Single atoms / molecules 20 fs pulses Ne charge state 1 2 8 9 10 200 fs pulses 200 fs pulses (neon atoms) -Hollow molecules at the highest pulse intensity and shortest pulse durations. -Decreases the risk of damage in single pulse imaging experiments since the damage depends on photo-ionization but the elastic scattering cross-section does not

Molecular alignment: LCLS 2009 Time-Resolved Spectroscopy at the LCLS, Optics Express, Vol. 18, No. 17, 17620 (2010) J. M. Glownia, J. Cryan , J. Andreasson, et al. N22+(v=0) 50 fs N22+(v=0) N+(v) N+(-v) N22+(v=0) The alignment is revealed in the m/z region around 14 where the central N22+ peak is flanked by signal from N+ ions with initial velocity towards (v) and away from (-v) the detector. Processed data shows dynamics on 50 fs time scale Ratio: side peak / central peak • 800 nm Ti:Sapphire laser is used to impulsively align molecular nitrogen along the laser polarization direction • 1080 eV x-rays then ionize the N2 producing prompt coulomb explosion X-ray delay
Outlook: ToF instrumentation -VMI and sample orientation for 3D reconstruction - MD simulations show that on protein fragmentation is reproducible - Use ToF measurements with momentum resolution to get sample orientation and aid 3D image reconstruction Sulphur ions from exploding lysozyme proteins follow reproducible trajectories Top: schematic view of a VMI instrument. Bottom: Oxygen ions with four different initial velocities forming four rings on the detector in an experiment on ozone (images from Wikipedia) Reminder: there is also electronToF spectroscopy
Summary, sample Injector and Diagnostic Systems - What could we build and develop ? • Aerodynamic lens sample injector and catcher system • Laser-based injector and sample alignment system • Sample or pulse on demand systems • Fluorescence probe to characterize sample integrity during injection • Optical probes to record plasma emission at the interaction point • Ion-TOF instrumentation to characterize X-ray focus and sample fragmentation • Velocity Map Imaging (VMI) for measuring sample orientation from fragmentation • Electron-TOF instrument for measuring ionization dynamics (designed to be used singly or in coincidence with the ion-TOF or VMI) • Data acquisition system for flight time measurements • Native mass spectrometer (interfaced with the particle catcher/injector) for high-mass measurements Thank You
