The DSSC camera system was developed for soft X-ray photon science applications in the 0.25–6 keV energy range at the European XFEL in Germany. Two sensor implementations are available: a 1-megapixel camera with MiniSDD sensors, delivered in 2019, and a recently completed version equipped with DEPFET active pixels. The first DSSC camera, based on MiniSDD pixels, has been successfully used for...

The Spectroscopy and Coherent Scattering (SCS) instrument at the European XFEL is equipped with the Heisenberg-RIXS spectrometer (hRIXS), capable of performing resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) measurements in the time domain, with time and energy resolution approaching the Heisenberg limit imposed by the uncertainty relations [1, 2]. The unique pulse delivery structure of the...
