Krypton clusters in the focus of the LCLS X-ray laser — •Marcus Adolph1, Tais Gorkhover1, Sebastian Schorb1, Christoph Bostedt2, Thomas Möller1, and team CAMP3 — 1IOAP TU-Berlin, Hardenbergstrasse 36, 10623 Berlin — 2LCLS, Stanford — 3see ref [1]
With the development of short wavelength Free-Electron-Lasers (FEL) a new tool for the analysis of matter-light interaction is available. Very recently, at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the Linac Coherent Light-Source (LCLS) came into operation. LCLS produces 5 fs to 400 fs, super-intense X-Ray pulses in the regime from 800 eV up to 2 keV.
During our first experiments at LCLS we studied the interaction of LCLS pulses with rare gas clusters. With large pnCCD detectors [1] single shot scattering patterns of single clusters were recorded and combined with time of flight data of highly charged cluster fragments. This contribution will present first results for krypton clusters. The ionisation dynamics of krypton clusters irradiated above and below the L1 edge will be compared.
