Optical control of hard X-ray polarization by electron injection in a laser wakefield accelerator

Radiation sources driven by laser-plasma accelerators have the potential to produce shorter bursts of radiation at lower cost than those based on conventional accelerators. Schnell et al.demonstrate the ability to control the polarization of the bursts of hard X-rays produced by such a source.

Turning solid aluminium transparent by intense soft X-ray photoionization

The first experimental demonstration of saturable absorption in core-electron transitions in aluminium paves the way for investigating warm dense matter, which potentially has an important role in planetary science and the realization of inertial confinement fusion.

A free-electron laboratory coherent X-ray source

Facilities generating coherent X-rays tend to be large scale and costly. Now researchers have demonstrated a parametric and coherent laboratory-scale X-ray source by passing moderately energetic electrons through van der Waals heterostructures.

Collective strong coupling of X-rays and nuclei in a nuclear optical lattice

Strong coupling between X-rays and matter excitations in arrays of alternating ⁵⁷Fe and ⁵⁶Fe layers is demonstrated. The results may open the door to X-ray quantum optics and strong coupling phenomena.

Resonant X-ray excitation of the nuclear clock isomer ⁴⁵Sc

Resonant X-ray excitation of the ⁴⁵Sc nuclear isomeric state was achieved by irradiation of a Sc-metal foil with 12.4-keV photon pulses from a state-of-the-art X-ray free-electron laser, allowing a high-precision determination of the transition energy.
