  Radiation detectors based on microchannel plates (MCP) are used for characterization of the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) radiation and measurements of the Self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) gain curve at the European XFEL. Photon pulse energies are measured by the MCPs with an anode and by a photodiode. There is one MCP-based detector unit installed in each of the three photon beamlines downstream of the SASE1, SASE2, and SASE3 undulators. MCP detectors operate in a wide dynamic range of pulse energies, from the level of spontaneous emission up to FEL saturation. Their wavelength operation range overlaps with the whole range of radiation wavelengths of SASE1 and SASE2 (from 0.05 nm to 0.4 nm), and SASE3 (from 0.4 nm to 5 nm). In this paper we present results of SASE gain-curve measurements by the MCP-based detectors.

  Free electron laser facilities, such as the European XFEL, make increasingly high demands on the longterm temporal stability and uniformity of the electron bunches, as pump-probe experiments meanwhile aim for timing stabilities of few femtoseconds residual jitter only. For a beam-based feedback control of the linear accelerator, electro-optical bunch arrival-time monitors are deployed, achieving a time resolution better than 3 fs. In a first attempt, we recently demonstrated a beam-based feedback system, reducing the arrival time jitter of the electron bunches to the 10 fs level with stable operation over hours. For pump-probe experiments it is crucial to equally verify this new level of precision in the FEL pulse arrival time with independent methods. In this work, we are discussing first results from examining the facility-wide temporal stability at the European XFEL, with attention to the contributions of various sub-systems and on the different time scales.
