X-ray laser applications study
Abstract
This report is concerned with potential applications of X-ray lasers. The program is supported by ARPA and monitored by NRL. Applications considered in 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.
