Aberration correction electron optics and cold field-emission electron source made the transmission electron microscope (TEM) a popular tool to image atomic and nano-scale objects. Cryogenic electron microscopy (Cryo-EM) revolutionized the bio-structure science, and recently it is explored to investigate radiation-sensitive battery and energy materials. But non- physiological environments,...
FERMI is the seeded Free Electron Laser (FEL) user facility at Elettra laboratory in Trieste, operating in the VUV to soft X-rays spectral range. In order to extend the FEL spectral range to shorter wavelengths, an upgrade plan for increasing the Linac energy from 1.5 GeV to 2.0 GeV is actually going on. After the successful testing of the short prototype of the new high gradient (HG) S-band...
The Hard X-ray Self-seeding system at the European XFEL started to be available for user delivery in summer 2021. A large number of user requests of HXRSS showed the interest and the importance of longitudinally coherent X-ray FEL pulses with narrow bandwidth for different applications. In this paper, we will summarize user requirements, tuning procedures and performance we achieved during...
