Diamond-based X-ray luminescent composites are robust materials to be used in
synchrotrons and free-electron lasers to detect and visualize high-intensity X-ray beams …

Single-phase samples of the Ba1− xCexF2+ x solid solution (x= 0.3–0.4) were synthesized
by directional crystallization in the form of single crystals and by co-precipitation from …

Models attempting an analytical description of free-electron laser (FEL) devices have been
proposed in the past. They provided interesting results, leading either to a deeper …

We report on electron-beam collimation using a passive plasma lens, integrated directly and
conveniently into a laser wakefield-accelerator stage operating in the high-charge regime …

Recently, progress has been made in fabricating diamond-based scintillators with integrated
rare-earth luminescent particles. These luminescent particles are integrated into the bulk of …

In an electron wakefield accelerator, an intense laser pulse or charged particle beam excites
plasma waves. Under proper conditions, electrons from the background plasma are trapped …

The combination of advanced high-power laser technology, new acceleration methods and
achievements in undulator development offers the opportunity to build compact, high …

Along with the development of FEL X-ray sources, the design and the construction of
Compton Back-Scattering (CBS) devices for different applications are being pursued. These …

Microwave undulators (MUs) have great potential to be an alternative solution to permanent
