The unprecedented brilliance and narrow pulse duration of the LCLS provides a unique opportunity to observe dynamical changes of large groups of atoms in condensed matter systems over a wide range of time scales using X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy (XCS) and Coherent X-ray Scattering. The X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy instrument at the LCLS allows the study of equilibrium- and non-equilibrium dynamics in disordered or modulated materials on timescales ranging from 100 femtoseconds to several nanoseconds and from 10 milliseconds to thousands of seconds using the "Split and Delay" and Sequential mode of operation respectively.
