Diagnostics and Beamlines

Photon diagnostics, beam tailoring optics and slits and beam correlation sections are used to characterize, manipulate and transport the photon beams to the different end stations. Experimental stations for coherent diffraction imaging (DIPROI), for absorption and elastic scattering from materials under extreme conditions (EIS-TIMEX), for gas phase and cluster spectroscopy (LDM), for inelastic and transient grating spectroscopy (EIS-TIMER), for terahertz applications (TERAFERMI) and for magneto dynamical studies (MagneDyn). Optical laser pulses are also available for Pump-Probe esperiments (SLU). Table-top laser-based time-resolved spectroscopies are available at T-ReX.

The radiation coming from both FEL lines is analyzed in terms of intensity, position and spectral content, giving online and shot to shot informations to the users. A gas-based cell gives the possibility to control the flux delivered to the beamlines. The transport system carries the beam to the endstations; it includes a beam splitting and delay section and the different refocusing mirror chambers.

All the endstations can work with photon radiation coming from both FEL lines, covering the 100-4 nm range. Several experimental techniques, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the FEL radiation, are implemented (see the beamlines' descriptions). A common photon beam diagnostic and manipulation system is available.
