1. A method, comprising:
directing a first light beam to intersect with a charged particle beam at a first location in a first region to produce a first x-ray beam;
detecting a position on a detector where at least a portion of the first x-ray beam impinges; and
determining a timing synchronization of the charged particle beam relative to the first light beam based on the position.
