چکیده
The BNL Laser-Electron Accelerator Facility (LEAF) uses a laser-pulsed photocathode, radio-frequency electron gun to generate ù7 ps pulses of 8.7 MeV electrons for pulse radiolysis experiments. The compact and operationally simple accelerator system includes synchronized laser pulses that can be used to probe or excite the electron-pulsed samples to examine the dynamics and reactivity of chemical species on the picosecond time scale. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

Development of nanosecond time-resolved infrared detection at the LEAF pulse radiolysis facility.
When coupled with transient absorption spectroscopy, pulse radiolysis, which utilizes high-energy electron pulses from an accelerator, is a powerful tool for investigating the kinetics and thermodynamics of a wide range of radiation-induced redox and electron transfer processes. The majority of these investigations detect transient species in the UV, visible, or near-IR spectral regions. Unfort...
متن کاملNegative polaron and triplet exciton diffusion in organometallic "molecular wires".
The dynamics of negative polaron and triplet exciton transport within a series of monodisperse platinum (Pt) acetylide oligomers is reported. The oligomers consist of Pt-acetylide repeats, [PtL(2)-C≡C-Ph-C≡C-](n) (where L = PBu(3) and Ph = 1,4-phenylene, n = 2, 3, 6, and 10), capped with naphthalene diimide (NDI) end groups. The Pt-acetylide segments are electro- and photoactive, and they serve...
متن کاملLaser System for a Subpicosecond Electron Linac
At the Argonne Chemistry Division efforts are underway to develop a sub-picosecond electron beam pulse radiolysis facility for chemical studies. The target output of the accelerator is to generate electron pulses that can be adjusted from 3nC in .6ps to 100nC in 45ps. In conjunction with development of the accelerator a stateof-the-art ultrafast laser system is under construction that will driv...
متن کاملDevelopment of a New Picosecond Pulse Radiolysis System by Using Femtosecond Laser Synchronized with Picosecond Electron Beams
A new picosecond pulse radiolysis system for the absorption spectroscopy to observe ultra fast phenomena was developed. The system was composed of a 38 MeV picosecond electron L-band linac for the irradiation source and a femtosecond laser system for the analyzing light. The laser pulse was synchronized with the electron pulse by using the common radio frequency. The timeresolution of the syste...
متن کاملOptimal Parameters of the Photocathode Gun Space Charge to Improve Beam Quality
Accelerator Test Facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL ATF) operates with 5 MeV photocathode gun and 70 MeV linac for different range of experiments with a few picoseconds and a few micrometers emittance electron bunch. Many conducted experiments require beam with good spatial resolution and short length as well. NdYaG laser pulse turns to the electron bunch in the gun with space char...
