Grant Description

The purpose of this proposal is to implement X-ray circular and helical dichroism to investigate the structure and chemical dynamics of molecular systems in solution.

The proposal entails first establishing the concepts and observables of X-ray dichroism in steady-state studies both in the soft and hard X-ray ranges, and then implementing time-resolved X-ray circular and helical dichroism spectroscopies as probes of the chemical dynamics.
