32. Novel opportunities for physical chemistry: the Low Density Matter beamline at the FERMI Free Electron Laser

Dr Carlo Callegari (Elettra - Sincrotrone Trieste S.C.p.A.)

Free-Electron-Lasers (FELs) in the EUV and XUV photon energy range have greatly expanded the feasibility range of experiments at the crossroad between tabletop lasers and synchrotrons, and promise the ultimate achievement of “molecular movies” capturing in particular the early steps of photochemical processes. The FERMI facility in Trieste (Italy) is unique in the FELs landscape because it...

14. The FinEstBeAMS beamline at MAX IV laboratory

Dr Rainer Pärna (MAX IV Laboratory, Lund University and Institute of Physics, University of Tartu)

The FinEstBeAMS is a materials and atmospheric science beamline located at the 1.5 GeV storage ring of the MAX IV Laboratory, Sweden. FinEstBeAMS received the first light on 24th of November 2017. Currently beamline is under commissioning, we expect to start regular user operation 2018.

The beamline covers a wide photon energy range, 4.3–1000 eV, and gives an opportunity to probe core...

38. Development of a sensitive photoionization mass spectrometry apparatus for high-pressure gas-phase reactions

Dr Leonid Sheps (Sandia National Lab)

Talk

Synchrotron-based tunable VUV photoionization mass spectrometry (PIMS) is a powerful analytical technique for nearly universal, sensitive, isomer-selective detection of chemical species. VUV-PIMS is routinely used to probe complex gas-phase and multiphase processes in a variety of sources such as flames, flow reactors, pyrolysis nozzles, and catalytic reactors. However, it has seen limited...

56. How Synchrotron Measurements Help Advance Attosecond Science

Dr Fabian Holzmeier (Politecnico di Milano)

Talk

VUV and soft X-ray synchrotron beamlines dedicated to molecular photoionization experiments have recently received strong competitors in the form of new advanced light sources, such as free electron lasers (FELs) and table-top high harmonic generation (HHG) laser systems. While the former provide access to significantly higher light intensities and to a time-resolution of tens of femtosecond,...
