Example of application using the optimized XUV source
DNA samples irradiation
Users :
• LCAM (Univ. Paris XI) : E. Porcel, C. Le Sech, S. Lacombe
• GPS (Univ. Paris VI) : A.-M. Penhoat, A. Touati
Background
• Effect of pulsed ionising radiation on DNA
• Investigation of direct effects
• Single strand or double strand break of DNA molecules
Experimental method
• Irradiation of plasmids (DNA loops)
• Accumulation of a XUV dose perfectly known and uniform
• Strand rate estimation by an ex-situ electrophoresis

ADONIS
Status and ongoing work
Present situation
• ADONIS (Laser driver) operating at 2.5 J – 10 Hz
• Two 10 Hz compressed IR beamlines available :
1.4 J / 1 ps to 100 ps (SXRL)
100 mJ / 40 fs (IR probe or HHG pumping)
• 100 J / 0.1 Hz pump lasers ready with DKDP, LBO installed soon (160 J expected)
→ 4 beams (2 tables) will be shared with ILE (LUIRE & APPOLON)
• 10 Hz SXRL and HHG under development
→ expected with optimized performances before end 2010 (GRIP & DGRIP)
• Full Command-control of the entire installation under development
→ expected before summer 2011 (coll. Amplitude Technologies)
Coming soon
• 10 Hz SXRL beamline opening for experiments (coll.) → beginning 2011
• 40 J – 0.1 Hz amplifier (8 pump beams) & compressor → planned for beginning 2011
• 0.1 Hz high energy SXRL development → planned for mid-2011
• 0.1 Hz SXRL HE beamline opening for experiments (coll.) → end 2011
