  FLASH is the superconducting soft X-ray Free Electron Laser in Hamburg at DESY, Germany. A precise knowledge of the beam optics is a key aspect of the operation of a SASE FEL. A campaign of optics consolidation has started in 2013 when the second beam line FLASH2 was installed downstream of the FLASH linac. We give an update on progress of this effort and on recent results.

FLASHForward is a beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration facility, currently under construction at DESY (Hamburg, Germany), aiming at the stable generation of electron beams of several GeV with small energy spread and emittance. High-quality 1 GeV-class electron beams from the free-electron laser FLASH will act as the wake driver. The setup will allow studies of external injection as well as density-downramp injection. With a triangular-shaped driver beam electron energies of up to 5 GeV from a few centimeters of plasma can be anticipated. Particle-In-Cell simulations are used to assess the feasibility of each technique and to predict properties of the accelerated electron bunches. In this contribution the current status of FLASHForward, along with recent experimental developments and upcoming scientific plans, will be reviewed.
