Diagnosing ionizing radiation has been subject of research as long as applications in this field exist. Many techniques to reveal temporal and spatial information about a beam of ionizing photons are intrusive. To minimize this intrusiveness, plasma could be a suitable intermediate state for potential diagnostics to be developed.
The in this contribution elaborated novel diagnostic is based...
The large-scale nature of free-electron lasers (FELs) often precludes control over various noise sources affecting the arrival time of the X-ray pulses. To achieve high temporal resolution (<100 fs) in laser pump/X-ray probe experiments, an arrival time monitor (ATM), such as an X-ray/optical cross-correlator, is implemented. Typically, an X-ray-induced change of the optical properties of a...
The ePix10k2M is a new large area detector specifically developed for X-ray Free Electron Laser applications. The hybrid pixel detector was developed at SLAC to provide a hard X-ray area detector with a high dynamic range, running at the 120 Hz repetition rate of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The detector has a dynamic range from single photon counting up to 10.000...
