Widely tunable two-colour seeded free-electron laser source for resonant-pump resonant-probe magnetic scattering

Two-colour X-ray free electron laser is a powerful tool for pump–probe measurements, but currently constrained by limited tunability. Here, Ferrari et al. develop a configuration that allows tuning both the pump and the probe to specific electronic excitations, providing element selectivity.
