Organization
PAL-XFEL is the hard X-ray free-electron laser at Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (EXT-017). It provides femtosecond X-ray pulses for time-resolved diffraction and scattering experiments.
Access status
- Level: yellow (
Negotiated Access) - Rationale: PAL-XFEL hard X-ray FEL user facility; international beamtime access.

Relationship to DePaul
DePaul Physics ultrafast x-ray research (Eric Landahl, CSH-007) includes experiments at PAL-XFEL documented in peer-reviewed publications (full-text facility pass, July 2026). DePaul does not operate XFEL beamtime allocations.
Verification
- Status: likely (
~) - Confidence: 75/100
- Rationale: XFEL sub-facility resource for publication-evidence extraction; pub links pending curator review.
- Last verified: 2026-07-01
- Evidence:
- Curator — DePaul ultrafast x-ray program uses PAL-XFEL (distinct from Euro XFEL affiliation-only papers)
- PAL facility documentation

Notes
Distinguish from European XFEL: co-authorship with Euro XFEL-affiliated authors does not imply facility use without explicit beamtime acknowledgment in publication text.
