Paper Abstract

Next-generation X-ray sources, based on the X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) concept, will provide highly coherent, ultrashort pulses of soft and hard X-rays with peak intensity many orders of magnitude above that of a synchrotron. These pulses will allow studies of femtosecond dynamics at nanometer resolution and with chemical selectivity. They will produce coherent-diffraction images of organic and inorganic nanostructures without the deleterious effects of radiation damage.
