Abstract: The MAC end-station at the ELI Beamlines facility is a multipurpose user’s station for atomic, molecular, and optical sciences and coherent diffractive imaging. The technical design of the station, the available instruments, and an overview of the whole beamline have been published in Eur. Phys. J. Spec. Top. 230, 4183 (2021). Here, we address ongoing upgrades of the MAC end-station that will provide users with advanced capabilities for beam manipulation and electron/ion detection. The upgrades include (i) the installation of a beam preparation chamber in front of the MAC chamber, (ii) a magnetic bottle electron spectrometer with high collection and detection efficiency and high energy resolution, and (iii) an event-driven TPX3CAM detector for velocity map imaging spectrometer, which provides both spatial and temporal information for each pixel. We present results from the first commissioning measurements with these instruments, confirming their performance for state-of-the-art experiments in atomic, molecular, and optical sciences.
