Preliminary Instrument Design Review
About the monochromator
PIDR Comments
In addition to XCS, the scientific scope has been widened to include small-angle x-ray scattering, SAXS, and wide-angle x-ray scattering, WAXS,
over 8-24 keV. This expansion may be difficult to realize with tight budget allocation. It may be advisable to split the low energy part and simplify
the high-energy effort. Particularly, the large energy range between 8-24 keV is a major cost-determining factor. The science team is advised to revisit this issue.
The committee was surprised to see the length and the number of optical components needed to bring the beam into the experimental area.
Because of the complexity of the LCSL machine, and the need for diagnostics over 450 m length of the beamline, the choice of 60 cm horizontal
off-set between XCS and CXI beamlines might drive the cost up. This should be re-visited after the exact locations of the XCS upstream
components are determined. In particular, the location of the monochromator at 200 m upstream of the sample position may prove to be too long of
a level arm, in addition to creating a need for a separate beam pipe and additional diagnostics.
The need for the horizontal deflecting monochromator to operate between 8-24 continuously should be revisited. A tunable monochromator
operating in the larger energy half of this energy range significantly complicates the design of the large offset monochromator, raises the cost of the
monochromator, and potentially compromises its stability yet it is not well justified. Instead a fixed energy monochromator operating at some
appropriate energy inside this upper energy range should be considered in addition to a tunable large offset monochromator operating in the
smaller energy half of the energy range. This approach is more consistent with likely beam split and delay systems that will eventually replace the
8.3keV fixed energy system.
The monochromator is supposed to be a common element, and to be duplicated for the XPS beamline, following a contingency plan. Thus any
change in scope or implementation is to be coordinated. It may be better to decouple the two instruments, and if in the end, they turn out to be the
same, two instruments can be ordered at once.
Post Review Resolution
The Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering sections were always in the scope of the XCS instrument over the full range of the hard X-ray beam
produced by LCLS (i.e 8-25keV). For now the SAXS section is however no longer in the scope of the XCS Instrument. The scientific capabilities of
the XCS Instrument were refined with the XCS Team Leaders. The high energy range is of importance for the science to be produced for the XCS
instrument, as it would allow widening the type of sample that could be experimentally investigated on the XCS instrument, as a result of smaller
issues regarding beam damage for higher energies. This will be re-emphasize during the next XCS Team Leader meeting to be held on Oct 19.
This issues will be discussed with the XCS Team Leaders on Oct 19. A new approach taking in consideration this recommendation will be
presented by the XCS-IIT.
The scheme to be presented to the XCS Team Leaders at the next XCS Team Leaders Meeting includes a change in the monochromatization
process.
The XCS-IIT appreciates the recommendation. To the extent possible both monochromator systems will be identical for the XCS and XPP
instrument. In case the requirements differ, the XCS-IIT is ready to design its own monochromator system.

About the monochromator
Updated Resolution
The Large Offset monochromator details were discussed during the XCS Team Leader
meeting (Oct 09)
The XCS team emphasized its interest in the large energy range of the LCLS spectrum and
identified it as an important science driver for the instrument.
The monochromator was relocated downstream the X-ray Transport Tunnel, as suggested
by the PIDR, but also other reviews.
The details of the specifications, cost and schedule and expected performances were
reviewed during an independent Advanced Procurement Review on April 23, 2009.
The comments from the Advanced Procurement Review were satisfactorily answered by
the XCS instrument team.
DoE Approval to proceed with the procurement of the Large Offset Monochromator was
provided on June 16, 2009.

Preliminary Instrument Design Review
About the Diffractometer/LADM
PIDR Comments
The long-arm detector mount, LADM, based on the APS-HERIX design, may be overkill in terms of stability and
resolution requirements, and therefore a design simplification is recommended for potential cost savings. Specifically,
for the XCS application only the detector position need be carefully controlled while the upstream end of the flight arm
can be designed with much coarser position control hence cost. The APS HERIX instrument had to line up five
elements (sample, slits, detector array, collimator and the analyzer array), thus the requirements were much more
stringent. LUSI_XCS team can relax the resolution and the repeatability requirements for the upstream set of stages,
and potentially save money.
For the LADM, pipe dimension should grow as the x-ray beam progresses towards the detector to minimize the total
weight.
The granite block to move the diffractometer should be either eliminated or replaced with a cheaper design
Post Review Resolution
The XCS-IIT agrees. Even if the Large Angle Detector Mover is based on the design of the HERIX spectrometer of
the Inelastic Scattering beamline of the Advanced Photon Source, its specifications are relaxed as compared to it.
The XCS-IIT will consider this recommendation in the design to the extent possible. For a certain degree of
modularity of the sample-detector distance, it might be convenient and cost-effective to combine both approaches.
More engineering design is required to evaluate that concept.
The XCS-IIT will also investigate different options and proceed to a detailed value engineering investigation of each
option.
Updated Resolution
The details of the specifications, cost and schedule and expected performances were reviewed during an
independent Advanced Procurement Review on April 23, 2009.
The comments from the Advanced Procurement Review were satisfactorily answered by the XCS instrument
team.

Preliminary Instrument Design Review
About the Split and Delay
PIDR Comments
One of the innovative aspects of the scientific program is to extend the time-resolved studies to nanosecond regime
by implementing a “split-and-delay” instrument. While this is an exciting prospect, and some early work in Europe
proves the feasibility for a fixed-wavelength, it remains to be seen if such an instrument can be developed fully
tunable over a large energy range. The committee feels that, if this is part of the scientific program, the “split-anddelay” instrument itself should be included in scope, cost and schedule.
The scientific opportunity to implement “split-and-delay” instrument is considered to be very important by our
committee, and therefore, every effort should be made to include the construction of this critical component in the
main program. However, it is also possible to consider a fixed-wavelength version of the instrument as Phase I, and
delay the tunable “split-and-delay” instrument to a later period, after the beamline is completed, and early science
experiments are done.
Post Review Resolution
The XCS-IIT agrees with the review committee and expressed the request to LUSI management.
The current plan for the XCS instrument is to get a first prototype of Split and Delay Unit which perform at fixed
energy. This prototype is provided by DESY via a SLAC/DESY MoU. The MoU also states that SLAC and DESY
should collaborate regarding the development of the next generation of Split and Delay unit (i.e tunable wavelength).
The details of this collaborations are not know yet in terms of its SLAC, LCLS, LUSI contribution. the XCS-IIT will
make every effort possible to develop this technology at the laboratory.
Updated Resolution
SLAC and DESY signed an Memorandum of Understanding describing the details of the Split and Delay (provided by
DESY ) to be installed and used at the XCS Instrument. The device is already commissioned. The MoU also
describes that DESY and SLAC will collaborate in the development of the next generation of split and delay ; i.e an
energy tunable in vacuum split and delay.

PIDR Comments
There is a concern that the LCLS electron-beam based source fluctuations may limit the scientific program for XCS.
Post Review Resolution
These issues are understood and were investigated by the XCSIIT. This justifies the presence of the whole suite of
diagnostics and apertures along the beam path, in order to transform any LCLS beam fluctuation into intensity
fluctuations. By measuring these fluctuations, with the appropriate diagnostics, one can then normalize the
experimentally measured data.
Updated Resolution
The LCLS is now commissioned and the expected beam fluctuations appear better than expected. The same
scheme, as the one previously described will be used.
PIDR Comments
Photon shutters after each diagnostic element is not necessary, and should be replaced with simple commercial
actuators with a steel block at the end.
Post Review Resolution
The XCS-IIT agrees. The recommended changes will be applied as soon as possible in the design of the XCS
instrument.
Updated Resolution
This has been implemented in the design.

PIDR Comments
Position sensitive detectors with 4-PIN diodes may not have the sensitivity at low photon flux. So the diagnostics
detectors should be re-considered. APD based system may prove to be a better alternative.
Post Review Resolution
This recommendation will be communicated to the Diagnostics and Common Optics Integrated Team in charge of the
design of the diagnostics. The XCS-IIT supports strongly this recommendation.
Updated Resolution
PIDR Comments
There seems to too many “coherence-reducing” optical elements in the way before the x-ray beam hits the sample.
We have counted some 20-bounces or filter transmissions. While the reduction in coherence at each element may be
tolerable, when there are so many, the net coherence degradation should be a concern. The team is advised to look
at this issue, and reduce the number of elements in the beam to a minimum.
Post Review Resolution
The total number of optical elements which may interact with the beam is effectively large, but is required for
alignment and commissioning purpose. In running mode of the XCS instrument (i.e while measuring experimental
data) the number of such elements is much less (2 bounces monochromator, 2 mirrors and 2 transmission
diagnostics only). These are in any case required to conduct the experiment. The optical quality, especially its
coherent preservation character is considered in the design of each of these elements, as required to conduct
experiment with coherent x-ray beams.
Updated Resolution
The optical quality of the elements required to be in the beam for running the experiment is monitored. For example,
this was tested for the split and delay unit (8 crystal bounces) and was measured to make negligible degradation of
the contrast of hard x-ray speckle patterns.

PIDR Comments
It was difficult to get a clean break down between instrument and effort costs, since some of the XCS instruments are
common with the other two LUSI beamlines. We advise to remove this uncertainty soon to keep the schedule and
cost tractable.
Post Review Resolution
The XCS-IIT agrees and will discuss this issue with LUSI management
Updated Resolution
The structure of the XCS instrument components within the LUSI project remained the same, except for the large
offset monochromator which is located in the WBS 1.5, but is managed by the XCS Instrument Integrated Team.
