The first x-ray Free-Electron Laser came online this fall at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The AMO beamline of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) delivers ultra-intense extremely short x-ray pulses down to a few femtoseconds pulse duration at photon energies of 0.8 to 2 keV. The Max Planck Advanced Study Group (ASG) at the Center for Free Electron Laser Science (CFEL) has designed a multi-purpose experimental end station (CFEL-ASG Multi-Purpose chamber - CAMP) especially adapted for the use of unique large-area, single-photon counting pnCCD detectors, developed by the Max Planck Institute semiconductor laboratory, together with advanced many-particle ion and electron imaging spectrometers (reaction microscope; velocity map imaging). The general layout and capabilities of the CAMP instrument will be reviewed and results of the successful instrument commissioning that took place during early LCLS user runs in fall 2009 will be reported. In addition, a brief overview of the first LCLS experiments conducted in CAMP will be given.
