Abstract

The newly constructed Time-resolved atomic, Molecular and Optical science instrument (TMO), is configured to take full advantage of both linear accelerators at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the copper accelerator operating at a repetition rate of 120 Hz providing high per pulse energy, as well as the superconducting accelerator operating at a repetition rate of about 1 MHz providing high average intensity. Both accelerators build a soft X-ray free electron laser with the new variable gab undulator section. With this flexible light sources, TMO supports many experimental techniques not previously available at LCLS and will have two X-ray beam focus spots in line. Thereby, TMO supports Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO), strong-field and nonlinear science and will host a designated new dynamic reaction microscope with a sub-micron X-ray focus spot. The flexible instrument design is optimized for studying ultrafast electronic and molecular phenomena and can take full advantage of the sub-femtosecond soft X-ray pulse generation program.
