The Tender X-ray Instrument will be the newest instrument to come online at LCLS. It will offer a capability that is offered nowhere else in the world: the ability to overlap two high intensity X-ray pulses from two separate undulators. This capability opens new avenues of developing nonlinear methods for X-ray as well as testing fundamental concepts in physics and chemistry. The workshop will detail the parameters of the Tender X-ray instrument as well as open a discussion on applications and method development.
