Liquidrom is a vacuum system dedicated to x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) for liquid samples. The system is equipped with time-of-flight (TOF) electron energy analyzer and GaAs photodiode as electron and photon detectors respectively. Intense laser pulses, synchronized with the synchrotron x-ray pulses (only in single bunch mode), are often employed in Liquidrom system to excite (pump) samples by laser and successively (within nanoseconds) measure (probe) samples by x-ray in order to study the dynamic properties of various liquid phase molecules in strong laser field (Pump-Probe experiment).
