Abstract

Relatively small-scale laser-driven sources of short wavelength radiation covering a range from the extreme ultraviolet to the hard X-ray regime are now available. Because the duration of the X-ray pulses is comparable to, or shorter than the laser pulse width, it is possible to carry out X-ray measurements with picosecond or femtosecond time resolution.
