HXDR- High-field THz driven dynamics



https://www.hzdr.de/db/Cms?pNid=2611

The new super-radiant THz facility TELBE will provide incredibly high pulse energies in the 100 µJ regime with scalable repetition rates up to 500 kHz. In order to perform cutting edge experiments at TELBE in the future the experimental endstation are designed under participation and based on recommendation of leading groups working in this field. Current pilot experiments focussing on phase transitions in correlated electron systems  or complex biomolecules as well as magnetization dynamics in solids are performed with future pilot users of TELBE at table-top and accelerator based THz sources worldwide [1,2] (see picture above showing a THz pump X-ray probe experiment on magnetization dynamics at the FLASH FEL in collaboration with HZB, FHI and DESY researchers).
