	One of the key challenges in scientific researches based on free-electron lasers (FELs) is the characterization of the coherence time of the ultra-fast hard x-ray pulse, which fundamentally influences the interaction process between x-ray and materials. Conventional optical methods, based on autocorrelation, is very difficult to realize due to the lack of mirrors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a conceptually new coherence time characterization method and a coherence time of 174.7 attoseonds has been measured for the 6.92 keV FEL pulses at Linac Coherent Light Source. In our experiment, a phase shifter is adopted to control the cross-correlation between x-ray and microbunched electrons. This approach provides critical temporal coherence diagnostics for x-ray FELs, and is decoupled from machine parameters, applicable for any photon energy, radiation brightness, repetition rate and FEL pulse duration, etc. The work was supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE) under contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 and the US DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program grant FWP-2013-SLAC-100164.

One of the key challenges in scientific researches based on free-electron lasers (FELs) is the characterization of the coherence time of the ultra-fast hard x-ray pulse, which fundamentally influences the interaction process between x-ray and materials. Conventional optical methods, based on autocorrelation, is very difficult to realize due to the lack of mirrors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a conceptually new coherence time characterization method and a coherence time of 174.7 attoseonds has been measured for the 6.92 keV FEL pulses at Linac Coherent Light Source. In our experiment, a phase shifter is adopted to control the cross-correlation between x-ray and microbunched electrons. This approach provides critical temporal coherence diagnostics for x-ray FELs, and is decoupled from machine parameters, applicable for any photon energy, radiation brightness, repetition rate and FEL pulse duration, etc.
