Nicola Giani, here working on the Ultrafast Laser System maintenance with KMLabs Engineers, has obtained a permanent appointment as Laboratory Engineer at LUXEM. Congratulations to him for this achievement, and to the University of Pavia for supporting LUXEM research.
In May 2025, Claudia spent a week at LACUS where she performed collaborative experiments with the LUMES team on Ultrafast Electron Diffraction. We thank Prof. Carbone and his group for their collaboration on our joint EU research projects.
The purpose of the school was to provide young researchers involved within the Action with training on current developments on attosecond experiments. In particular: (i) attosecond science and technology, devoted to the generation and application of attosecond pulses to the investigation of electronic dynamics in atoms, molecules, nanostructures and condensed phases; (ii) fundamentals, methods and applications of free electron lasers in atomic and molecular science. This School hosted Nobel Prize winners Pierre Agostini and Anne L’Huillier. At the conference, Antonio Mazzarone presented a poster titled: “Focusing Delivery Schemes: a Comparative Analysis for Extreme UltraViolet Ultrafast Tabletop Ptychography”. Claudia Schrama presented a [...]
LUXEM is pleased to announce that Domenico successfully defended his M.SC. thesis titled: “Spectrometer design for real-time, ultrafast, extreme ultraviolet ptychography”, and welcomes two new Master students Federico Bertelli and Giovanni Luca Ignaccolo! Find out more
We are delighted to announce the opening of our second research facility LUXEM 2 at the Department of Physics of the University of Pavia. The new laboratory’s aim is two-fold: (i) prototyping new technology for out-of-equilibrium studies of soft-condensed matter; (ii) fostering the development of young researchers competences, with set-ups of Atomic Force Microscopy, Optical Microscopy, Fourier Optics. The laboratory is also equipped with an ultrafast laser oscillator for training on mode-locking and ultrafast laser physics. LUXEM thanks the ERC HYPER PoC, Fondazione Cariplo’s NanoFast, and the University of Pavia for the synergistic effort. Find out more
