Description

In this poster insights are given on some examples of 2025 Upgrades and Experimental Setups at the MID instrument of European XFEL.
The latest design and implementation status of MID Multi-Purpose Chamber (MPC-2) Project are reported. This represents a set of upgrades and ongoing development of MID instrumentation, as well as the evolution of the current multi-purpose chamber, which has been successfully used at MID since the first experiments in 2019. The aim is to enable new types of scientific experiments and to expand the current capabilities. The MPC-2 Project includes:
MPC-2 VESSEL Upgrade. We indicate here the most recent concept design status.
MPC-2 INTERIOR Upgrade (MPC-2_IU). This consists of the following assemblies represented here: Bread-board Assembly, Laser In-coupling 2 (LIC-2), 2-theta Circle.
Another aim of the MPC_2 Project is to make operation of experiments easier with better access to sample environments (Pulsed Magnet (PUMA), Cryostat, Fast Solid Sample Scanner (FSSS), Diffractometer, Liquid Injector), and possibilities to install new ancillary equipment included in the MPC-2 INTERIOR Upgrade.
Reported are also examples of last recent EXPERIMENTAL SETUPS, continuing in the direction of simultaneous multi-detector-use.
