A compact hard X-ray FEL facility is proposed based on self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) scheme, which is aiming at generating 0.1nm coherent intense hard X-ray laser with the total facility length less than 600m. To reach this goal, low emittance S-band photo cathode injector, high gradient C-band linear accelerator and short period cryogenic undulator are used. Simulation results show that 0.1nm coherent hard X-ray FEL with peak power up to 10GW can be generated from a 50-m-long undulator when the slice emittance of the electron beam is about 0.4mm-mrad. The energy of the electron beam is only 6.4GeV which is available in accelerator length of 230m with the help of 40MV/m C-band rf system. This paper describes the physic design of this ultra-compact hard X-ray FEL facility.
