Linear accelerator-based free-electron lasers (FELs) are the leading source of fully coherent
X-rays with ultra-high peak powers and ultra-short pulse lengths. Current X-ray FEL facilities …

A new scientific frontier opened in 2009 with the start of operations of the world's first x-ray
free-electron laser (FEL), the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), at SLAC National …

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy in the sub-nanosecond to femtosecond time range
requires ultrashort X-ray pulses and a spectral X-ray flux considerably larger than that …

Free-electron lasers (FELs) are promising devices for generating light with laser-like
properties in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray spectral regions. Recently, FELs based on the …

Abstract The recently commissioned Linac Coherent Light Source is an X-ray free-electron
laser at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. It produces coherent soft and hard X-rays …

X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) are state-of-the-art scientific tools capable to study matter
