DASEL: Dark Sector Experiments at LCLS-II
Tor Raubenheimer, Anthony Beukers, Alan Fry +6
This paper describes the concept for the DArk Sector Experiments at LCLS-II (DASEL) facility which provides a near-CW beam of multi-GeV electrons to the SLAC End Station A for expe…
Diffractive Imaging of Coherent Nuclear Motion in Isolated Molecules
Jie Yang, Markus Guehr, Xiaozhe Shen +17
Observing the motion of the nuclear wavepackets during a molecular reaction, in both space and time, is crucial for understanding and controlling the outcome of photoinduced chemic…
Strongly aligned gas-phase molecules at Free-Electron Lasers
Thomas Kierspel, Joss Wiese, Terry Mullins +27
We demonstrate a novel experimental implementation to strongly align molecules at full repetition rates of free-electron lasers. We utilized the available in-house laser system at…
Integrated Structured Light Architectures
Randy Lemons, Wei Liu, Josef C. Frisch +4
The structural versatility of light underpins an outstanding collection of optical phenomena where both geometrical and topological states of light can dictate how matter will resp…
The Phase-Contrast Imaging Instrument at the Matter in Extreme Conditions Endstation at LCLS
Bob Nagler, Andreas Schropp, Eric C. Galtier +13
We describe the Phase-Contrast Imaging instrument at the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) endstation of the Linac Coherent Light Source. The instrument can image phenomena with a…
Diffractive imaging of a molecular rotational wavepacket with femtosecond Megaelectronvolt electron pulses
Jie Yang, Markus Guehr, Theodore Vecchione +20
Imaging changes in molecular geometries on their natural femtosecond timescale with sub-Angstrom spatial precision is one of the critical challenges in the chemical sciences, since…
The LCLS-II Photoinjector Laser Infrastructure
Hao Zhang, Sasha Gilevich, Alan Miahnahri +23
This paper presents a comprehensive technical overview of the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) photoinjector laser system, its first and foremost component. The LCLS-II pho…
X-ray diffractive imaging of controlled gas-phase molecules: Toward imaging of dynamics in the molecular frame
Thomas Kierspel, Andrew Morgan, Joss Wiese +25
We report experimental results on the diffractive imaging of three-dimensionally aligned 2,5-diiodothiophene molecules. The molecules were aligned by chirped near-infrared laser pu…
