Chemical Sciences (CHEM)
The Chemical Science department performs research and supports user experiments at the LCLS. We cover diverse scientific areas from elementary photochemical processes in isolated quantum systems to the investigation of active sites in biomolecules. Our activities are structured in two groups, the Bio and Condensed Phase Chemistry group (joint with the Biological Sciences department) and the Gas Phase Photochemistry group (joint with the AMOS department). We currently perform experiments at the CXI
