Overview of the experimental platform. (a) Basic optics for the XFEL beam transport in the OH and beamline components in EH6. The interaction point in the sample chamber (SC) is 5.7 m from a vacuum gate valve (GV) at the entrance of EH6. The beam monitors and CRLs are in an instrument chamber (IC) and a lens chamber (LC), respectively. The CRLs are isolated from the SC either with the GV with a glass (G) or beryllium (Be) window. The end stop of the beam is 4.5 m from the interaction point. (b) Schematic setup in the sample chamber (top view of the lower floor) for the commissioning experiments. The optical path for the west laser beam is shown for future reference. The inset shows an example of sample plates mounted on the sample mounting system. |
