NW14A is a newly constructed undulator beamline for 100 ps time‐resolved X‐ray experiments at the Photon Factory Advanced Ring. This beamline was designed to conduct a wide variety of time‐resolved X‐ray measurements, such as time‐resolved diffraction, scattering and X‐ray absorption fine structure. Its versatility is allowed by various instruments, including two undulators, three diffractometers, two pulse laser systems and an X‐ray chopper. The potential for the detection of structural changes on the 100 ps time scale at NW14A is demonstrated by two examples of photo‐induced structural changes in an organic crystal and photodissociation in solution.
