XAFS measurement system using undulator synchronized on-the-fly monochromator scan at SPring-8 BL36XU

Nonlinear scanning of a compact channel-cut monochromator synchronized with an undulator-gap movement system enables fast high-flux X-ray absorption fine structure measurements.

Single-shot hard X-ray spectrometer with uniform spatial and spectral response

We demonstrate a single-shot hard X-ray spectrometer based on small-angle scattering from glassy carbon that is insensitive to X-ray free electron laser beam-dependent spatial and spectral variations. Comparison with established X-ray Thomson scattering diagnostics using stochastic correlation X-ray spectroscopy demonstrates full-bandwidth coverage with millielectronvolt-scale spectral resolution, enabling reliable single-shot spectroscopic measurements.

An efficient wave-optics framework for partially coherent pink X-ray beam simulation and analysis

This article proposes a new calculation method and framework for simulating a pink X-ray beam, significantly improving computational efficiency. By comparing it with the experimental data from the beamline, the simulation method is consistent with the actual situation.

Single-shot third-harmonic spectral diagnostics for tender X-ray FEL pulses using a bent-crystal spectrometer

Third-harmonic spectral monitoring with an existing bent-crystal spectrometer provides single-shot bandwidth diagnostics and real-time machine tuning for tender X-ray free-electron laser operation, and can be made non-invasive when combined with a suitable beam-sampling grating.
