Research Summary

Takashi  Tanaka(D.Eng.)

FEL physics team is in charge of development of devices called undulators, which induce interaction between radiation and electron beam to realize x-ray lasing. In addition, theoretical research and new XFEL scheme are explored to futher upgrade the laser performance of SACLA.
