Study about the realization of crystalline undulator

This work will investigate methodologies for design and practical realization of Crystalline Undulators (CU), a novel type of hard X-ray and gamma-ray sources operating at photon energies from ~ 100 keV up to GeV. A Crystalline Undulator functions by exploiting the exposure of an oriented crystal with periodic bending to an ultra-relativistic charged particle beam. This thesis mainly focuses on controlled bending induction strategies on high-quality single crystals by means of the formation of stressor alloy layers via Pulsed Laser Melting methodology, combining experimental data with simulations in order to optimise different aspects of design and production process.
