  The Hard X-ray Self-seeding system (HXRSS) at the European XFEL provides users with longitudinally coherent X-ray FEL pulses with narrow bandwidth and high spectral density. With this setup we have achieved a maximum spectral density of about 1 mJ/eV at 9 keV. Combined with the MHz repetition rate, it opens up exciting new opportunities in a wide range of scientific fields. However, the increasing user demand and expectations also poses challenges in machine tuning and operation parameter ranges. We will summarize the HXRSS performance we have achieved and the user delivery experiences in the last two years.

  X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have paved the way for significant advancements in attosecond science by generating intense, ultrashort pulses. We are currently developing AttoSecond Pulses with eSASE and Chirp-Taper schemes (ASPECT) project at the European XFEL, designed to exploit these capabilities. In its initial stages, ASPECT will be used to produce attosecond-long pulses at two out of the three SASE lines at the European XFEL: SASE1 and SASE3, dedicated to producing hard and soft x-rays respectively. In this presentation, we will report design studies and preliminary experimental results at the European XFEL.
