I. What is a hutch?

LCLS features seven (in flux due to installation of new hutches) specialized instrument hutches, each with a dedicated team of scientists and support staff, to conduct pioneering research and assist users with experiments. Each hutch is equipped with a suite of instruments to assist in gathering a wide range of data using various specialized techniques, from telltale signatures of electrons and ions to the intricate patterns left by crystallized samples struck by the X-ray laser.
