Results from CXLS commissioning

The Compact X-ray Light Source (CXLS) is a compact source of femtosecond pulses of x-rays that is now commissioning in the hard x-ray energy range 6-20 keV. It collides the electron beam from recently developed X-band distributed-coupling, room-temperature, standing-wave linacs and photoinjectors operating at 1 kHz repetition rates and 9300 MHz RF frequency with a Yb:YAG 1030 nm laser beam operating at high peak and average power at 1 kHz repetition rate with pulse energy up to 200 mJ. We present the performance of the CXLS accelerator, laser, and timing systems, and initial x-ray results.
