Electronic response to ultra-intense, ultra-fast x-ray fields • Motivations: • Control of inner-shell electron dynamics with x-ray and optical lasers • Understand and control electronic damage • Explore high intensity hard x-ray regime (1022 W/cm2) • Develop portable, pass-through pulse characterization • Requirements: • Highest possible peak intensity • Seeded x-rays (both hard and soft), sub-micron focusing (small volume, need dense gas target) • Control of pulse duration • Monochromatic, tunable hard and soft x-rays • Good pulse characterization • Energy on target, pulse duration, spectrum/bandwidth, laser/x-ray timing • Optimized detection of photons, electrons, and ions • High resolution and/or high efficiency ETOFs, hard x-ray ETOF?, energy resolving photon detection • Co-located synchronized high field optical laser Driving hidden resonances in neon E.
