Abstract

The LASERIX facility has restarted operation in the middle of the year 2010. Since then, important work has been achieved on the XUV sources performance, reliability and stability, which lead to the construction of two beamlines. The first one is based on transient collisional soft X-ray laser. In the second one, the high order harmonic generation process is used to convert infrared laser into coherent XUV radiations. Characteristics and some recent works on both of them will be presented. Besides, a complete setup for pump-probe experiments has been developed and successfully tested. Some examples involving this device and dealing with plasma opacity, radiobiology and nanomagnetism will be presented. We will conclude this paper by a discussion on how application experiments can be turned into valuable diagnostics for XUV sources.
