Strategic objectives
Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste has developed the seeded FERMI light source and, after the initial commissioning phase, opened its beamlines to the international users community. FERMI offers unique reproducibility and stability of the FEL light pulse intensity, wavelength and line width and the control of their main properties, as wavelength, duration, polarization and synchronization with an external laser. It offers to the scientific community two different lasers, FEL-1, for wavelengths down to 20 nm and FEL-2, for wavelengths down to 4 nm in the first harmonic. The beamlines and experimental stations opens unique opportunities to perform ultrafast imaging experiments, soft X-ray microscopy, time-resolved spectroscopy of mesoscopic dynamics, elastic scattering of matter under extreme conditions, atomic and molecular physics, spectroscopy of the reaction intermediate products, spectroscopy of clusters and nanoparticles, processing and imaging of clusters and nanoparticles in the gas phase, TeraHertz spectroscopy, inelastic scattering from liquid and chaotic systems. The continuous upgrade programme driven by the requirements of the most prestigious international research groups and the proficuous collaboration between accelerator and beamlines scientists assure the exceptionality of FERMI in the international FEL sources landscape.Last Updated on Tuesday, 23 March 2021 14:10
