Optimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملSp5-a the Challenge of X-ray Free-electron Lasers Structural Studies with X-ray Lasers
The history of the living world can be summarised as an elaboration of ever more perfect eyes within a Cosmos in which there is always something new to be seen (Teilhard du Chardin, 1955). Today, the bottleneck in the atomic resolution imaging of biological systems is a fundamental need for crystals. This limits the scope of detailed structural analysis to macromolecules and macromolecular asse...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional imaging detectors for structural biology with X-ray lasers.
Our ability to harness the advances in microelectronics over the past decade(s) for X-ray detection has resulted in significant improvements in the state of the art. Biology with X-ray free-electron lasers present daunting detector challenges: all of the photons arrive at the same time, and individual high peak power pulses must be read out shot-by-shot. Direct X-ray detection in silicon pixel ...
متن کاملIn vivo crystallography at X-ray free-electron lasers: the next generation of structural biology?
The serendipitous discovery of the spontaneous growth of protein crystals inside cells has opened the field of crystallography to chemically unmodified samples directly available from their natural environment. On the one hand, through in vivo crystallography, protocols for protein crystal preparation can be highly simplified, although the technique suffers from difficulties in sampling, partic...
متن کاملStructural enzymology using X-ray free electron lasers
Mix-and-inject serial crystallography (MISC) is a technique designed to image enzyme catalyzed reactions in which small protein crystals are mixed with a substrate just prior to being probed by an X-ray pulse. This approach offers several advantages over flow cell studies. It provides (i) room temperature structures at near atomic resolution, (ii) time resolution ranging from microseconds to se...
