FLASH (Free Electron Laser in Hamburg) is a linac based SASE (Self-AmplifiedSpontaneous Emission) FEL (Free Electron Laser) facility generating high qualityEUV (Extreme Ultra-Violet) to soft X-ray radiation pulses. TESLA (TeV EnergySuperconducting Linear Accelerator) 1.3 GHz cavities are used for the accelerationof the electron bunches. [...]

This handbook presents the development of synchrotron light sources and free-electron lasers as well as new scientific applications. Hardly any other discovery of the nineteenth century had such an impact on science and technology as Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s seminal discovery of X-rays in the year 1895. [...]

We compute the coupling $\alpha_\mathrm{qq}$ defined in terms of the static quark force by simulating the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ Yang-Mills theory at lattice spacings down to $10^{-2}$~fm, keeping the volume large. In order to systematically improve the approach to the continuum, we subtract the leading cutoff effects in Symanzik's effective theory, resumming theleading $\log(a/r)$-term by renormalization group improvement.

Belle II is a new $B$ factory located at the SuperKEKB electron-positron collider in Tsukuba, Japan, which started operation with a full detector configuration in spring 2019. During operation in 2019 it collected 10.5 fb$^{−1}$ of collision data. [...]

In the recent years, the production, application and research of commercially pure titanium, titanium alloys and titanium aluminides have advanced considerably. In this keynote paper, information is provided on important achievements in the German titanium industry, governmental and non-governmental research organisations and universities. [...]

A search for a pair of light bosons produced in decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson, with one of the light states decaying into a pair of muons and the other into a pair of tau leptons, is presented. The search is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137.2 fb-1, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider in the years 2016, 2017, and 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. [...]

The first part of this thesis investigates the direct detection of axions in particle physics. A generalized matrix formalism for describing axion-photon mixing in multi-layer systems to all orders in the axion-photon coupling is developed and applied for studying light shinning through a wall (LSW) experiments with and without dielectric layers. [...]

This volume describes modern developments in reflective, refractive and diffractive optics for short wavelength radiation as well as recent theoretical approaches to modelling and ray-tracing the X-ray and neutron optical systems. It is based on the joint research activities of specialists in X-ray and neutron optics from 11 countries, working together under the framework of the European Programme for Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST, Action P7) in the period 2002--2006 [...]
