1. 1. Prospects for a Free Electron Laser at the FemtoMAX Beamline

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Johan Holmberg; [2024]
   Keywords : Free Electron Lasers; FEL; synchrotron radiation; MAX IV; FemtoMAX; GENESIS 1.3; XFEL; X-rays; soft X-rays; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : A Free Electron Laser (FEL), is a device that generates extremely coherent and brilliant radiation using electrons accelerated to relativistic velocities in a particle accelerator. The process utilises similar equipment to what is used at a synchrotron source like MAX IV, but in addition there is an interaction between the relativistic electron beam and the generated radiation to achieve an exponential growth in radiation intensity.

3. 2. Effects of Ultrafast Ionization in X-ray Coherent Diffraction Imaging

   University essay from KTH/Kemi

   Author : Arezu Sehati; [2023]
   Keywords : Coherent Diffraction Imaging; X-ray Free Electron Lasers; Refractive index; Core-shell nanoclusters; Rare-gas ionization; Koherent Diffraktionsavbildning; Röntgenfrielektronlaser; Brytningsindex; Core-shell-nanokluster; Ädelgasjonisering;

   Abstract : Koherent Diffraktionsavbildning med en intensiv röntgenpuls från en Frielektronlaser har möjliggjort strukturbestämning av isolerade nanopartiklar som inte går att studera med hjälp av konventionella metoder, så som elektronmikroskopi. En mycket kort pulslängd tillsammans med spridningssignalens beroende av objektets elektroniska struktur medför också möjligheten att studera inducerad ultrasnabb dynamik med denna teknik. READ MORE

4. 3. A Machine Learning Approach on Analysis of Emission Spectra for Application in XFEL Experiments

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

   Author : Harald Agelii; [2023]
   Keywords : Structural biology; Machine learning; Neural networks; emission spectrum; XFEL; X-ray free electron laser; SFX; Serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography; Proteins; Diagnostics;

   Abstract : In this thesis we investigate two potential applications of machine learning in the context of X-ray imaging and spectroscopy of biological samples, particularly such using X-ray free electron lasers (XFEL). We first investigate the possibility of using an emission spectrum, recorded from a sample after being probed by an incident X-ray, as a diagnostic tool. READ MORE

5. 4. Generation of attosecond X-ray pulses in free-electron lasers using electron energy modulation and undulator tapering

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/FREIA

   Author : Karl-Fredrik Boholm Kylesten; [2023]
   Keywords : attosecond; free-electron laser; XFEL; self-amplified spontaneous emission; SASE; tapering; energy modulation;

   Abstract : Free-electron lasers (FELs) are among the world's most intense artificial artificial sources of coherent light and are tunable to various wavelengths, including the X-ray spectrum. X-ray FELs (XFELs) are extremely useful for diffraction experiments to study molecules, materials, and quantum systems. READ MORE

6. 5. Feasibility Study of X-ray Free Electron Lasers in Fourth Generation Storage Rings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Synkrotronljusfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/MAX IV-laboratoriet

   Author : Jordis Hansen; [2023]
   Keywords : XFEL; Storage Ring; Synchrotron Radiation; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : This thesis studies the feasibility of a cavity based X-ray free electron laser in a fourth generation storage ring. The cavity design allows for modulation of the electron beam over several passes through the undulator. Simulations based on the PETRA IV facility are done to create the photon flux spectrum of a light pulse produced by an undulator. READ MORE
