DM: Thomas: SMURF

after the promising results of the 1st SMURF experiment ( http://www.opticsinfobase.org/view_article.cfm?gotourl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opticsinfobase.org%2FDirectPDFAccess%2F75E1963E-C2E1-A709-3EAB91454AB19322_196721.pdf%3Fda%3D1%26id%3D196721%26seq%3D0%26mobile%3Dno&org= ) we are going to attempt to push the technique further. The 1st experiment having been carried out in under 2 days with no forward planning what so ever, so this is our chance to attempt to do it properly. during this presentation i will quickly run through what other people have done in the recent past in terms of water-window xray generation, what the smurf is likely to bring extra, and ask for people's inputs on a variety of still undecided parameters and techniques.
to make the discussion more lively tobi is going to buy us loads of scrumpy cider!
