Atom specific view of chemical reaction at surfaces/interfaces“ultrafast soft x-ray probe” Does it work? In 2010, LCLS SXR has opened up a new area in surface chemistry opens up to follow electronic structure changes of species on ultrafast time scales Lessons learned: XES: Low cross section We need high peak power & high resolution monochromatic beam and high efficiency x-ray spectrograph. PES: Space charge Do we really need LCLS? LCLS-SXR worked! Future: Photon-in photon out ultrafast soft x-ray surface science station for in-situ and operando studies
