Chris Chantler's Research Summary

X-ray Optics and Synchrotron Science, Advanced Relativistic Quantum Mechanics (RQM) and QED: 50% theory, 50% experiment, 50% atomic physics, 50% condensed matter science. We discover new processes in RQM with synchrotrons & labs, & test QED. We have led characteristic structure theory for 20 years. We have new theory on the imfp, and one of three theoretical databases of the US on the interaction of photons with matter. We developed several new experimental techniques, and several new theories.
