The Laser Infrastructure at the SXP instrument of the European XFEL

Abstract This contribution presents the laser infrastructure concept of Soft X-ray Port (SXP) instrument at European Free Electron Laser (XFEL) for day one operation. scientific platform is conceived as an open port complementing scope other two, already operating baseline instruments SASE 3 soft x-ray undulator focusing on atomic, molecular and non-linear optical (SQS) well condensed matter physics (SCS). The main driving force behind SXP originates from time-resolved photo-electron spectroscopy community contemplating key questions in dynamics materials science interfaces. Nonetheless, proposals to investigate high-valent metal intermediates biological inorganic catalysts chemical bond activation by means fluorescence research highly charged ions light astrophysics are also pursued. outstanding capabilities XFEL pave way ultrafast pump-probe investigations combining intense tunable X-rays with versatile capabilities, which provided two synchronized femtosecond systems, whose wavelength ranges can be extended into infrared extreme ultraviolet region.
