The sFLASH project at DESY is an experiment to study direct seeding using a source based on the high-harmonic generation (HHG) process. In contrast to SASE, a seeded FEL exhibits greatly improved longitudinal coherence and higher shot-to-shot stability (both spectral and energetic). In addition, the output of the seeded FEL is intrinsically synchronized to the HHG drive laser, thus enabling pump-probe experiments with a resolution of the order of 10 fs. The installation and successful commissioning of the sFLASH components in 2010/2011 has been followed by a planned upgrade in autumn 2011. As a result of these improvements, in spring 2012 direct HHG seeding at 38 nm has been successfully demonstrated. In this contribution, we describe the experimental layout and announce the first seeding at 38 nm.

The extension of the FLASH facility at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) - FLASH II Project - is under way. The extension includes a second undulator line with variable gap undulators to allow a more flexible operation, and a new experimental hall for photon experiments. The present FLASH linac will drive the both undulator beamlines. Civil construction of the new buildings has been started in autumn 2011 continuing in several steps until early 2013. The design of the new beamline including the extraction from the FLASH linac and the undulator is mostly finished, and the manufacturing of the components is under way. The mounting of the beamline will start in autumn 2012, and the commissioning with beam is scheduled for second half of 2013. We report here the design of the different phases of the project including the time schedule up to the first user operation.
