We are building a new endstation to explore the interaction of intense VUV and soft x-ray radiation with various targets of increasing complexity and size, ranging from atoms and (laser-aligned) molecules to nano-particles such as clusters and biological targets, by measuring fluorescent or scattered photons in coincidence with ions and electrons. The endstation is equipped with two large-area, single-photon counting pnCCD detectors and specially-designed ion and electron spectrometers (VMI or reaction microscope), which can detect all charged particles with a large solid angle and measure their kinetic energies and emission directions, while still providing an unrestricted line-of-sight from the interaction region to the photon detectors. Proposed applications of the endstation at FLASH and LCLS are presented.
