Description
In this contribution we will discuss the “Attosecond Technology” program at the European XFEL. This strategic program is being launched to cross a new frontier in ultrafast science, enabling experiments that probe and control electron dynamics on their natural timescales. The program is structured into tightly coordinated projects that address the full chain of challenges required for reliable attosecond operation at the European XFEL. These include the following three areas: first, attosecond pulse generation; second, development of next-generation diagnostics, capable of resolving sub-femtosecond temporal structures and, third, dedicated proof-of-principle experiments to validate performance under real experimental conditions and to provide increasing user access to attosecond-class capabilities. These efforts form a roadmap that integrates accelerator physics, FEL science, and experimental methodology. The program aims at delivering reproducible and well-characterized high-power X-ray attosecond pulses in single pulse, X-ray pump/X-ray probe or Optical pump/X-ray probe configuration.
