LUXD: ultrafast X-ray crystallography talk.

A physics seminar at Imperial College London titled Solving crystal structures with femtosecond time resolution for solid state physics research (LUXD). Professor Jasper van Thor and Dr Niladri Banerjee speak about LUXD, a world-unique instrument being commissioned in the physics department, designed for femtosecond time-resolved chemical crystallography and ultrafast solid state physics. It is a femtosecond pulsed hard X-ray source based on laser-driven plasma generation, aiming at full molecular structure determination by recording all reflections rather than single ones. The talk covers the development of this technique at X-ray free electron lasers and LUXD.
