental activity at the SwissFEL is another topic of this talk.
