SYLX: Symposium Laser Driven X-Rays: Generation and Application

SYLX 1: Symposium Laser Driven X-Rays: Generation and Application

Friday, March 6, 2026, 14:30–16:30, RW 1

The ongoing development of laser technology opens up promising prospects for the demonstration of X-ray sources with a power and brilliance that significantly exceed current electronic sources. Using ultrashort pulse laser radiation with relativistic intensities, hot electrons are generated in liquid metal targets, which lead to the emission of X-rays. The creation of brilliant X-ray sources in tabletop size opens up the possibility of widespread use and significant innovations in various areas of application, such as high-resolution X-ray imaging, X-ray diffractometry, and X-ray spectroscopy. In the symposium, partners from the ongoing BMFTR-funded XProLas project will report on the current status.
