LASERIX : A Multi X-Ray/XUV Beamline High Repetition-Rate Facility

LASERIX is a high-power laser facility intended to realize and use for applications transient collisional X-ray laser (XRL) beamlines at various wavelengths. In addition new types of XRL schemes giving rise to emission at short wavelengths will be developed using the high energy LASERIX driver. Thus, this laser facility will both offer Soft XRLs in the 30-7 nm range and auxiliary IR beam that could also be used to produce XUV sources. This experimental configuration highly enhances the scientific opportunities of the facility. Indeed it will be possible to realize both X-ray laser experiments and more generally pump/probe experiments, mixing IR and XUV sources. Then, this laser facility will be useful for the community, opening a large scale of XUV laser investigations.
