Experimental experience gained at the extreme ultraviolet SASE FEL FLASH (DESY, Hamburg) has shown that successful operation of the facility strongly depends on the quality of the radiation detectors. Here key issues are: wide wavelength range (6 to 100 nm for FLASH), wide dynamic range (from the level of spontaneous emission to the saturation level), and high relative accuracy of measurements which is crucial for detection of a signature of amplification and characterization of statistical properties of the radiation. In this report we describe MCP-based radiation detector for FLASH which meets these requirements. Key element of the detector is wide dynamic range micro-channel plate (MCP) which detects scattered radiation from a target. With five different targets and MCPs in combination with optical attenuators present detector covers operating wavelength range from 6 to 100 nm, and dynamic range of the radiation intensities, from the level of spontaneous emission up to the saturation level of SASE FEL.

The Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) has started regular user operation in summer 2005, providing XUV radiation pulses with pulse energies in the 10 - 100 μJ range and pulse durations of 10 - 50 fs. The science programme at FLASH covers a broad range of novel applications including fundamental studies on atoms, ions, molecules and clusters, creation and characterisation of warm dense matter, diffraction imaging of nanoparticles, spectroscopy of bulk solids and surfaces, investigation of surface reactions and spin dynamics, and the development of advanced photon diagnostics and experimental techniques. So far, 16 science projects have been pursued involving approximately 200 scientists from 11 countries. Some of the research highlights will be presented.
