Fluid sample injectors for x-ray free electron laser at SACLA
Abstract
This paper provides a review on sample injectors which are provided at SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) for conducting serial measurement in a ‘diffract-before-destroy’ scheme using an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL). Versatile experimental platforms at SACLA are able to accept various types of injectors, among which liquid-jet, droplet and viscous carrier injectors are frequently utilized. These injectors produce different forms of fluid targets such as a liquid filament with a diameter in the order of micrometer, micro-droplet synchronized to XFEL pulses, and slowly flowing column of highly viscous fluid with a rate below $1~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{L}~\text{min}^{-1}$ . Characteristics and applications of the injectors are described.
