The European XFEL Machine FAQ?
https://slacportal.slac.stanford.edu/sites/lclscore_public/Lists/LCLS_FAQ/FAQ.aspx
See, for example, LCLS Machine FAQ
� What is the photon energy range and how long does it take to switch?� What is the highest pulse energy available (number of photons in the
pulse) and how does it vary with photon energy and pulse length?� What is the x-ray pulse length, how long does it take to change it, and
how does the pulse energy and peak power vary with pulse length?� How does the x-ray transverse beam size vary with photon energy and
electron peak current settings?� What are the temporal characteristics of the x-ray pulse, including
number of spikes, spike duration, peak power in each spike, and how does this vary with photon energy and peak current?
