- Now-March 2009
- Install FEE components, FEE PPS, NEH PPS
- March/April 2009
- FEE/NEH safety review, PPS certification
- May 2009
- First light to FEE
- May-June 2009
- Install AMO instrument in NEH Hutch 1
- July 2009

4LCLS X-ray operations plan
500-700 hrs in FY09, with 1 instrument (month of
Sept 2009) 4000 hrs in FY10, with 2-3 instruments
(Oct-Dec 2009, Mar-Sept? 2010) 5000 hrs/yr by
FY14, with 6 instruments X-ray operations
scheduled in blocks of a few months or more, with
periodic (every 2 weeks?) brief (2 days?)
interruptions for machine studies Typical
experiment will last for about 2 weeks

11AMO Instrument
Optimized for studying the interactions between
FEL X-ray pulses and simple samples atoms,
molecules, clusters
beam
12Other LCLS instruments
- SXR Soft X-ray FEL studies of condensed matter
(dynamics of phase transitions, imaging of
nanoparticles) - XPP Hard X-ray scattering studies of
laser-excited states - XCS Hard X-ray coherent scattering studies of
dynamics - CXI Flash imaging of nanoparticles and molecules
- MEE Studies of materials in extreme environments
(high temperature, pressure)
13LCLS User Program
- Goal safe, efficient operation promoting the
best science - LCLS will be a DOE-BES User Facility
- Access through proposal/review process
- LCLS scientific staff frequently collaborate with
users, also maintain independent research
programs
14Current XFD Priorities
- Installation in FEE, Hutch 1
- Begin User program
- First proposals in, review underway
- Seeking User program manager
- Form Safety program
- Working with ASD to form complementary structure
- Seeking XFD Safety Officer
- Augment scientific/support staff
15Summary
- XFD is a new department at SLAC, will run LCLS
X-ray experimental facilities - XFD will be the interface between LCLS and the
world user community - Will nurture creation of LCLS instruments, then
manage them - Goal safe, efficient operation promoting the
best science
