A suite of X-ray instruments for exploiting the unique scientific capability of the LCLS will be built at SLAC. Four instruments will be designed and built by the LUSI group. Each instrument will have unique capabilities, creating a diverse experimental landscape of probing ultrafast dynamics.
Atomic, Molecular & Optical Science - AMO
This instrument will enable the study of the interaction between the extremely intense LCLS X-ray pulses and the basic constituents of matter: atoms and molecules.
X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy - XCS
This instrument will observe dynamical changes of large groups of atoms in condensed matter systems over a wide range of time scales.
X-ray Pump Probe - XPP
This instrument will predominantly use a fast optical laser to generate transient states of matter, and the hard X-ray pulse from the LCLS to probe the structural dynamics initiated by the laser excitation.
Coherent X-ray Imaging - CXI
This instrument will take advantage of the extremely bright, ultrashort LCLS pulses of hard X-rays to allow imaging of non-periodic nanoscale objects, including single or small clusters of biomolecules at or near atomic resolution.
High Energy Density Science - HED
This instrument will enable the detailed study of states of matter created when normal condensed matter is suddenly heated to very high temperatures, well above melting.
Soft X-ray Materials Science - SXR
This instrument will enable the high brightness and timing capability of the LCLS to be applied to scattering and imaging experiments that require the use of soft X-rays.
The interactive instrument map illustrates the physical location of each instrument within the LCLS and provides helpful information about each instrument.
