Proposal for Experiment Systems Using Laser-Driven Heavy Ions and XFELs to Understand Physical Phenomena Occurring Near the Incident Ion Path

Experiment systems using laser-driven heavy ions and X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) as pump and probe sources, respectively, are proposed to investigate DNA damage that occurs near the laser-driven heavy ion path. This system is expected to provide high spatial and short time resolution measurements.
