Research on Advanced Radiation Sources at FZD

At FZD the combination of ultra-short high-power Lasers and ultra-brilliant electron accelerators allows to provide unique sources for ions, electrons and photons. In combination, these sources will allow to probe the structure of matter in a new way, from applications in material science, the detection of strong magnetic fields, as a tool to study short-time-scale plasma dynamics and as a possible future source for medical applications. This talk presents some of the recent results and developments at FZD concerning new targets for ion beams, short-pulse x-ray sources and intense electron beams.
