A cross-correlator-based timing tool for FemtoMAX by D. Kroon, E. Nilsson, B. Ahn, M. Bertelli, R. Calarco, I. Clementsson, S. De Simone, J. C. Ekström, A. Jurgilaitis, M. Longo, V. T. Pham, J. Larsson

“…In this case, one of the beams is a relatively weak diagnostic beam of visible light from a bending magnet at FemtoMAX (106 photons pulse−1 in a 0.2 mm high and 5 mm wide beam) while the other is a relatively intense laser beam (200 µJ pulse−1) derived from the same laser that is used to pump the sample in pump/probe experiments. This enables online monitoring of the relative timing of a linear accelerator-based, short-pulse, hard X-ray source and a synchronized visible laser. …”
