Theory of Ultrafast X-ray and Electron Phenomena

Advances in experimental methodology aligned with technological developments has led to a paradigm shift in the capability of time-resolved experiments performed using short wavelength probe pulses such as X-rays and Electrons. It is now possible to simultaneously achieve high temporal and spectral resolution on an extremely broad range of samples. The complex nature and high information content of this class of techniques means that detailed theoretical studies are often essential to provide a firm link between the experimental observables and the underlying structure and dynamics of the sample. This special issue will showcase the recent development in theoretical methods and applications using to understand and predict ultrafast Phenomena investigated using X-rays and Electrons.
