Manipulating the atomic and electronic structure of matter with strong terahertz (THz) fields
while probing the response with ultrafast pulses at x-ray free electron lasers (FELs) has …

Recent studies of the performance of radio-frequency (rf) copper cavities operated at
cryogenic temperatures have shown a dramatic increase in the maximum achievable …

Using an X-ray laser, we investigated the crystal structure of ice formed by homogeneous ice
nucleation in deeply supercooled water nanodrops (r≈ 10 nm) at∼ 225 K. The nanodrops …

Reducing the intrinsic emittance of photocathodes is one of the most promising routes to
improving the brightness of electron sources. However, when emittance growth occurs …

Photoexcited molecules convert light into chemical and mechanical energy through changes
in electronic and nuclear structure that take place on femtosecond timescales. Gas phase …

Shock wave trains in liquid jets were previously generated only by ablation with
femtosecond x-ray lasers. Here we show that shock trains in water microjets can be also …
