New Science Opportunities with X-Ray Free Electron Laser  

Koo, Tae-Yeong (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, Pohang University of Science and Technology)
Abstract
X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) has been known to be a dream X-ray source opening an epoch in X-ray science with the characteristics of femtosecond pulse, perfect transverse coherence, and ultra-high brightness. Here we introduce the XFEL source shortly and report the status of the worldwide XFEL facilities, and then the experimental instrumentations for XFEL are reviewed in their conceptual classification scheme. Scientific examples and applications proposed in the research area of magnetism for XFEL are briefly mentioned. Finally are summarized the facility overview and the scientific proposals for PAL-XFEL project.
Keywords
X-ray free electron laser; femtosecond pulsed X-ray source; coherent X-ray source; ultra-brilliant X-ray source; ultrafast magnetization dynamics;
