In the last two years successful user and commissioning experiments were conducted at the High Energy Density instrument at the European XFEL.
These experiments were in different scientific fields like high-pressure using DAC, ultrafast x-ray heating, inelastic x-ray scattering, polarimetry and much more.
During the meeting, first results will be presented.

Installation of two major optical laser systems and corresponding experimental setup as well as diagnostic enhanced rapidly in 2020. These devices are provided by the HIBEF User Consortium lead by HZDR. The status of these installations and planned experimental platforms for 2021, such as a laser-shock and pulsed magnetic field setups, will be shown.
