Next-Generation Light Source (NGLS)
[NGLS] The NGLS is primary a "valence science machine." That point informs the scientific strategy of the NGLS and the example experiments presented in this document; these examples include the following:
- Improvement of light harvesting and chemical catalysis, using imaging of charge carrier dynamics at fundamental time and spatial scales
- Revealing valence charge correlations to control emergent phenomena in complex materials, with full momentum and energy resolution
- Visualization of nanoscale self-organization and ultrafast fluctuations of charge in correlated materials and molecular complexes
- Development of an understanding of the coupling of electronic and nuclear motion during chemical reactions
- Element-specific mapping of valence charge flow and correlation in matter, using non-linear x-ray multidimensional spectroscopy
