On Friday, 15 March the French-Swedish Nobel laureate in Physics Anne L'Huillier gave the lecture "The route to attosecond pulses" and answered questions about her work. Anne L'Huillier attended a meeting of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of European XFEL, which she is a member of. “It was a great honour for us, discussing the latest research highlights with Anne”, says Serguei Molodtsov, Scientific Director of European XFEL.

Together with French-US-American physicist Pierre Agostini and the Hungarian-Austrian physicist Ferenc Krausz, she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics last year for her work on ultrafast physics, one of the main research areas at the European XFEL.

Due to the expected high interest and the limited space available, the lecture was also streamed via Zoom.

 

In the morning, Anne L'Huillier and the members of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) had a tour to the instruments before they started their meeting.
