Making Molecular Movies at PULSE

High Harmonics

A false colour plot of a High Harmonic Generation spectrum generated by pulsing N2 with an ultrafast laser once, then again after a time delay.

Ultrafast X-rays Probe Electron-Phonon Interactions

Quantum Whirlpools

A dense patterned 3-D grid of tiny whirlpools, called quantum vortices, populates a nanoscale droplet of rotating superfluid helium.

Strong Field-Matter Interaction

Intense ultra-short laser pulses of various colors interact with simple diatomic molecules to emulate and control dynamics of more complex molecular systems.

Photoprotection in DNA

Thymine resists chemical alteration through an ultrafast decay mechanism which we probe using ultrafast pulses in the XUV and SXR domains.

Congratulations to Ed Hohenstein and Emma McBride!

Three SLAC researchers are recognized with prestigious DOE Early Career Awards Edward Hohenstein, Emma McBride and Caterina Vernieri study what happens to molecules hit by light, recreate extreme states of matter like those inside stars and planets, and search for new physics phenomena at the most fundamental level. https://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2021-05-27-three-slac-researchers-are-recognized-prestigious-doe-early-career-awards.aspx
