Fundamental physics at an X-ray free electron laser | | A. Ringwald

19 Dec 2001 | | Subject: | High Energy Physics - Phenomenology; Plasma Physics; Optics; Instrumentation and Detectors | hep-ph physics.ins-det physics.optics physics.plasm-ph | | Affiliation: | DESY | | Abstract: | X-ray free electron lasers (FELs) have been proposed to be constructed both at SLAC in the form of the so-called Linac Coherent Light Source as well as at DESY, where the so-called XFEL laboratory is part of the design of the electron-positron linear collider TESLA. In addition to the immediate applications in condensed matter physics, chemistry, material science, and structural biology, X-ray FELs may be employed also to study some physics issues of fundamental nature. In this context, one may mention the boiling of the vacuum (Schwinger pair creation in an external field), horizon physics (Unruh effect), and axion production. We review these X-ray FEL opportunities of fundamental physics and discuss the necessary technological improvements in order to achieve these goals. | | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0112254 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
