Abstract: Very recently the first hard X-ray laser started operation at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Stanford, USA. First experiments will start in a month. We look at the science and technology of these 'free- electron' lasers, and some of the exciting research enabled by these intense, ultrafast, X-ray lasers. Speaker's profile: Srinivas Krishnagopal did his PhD in accelerator physics from Cornell University in 1991, and worked on free-electron lasers at the Lawrence Berkeley Accelerator Laboratory till 1993. From then till 2008 he was at the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology; he is presently at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, and concurrently, at the Centre for Excellence in Basic Sciences. His interests include linear accelerators, free-electron lasers, and plasma-based accelerators. He is a recipient of the NS Satyamurthy Young Scientist Award of the Indian Physics Association, and the Outstanding Research Investigator Award of the Science Research Council of DAE. |
