Abstract :
Summary form only given. This tutorial will discuss recent techniques for generating tunable femtosecond x-ray pulses, focusing primarily on approaches which combine femtosecond lasers and relativistic electron beams. In addition, this tutorial will provide an overview of current and proposed scientific applications and associated measurement techniques which use femtosecond x-rays to probe structural dynamics in condensed matter.
