We report on the status of a users’ end-station, MAC: a Multipurpose station for Atomic, molecular and optical sciences and Coherent diffractive imaging, designed for studies of structure and dynamics of matter in the femtosecond time-domain. MAC is located in the E1 experimental hall on the high harmonic generation (HHG) beamline of the ELI Beamlines facility. The extreme ultraviolet beam from the HHG beamline can be used at the MAC end-station together with a synchronized pump beam (which will cover the NIR/Vis/UV or THz range) for time-resolved experiments on different samples. Sample delivery systems at the MAC end-station include a molecular beam, a source for pure or doped clusters, ultrathin cylindrical or flat liquid jets, and focused beams of substrate-free nanoparticles produced by an electrospray or a gas dynamic virtual nozzle combined with an aerodynamic lens stack. We further present the available detectors: electron/ion time-of-flight and velocity map imaging spectrometers and an X-ray camera, and discuss future upgrades: a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer, production of doped nanodroplets and the planned developments of beam capabilities at the MAC end-station.

我们报告了用户终端站 MAC 的状态：用于原子、分子和光学科学以及相干衍射成像的多用途站，专为研究飞秒时域中的物质结构和动力学而设计。MAC 位于 ELI 光束线设施的高次谐波生成 (HHG) 光束线上的 E1 实验大厅。来自 HHG 光束线的极紫外光束可在 MAC 终端站与同步泵浦光束（将覆盖 NIR/Vis/UV 或 THz 范围）一起用于不同样品的时间分辨实验。MAC 终端站的样品输送系统包括分子束、纯或掺杂簇的源、超薄圆柱形或扁平液体射流、以及由电喷雾或气体动态虚拟喷嘴与空气动力学透镜堆栈相结合产生的无基材纳米粒子的聚焦光束。我们进一步介绍了可用的探测器：电子/离子飞行时间和速度图成像光谱仪和 X 射线相机，并讨论了未来的升级：磁瓶电子光谱仪、掺杂纳米液滴的生产和光束能力的计划发展MAC 终端站。
