Superradiant Thomson scattering from graphite in the extreme ultraviolet on PNAS

ISC researcher Claudia Fasolato coauthored a research paper, recently published on PNAS, based on experimental work carried out at the free electron laser FERMI, at Elettra Synchrotron, in Trieste.

Radiation-matter interaction is typically understood through low order perturbation theory, yet this framework falters in exotic environments, such as pulsars, where radiation exists in coherent states with large occupation numbers.… Read the rest
