Key objectives of HiLUX
HiLUX project completely transforms Artemis and Ultra facilities thanks to upgraded instruments and detectors. This offers higher power, faster data collection & improved sample-handling solutions. Key objectives include:
- providing a world-leading, flexible and resilient facility for ultrafast spectroscopy
- increasing data rates and spectral coverage
- enabling full exploitation of the much higher data rates, through new detectors and interfaces for high data volumes
- enabling studies of industrially and societally relevant systems, through provision of advanced sample handling technology
- reaching new user communities requiring advances in capabilities such as batteries, data storage and biomolecular interactions, by introducing new capability and lowering barriers to access for non-specialist users
- maximising our understanding of interconnected ultrafast processes, by enabling study of scientific problems through the widest variety of spectroscopic techniques
- contributing to advanced skills training (50% of CLF users are PhD students) in experimental and computational science
