Abstract

New fourth-generation synchrotron radiation facilities bring large gains in X-ray source brightness, but also challenges in making full use of their potentials. Some of these challenges have been faced at X-ray free-electron laser facilities.

Keywords: Editorial; X-ray free-electron lasers; fourth-generation light sources; multibend achromats; synchrotron radiation facilities.
