Introduction

Professor Michael Meyer is working in Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, Germany. Since 2010, he has been the leading scientist at the European XFEL in Germany responsible for the Small Quantum Systems (SQS) scientific instrument. Before, long-term stay as senior scientist in France. Numerous experiments at synchrotron radiation and Free-Electron Laser facilities. Main research interests are time-resolved experiments and non-linear studies on atoms and molecules.

Abstract

The Small Quantum Systems (SQS) instrument of the European XFEL is dedicated to investigations of non-linear phenomena and time-resolved studies of photo-induced dynamics in atoms, molecules, clusters, nanoparticles and bio-molecules upon irradiation with ultra-short and ultra-intense soft X-rays pulses. In the lecture, he will give a general overview of the instrument and highlight the scientific results from experiments performed at SQS during the first two years of operation.
