Summary
This award is jointly supported by the Major Research Instrumentation and the Chemistry Research Instrumentation programs. The University of California, Berkeley, is developing a next-generation tabletop ultrafast soft x-ray spectroscopy instrument to support the research of Professor Michael Zuerch and colleagues Stephen Leone and Daniel Neumark, as well as a broad community of campus and external users. By establishing a campus-based hub for ultrafast soft x-ray science, the project increases access to advanced x-ray capabilities for chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and engineers.
