A key strength of the science program at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is the ability to leverage two X-ray sources: the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS -XFEL) and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL - synchrotron) with complementary strengths and weaknesses. Here we will highlight research that has been made possible by the synergy of the two co-located facilities. Specifically, science at the LCLS that has been enabled by (preliminary, concomitant, subsequent) experiments at SSRL and vice versa.
