  FEL have been recently evolving very fast in the extreme-ultraviolet to soft X-ray region. Once seeded with high harmonics generated in gas, these light sources deliver amplified emissions with properties which are, for most of them, directly linked to the injected harmonic beam, e.g. the ultrashort pulse duration for FEL and the high temporal and spatial degree of coherence. Since the last two years the developments of techniques for improving the harmonic properties for seeding FEL lead to major results on tunability, intensity, repetition rate and polarization. Actually harmonics are nowadays used for numbers of applications, before limited to FEL facility. Also, FEL based on harmonic seeding can benefit from the natural synchronization between the FEL, the harmonic and the laser used for generation, which makes it a perfect candidate for pump-probe experiment with fs resolution.

  The first lasing of LEBRA* succeeded in 2001 to produce near infrared FELs, by which the higher harmonics generated by means of the non-linear optical crystals now covered with visible and near infrared regions from 0.35 to 6 microns. The VIS-FELs are of particular interest and are expected to reveal photochemical reactions of single cells, even those in living organisms. To do this, it is a prerequisite to develop a micro-irradiation technique for targeting a single cell without photochemical effect to neighboring cells. We have established a microscopic irradiation technique with VIS-FELs through a fine glass rod. The FEL delivered through a fine-tapered glass rod with a diameter of about 5 microns has two major advantages compared with conventional microscope irradiation systems. The first is to deliver the FEL directly into targeted single cells in accordance with standard microinjection techniques used in developmental biology. The second is the ability to irradiate specific areas of the cytoplasm including cell organelle without severely damaging targeted cells. Using this technique, we also report micro-irradiation experiments on targeted single cells in living organisms.

  Coherent electron cooling (CEC) has a potential to significantly boost luminosity of high-energy, high-intensity hadron-hadron and electron-hadron colliders [1]. In a CEC system, a hadron beam interacts with a cooling electron beam. A perturbation of the electron density caused by ions is amplified and fed back to the ions to reduce the energy spread and the emittance of the ion beam. To demonstrate the feasibility of CEC we propose a proof-of-principle experiment at RHIC using one of JLab’s SRF cryo-modules. In this paper, we describe the experimental setup for CeC installed into one of RHIC's interaction regions. We present results of analytical estimates and results of initial simulations of cooling a gold-ion beam at 40 GeV/u energy via CeC.
