Data systems for the Linac Coherent Light Source

J. Thayer, D. Damiani, C. Ford, I. Gaponenko, W. Kroeger, C. O'Grady, J. Pines, T. Tookey, M. Weaver and A. Perazzo

The data acquisition and data management systems for X-ray free-electron laser experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source are described. These systems are designed to acquire and to reliably transport shot-by-shot data at a peak throughput of 5 GB s⁻¹ to the offline data storage, where experimental data and the relevant metadata are archived and made available for user analysis. A case study of a serial femtosecond crystallography pipeline is presented.

Keywords: free-electron lasers; FELs; serial femtosecond crystallography; data acquisition systems; data management systems; computer programs.
