Beam Line Research and Development Group

The group explores new frontier of FEL science in wavelengths from extremely ultraviolet (EUV) to X-rays on the basis of development of new experimental methods and technologies, which enable full-performance utilization of short-wavelength FEL.

Research Subjects

• Development of new experimental methodologies & technologies for XFEL applications
• Development of technologies for FEL seeding
