VUV to X-rays Experiments with Light
The goal of the VOXEL team is to advance understanding of laser-plasma interactions, unlocking new frontiers in high-energy-density physics and warm dense matter (WDM) research.
Our efforts focus on:
- Cutting-edge ultrafast plasma diagnostics using ultrashort pulses to untangle short-timescale plasma dynamics
- Providing benchmark data on plasma atomic physics supporting modeling for fusion, astrophysics, and more
- Developing advanced computational methods for collisional-radiative models
- Pioneering innovative X-ray imaging techniques with coherent and incoherent light
- Harnessing structured laser-pulse control to precisely manipulate plasma evolution
- Advancing secondary source development: high harmonic generation in gases/solids, and X-rays from laser-solid interactions
NanoXCAN
VOXEL is the coordinator of the NanoXCAN project — an European Innovation Council Pathfinder Project (Grant 101047223). We are developing the X-ray microscope of the future.
