| Abstract | The Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO) science end-station for the LCLS is currently under construction and will be installed in the first hutch of the Near Experimental Hall (NEH) next year to be ready for first light in summer 2009. The AMO instrumentation has been designed to study the fundamental interactions of the ultra-intense and ultra-fast pulses of x-rays from the LCLS with the simplest forms of matter, individual atoms, molecules and clusters. In addition to focusing optics, two experimental chambers are planned, one to study the products of the interaction of the LCLS pulse with the sample, and a second to measure the properties of the LCLS light on a pulse-by-pulse basis. An external laser, synchronized to the LCLS pulses, will enable pump-probe and two-color experiments in the AMO instrument. In addition to a description of the instrumentation, a brief discussion of the science enabled by the LCLS and AMO instrument will be presented. |

| Abstract | An end-station designed for AMO experiments at the LCLS is currently being built. It includes focusing optics to maximize the peak intensity of the ultra-intense x-ray pulse from the LCLS; an experimental chamber with a skimmed gas jet, electron and ion spectrometers; and a diagnostics chamber with a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer, a pulse energy monitor and far field beam viewing screens. A synchronized pulsed Ti:sapphire laser will also be available along with the equipment to deliver the beam into either or both chambers. The AMO instrumentation will be located on one of the soft x-ray branches of the LCLS and housed in the first hutch in the near experimental hall. Characteristics of the instrumentation and its expected performance will be presented in greater detail than in the main meeting talk. |
