“…2.4). 90% of the main laser beam is reflected from the beamsplitter and directed to the HHG beamline [40]. In this beamline, the driving laser beam is loosely focused to a gas cell to generate high harmonics in the 5 − 120 nm wavelength range (photon energies 10 − 250 eV).…”

“…For experiments at the MAC end-station that require a monochromatized beam, a time-preserving grating monochromator is implemented [21,40,42,43] grating in an off-plane diffraction geometry. With this geometry the wavefront tilt is less pronounced than in a classical diffraction mount [42,43], see Table 1.…”

“…The L1 Allegra laser system is an in-house development program to deliver 100 mJ laser pulses of < 15 fs pulse duration at ∼830 nm central wavelength and 1 kHz repetition rate [39]. This laser system can be used to drive a high-intensity XUV beamline based on HHG in gas targets [40,41]. Here we present the technical design and the current status of the MAC end-station: a Multipurpose station for AMO sciences and CDI for user experiments with intense HHG pulses.…”

We report on the status of a users’ end-station, MAC: a Multipurpose station for Atomic, molecular and optical sciences and Coherent diffractive imaging, designed for studies of structure and dynamics of matter in the femtosecond time-domain. MAC is located in the E1 experimental hall on the high harmonic generation (HHG) beamline of the ELI Beamlines facility. The extreme ultraviolet beam from the HHG beamline can be used at the MAC end-station together with a synchronized pump beam (which will cover the NIR/Vis/UV or THz range) for time-resolved experiments on different samples. Sample delivery systems at the MAC end-station include a molecular beam, a source for pure or doped clusters, ultrathin cylindrical or flat liquid jets, and focused beams of substrate-free nanoparticles produced by an electrospray or a gas dynamic virtual nozzle combined with an aerodynamic lens stack. We further present the available detectors: electron/ion time-of-flight and velocity map imaging spectrometers and an X-ray camera, and discuss future upgrades: a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer, production of doped nanodroplets and the planned developments of beam capabilities at the MAC end-station.

“…The HHG Beamline (see schematics in Fig. 1), as a source of coherent XUV radiation with femtosecond pulses based on high-order harmonic generation in noble gases that is driven by kilohertz laser drivers [4], [5], has been routinely employed for user experiments. Although the beamline is designed to accommodate up to 100 mJ laser pulses, the L1 laser currently provides a maximum pulse energy of 30 mJ for HHG.…”

Three main paths have been selected within the ELI Beamlines research program for transforming driving laser pulses into brilliant beams of short wavelength radiation: High-order harmonic generation in gases, Plasma X-ray sources, and sources based on relativistic electron beams accelerated in laser-plasma. For each of these research areas, dedicated beamlines are built to provide a unique combination of X-ray sources to the user community. The employment of these beamlines has a well-defined balance between fundamental science and applications in different fields of science and technology. Besides those beamlines, a plasma betatron radiation source driven by the PW-class HAPLS laser system is being commissioned in the plasma physics platform to serve as a unique diagnostic tool for dense plasma and warm dense matter probing.
