One of the scientific fields is the investigation of extreme high energy density states driven by high-energy and high-intensity lasers at a repetition rate of up to 10 Hz. To operate the laser systems and align the laser pulses with the X-ray pulses strong requirements to the environment like temperature stability and low vibrations are requested. The laser induced radiation requires heavy concrete shielding and also has influences to the layout of the interaction chamber. A second interaction area is prepared for further scientific set-ups that cannot be hosted in the main interaction chamber provided by external scientific groups e.g. the HIBEF user consortium.
