​​​The XH system is currently deployed at the High Power Laser Facility (HPLF), which is part of beamline ID24 at the Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble (FR). This facility combines a high-power laser with the hard X-ray beams of a 4th generation synchrotron to perform dynamic compression experiments. Extreme conditions of pressure and temperature are created in matter. These transient physical states are short-lived and are used to study the structure and properties of substances in a variety of conditions. These investigations address scientific questions in solid-state physics, materials science and energy science. The system is commercially available via Quantum Detectors Ltd.​​​​
