About this role

The Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the theoretical and numerical modeling of a compact X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) driven by an electron beam produced by a laser plasma accelerator (LPA). We have recently joined a collaboration with the BELLA lab at Berkeley to model the electron beam transport and FEL radiation generation of their LPA-produced beams. The selected candidate will closely collaborate with the experimental team at BELLA to develop a detailed simulation of the beam transport and diagnostic measurements, with the goal to better understand and optimize the FEL performance.…
