Ultrafast techniques (IMPRS-UFAST core course)

The course focuses on the use of modern light/ X-ray/ electron sources for investigating the physics/ chemistry/ biology phenomena. We will discuss scattering and image reconstruction techniques, spectroscopy and their use for time-resolved measurements . Key questions addressed are which techniques exist, how to use them, and which method is best used to reach a certain goal.

Key topics: Scattering techniques light/ X-ray/ electron sources/ Image reconstruction techniques/ Multidimensional spectroscopy techniques/ Regular x-ray spectroscopy/ Time and space resolved techniques/ Pump-probe techniques
