Sub-picosecond pulse radiolysis project at NERL, University of Tokyo

Pulse radiolysis is a method of time-resolved absorption of the chemical species. It is able to measure the reactions in the time range from sub-ns to ms. The highest time resolution has been achieved up to 100 ps. Many primary processes in the time scale of ps or even sub-ps are still remained to be investigated. A new sub-picosecond pulse radiolysis project at Nuclear Engineering Research Laboratory (NERL), University of Tokyo, is under construction. Generation of a sub-ps electron single pulse and a fs Ti:Sapphire laser pulse, and the synchronization of them within 1 ps will be inevitable for this purpose
