X-ray Photon Beam Diagnostics Devices for the Commissioning and User Operation of the Multi-Undulator facility European XFEL — •Jan Grünert, Cigdem Ozkan, Bin Li, Wolfgang Freund, Jens Buck, and Serguei Molodtsov — European XFEL GmbH, Albert-Einstein-Ring 19, 22761 Hamburg, Germany

The X-ray Free-Electron-Lasers (XFELs) LCLS [1], SACLA [2], and the European XFEL [3] open new opportunities in the research of very small structures and at the same time extremely fast phenomena (Ångström and femtosecond resolution). Unlike pulses from a conventional laser radiation is here created by Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission when electron bunches pass through very long segmented undulators. Shot noise at the origin of this process leads to pulse-to-pulse variations of intensity, spectrum, wavefront, etc. Any XFEL diagnostics is susceptible to single-shot damage due to the extreme brilliance. Apart from the large facility energy range (280eV to 25keV), the particular challenge for the European XFEL diagnostics is the 4.5 MHz intra-bunchtrain repetition rate, causing additional damage by high heatloads and making shot-to-shot diagnostics very demanding [3]. We report on concepts [4,5], developments, and compromises between resolution/accuracy and energy range / shot-to-shot capabilities.
