Wisconsin FEL Project
The University of Wisconsin-Madison, in collaboration with MIT, is exploring the feasibility and design of a next generation light source and the broad range of science and technology that it would enable.
This proposed new multidisciplinary, international User facility will be a superconducting linac driven Free Electron Laser source capable of producing fully coherent photon beams with short, highly monochromatic, and variable rep rate pulses covering the VUV and soft x-ray range.
WiFEL will advance science and technology in the areas of molecular dynamics, coherent imaging, resonant inelastic scattering, photoemission spectroscopy, atomic/molecular physics, biological sciences, and nanotechnology.
Information about the project including workshops held on machine design and feasible science is available on the WiFEL website.
