Join our team

European XFEL is an international non-profit company located in the Hamburg area in Germany. It operates a 3.4 km-long X-ray laser, which produces X-rays of unique quality for studies in physics, chemistry, the life sciences, materials research and other disciplines. The diverse scientific facilities at European XFEL enable scientists from across the globe to carry out a wide range of experimental techniques.

The SXP Instrument, currently under construction, aims to perform time-resolved experiments in the soft X-ray energy range, 0.3 – 3.0 keV. Envisioned as an open port where external users can bring their experimental setups, the main experiment technique to be implemented is time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on solids.
