LCLS-II is a transformative upgrade for energy science, qualitatively changing the way that X-ray imaging, scattering and spectroscopy can be used to study how natural and artificial systems function. The upgrade empowers LCLS to produce X-ray pulses that are 10,000 times brighter than before and that arrive up to a million times per second.
