The X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source

چکیده
The X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy instrument is dedicated to the study of dynamics in condensed matter systems using the unique coherence properties of free-electron lasers. It covers a photon energy range of 4-25 keV. The intrinsic temporal characteristics of the Linac Coherent Light Source, in particular the 120 Hz repetition rate, allow for the investigation of slow dynamics (milliseconds) by means of X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Double-pulse schemes could probe dynamics on the picosecond timescale. A description of the instrument capabilities and recent achievements is presented.

متن کاملLinac Coherent Light Source soft x-ray materials science instrument optical design and monochromator commissioning.
We present the x-ray optical design of the soft x-ray materials science instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source, consisting of a varied line-spaced grating monochromator and Kirkpatrick-Baez refocusing optics. Results from the commissioning of the monochromator are shown. A resolving power of 3000 was achieved, which is within a factor of two of the design goal.
متن کاملPhoton-in photon-out hard X-ray spectroscopy at the Linac Coherent Light Source
X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) have opened unprecedented possibilities to study the structure and dynamics of matter at an atomic level and ultra-fast timescale. Many of the techniques routinely used at storage ring facilities are being adapted for experiments conducted at FELs. In order to take full advantage of these new sources several challenges have to be overcome. They are related to t...

We report the experimental observation of the filamentation effect in gas devices designed for X-ray Free-electron Laser’s. The measurements were carried out at the Linac Coherent Light Source on the X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy (XCS) instrument using a Two-bunch FEL beam at 6.5 keV with 122.5 ns separation passing through an Argon gas cell. The relative intensities of the two pulses of the T...
