21 July 2018: In honor of the 70th birthday of Prof. Jerry Hastings, SLAC will host a one-day symposium on September 24, 2018 highlighting some of his contributions to the field of X-ray physics.
Additional information and registration for attendance are available at the symposium webpage.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of Energy (DOE) has selected 84 scientists from across the nation – including 30 from DOE’s national laboratories and 54 from U.S. universities – to receive significant funding for research as part of the DOE Office of Science’s Early Career Research Program. The effort, now in its ninth year, is designed to bolster the nation’s scientific workforce by providing support to exceptional researchers during the crucial early career years, when many scientists do their most formative work.
Stanford students recently visited SSRL and LCLS as part of a Principles of X-ray Scattering class led by PULSE PIs David Reis and Jerry Hastings. David Reis, Diling Zhu and Takahiro Sato guide Stanford students through a pump-probe experiment on single crystal silicon at LCLS’s XPP instrument, including analysis of the data on the fly – a rare opportunity for them to conduct research at an XFEL.

PULSE PI Jerry Hastings is a member of the Science Advisory Committee for the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) and is featured on the Humans of ESRF website.
High-order harmonics in the extreme-ultraviolet regime can be produced and a stable waveform-locked attosecond pulse can be formed when quartz is excited by a strong short-pulsed laser, providing a robust path towards attosecond photonics.
