Session 4
The FLASH2020+ project, a major upgrade program for the high repetition rate XUV and soft X-ray free-electron laser FLASH at DESY, aims at significantly improving the FEL photon beam properties for users. Within the project, both existing FEL lines at FLASH will be equipped with fully tunable undulators capable of delivering photon pulses with variable polarization. One of the two FEL lines...
FERMI, the Italian free electron laser operating at Elettra (Trieste), has been in user operations for eight years.
During this timespan the number of beamlines and endstations has reached the project target (6), and continuous development of the machine has taken place, too. Currently, two calls for proposals are issued per year, offering users the possibility to perform experiments on both...
The European XFEL facility has entered user operation in September 2017. Since that time the baseline photon diagnostics are in routine operation, delivering online monitoring of pulse energies, beam position, and transverse beam profile. More advanced diagnostics such as monitors for spectral and temporal properties were also commissioned in the meantime. This presentation reviews the...
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) began user operations in 2009 and has performed over 500 full-scale user experiments with ever-expanded operating modes/capabilities. The facility recently emerged from a long down period where new electron transport, undulators, x-ray transport systems and x-ray instruments were installed. First commissioning results of these new systems will be...
