Description
Following the advances of the ultrafast laser technology, table-top XUV sources have provided novel ways to achieve real-time manipulation of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and materials, by utilizing attosecond XUV light coupled with strong laser fields in a time-resolved manner. While laser-driven, table-top attosecond X-Ray sources were successfully produced in plasma waveguides, their practical usability is limited by low photon flux due to the lack of adequate high-power, high-reprate laser technology.
ELI-ALPS, a laser-driven attosecond X-Ray user facility, would provide a wide range of state-of-the-art high-power, high-reprate laser and attosecond light sources, and experimental endstations that would serve a broad network of user communities covering fields such as ultrafast AMO Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Sciences, Biophysics and Physical Chemistry. In this talk, I will present the scientific roadmap of ELI-ALPS, and give an overview of the laser and attosceond pulse sources, and endstations to be available for users in near future.
