PolariX TDS revolution: attosecond electron–photon dynamics and multidimensional XFEL metrology
X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have revolutionized ultrafast science with exceptional spatiotemporal resolution, yet attosecond-level beam diagnostics face critical challenges. The article comments on PolariX TDS, a polarization-tunable X-band deflector developed by CERN, DESY, and PSI, which overcomes these limits by enabling multidimensional phase-space characterization with sub-femtosecond resolution.
