TIMEX beamline

The TIMEX beamline is designed for time resolved (t<100 fs) spectroscopies using the pump-probe approach.
Typical experiments involve

  1. functional materials,
  2. ultrafast phenomena,
  3. nonequilibrium condensed matter,
  4. nonlinear light-matter interaction,
  5. high energy density matter

User Area

Proposal submission
We invite users and collaborators to discuss their proposals with the beamline local contacts well in advance before the submission deadline. This is crucial for a careful assesment of the experiment feasibility and may lead to improvements in the proposed experimental plan. For more information on experiment feasibilty and proposal submission, please vist the user info section.

Next call for proposals deadline: October 2025
