Applications of the LCLS X-ray Free Electron Laser for High-Energy Density Science

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Abstract (35 Word Limit) LCLS, the first x-ray FEL has been operational since late 2009. The facility provides x-ray from 600 eV to 10 keV in the fundamental. The LCLS operates at 120 Hz, with pulses from ≤ 10fs to 300fs containing up to 3mJ of energy. We will discuss the implementation of early High Energy density Science experiments that have been performed. These experiments cover LCLS-solid interaction which measured the spectral response, high pressure warm dense matter creation, self-Thomson scattering from solid and liquid jet samples, scattering from shocks, and x-ray generated cluster explosions. These experiment were performed in the extant end station, while the MEC -Matter in Extreme Conditions- end station is being constructed. A brief discussion of the MEC, which will be commissioning in autumn of 2011 and ready for users in January 2012, will be presented. Article not available.
