X-Ray Laser Applications Study

Abstract

This report is concerned with potential applications of x-ray lasers. Applications considered in some detail are ESCA (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis), x-ray holography, production of micro-electronic circuitry by lithography, x-ray microscopy, metallurgical uses, medico-radiology, radiation chemistry, and effect on nuclear decay rates. The relative merits of x-ray lasers over presently available sources such as synchrotrons and laser plasma sources are also being studied under this program.
