In a new cooperation between the Helmholtz Institute Jena, a branch of GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, and Friedrich Schiller University Jena, a research group is investigating novel imaging methods in the short-wave XUV spectral range. The project will initially run for three years and is being funded by the Free State of Thuringia and the European Social Fund Plus of the European Union with a total of around 900,000 euros, split equally between the partners.
