  An electron bunch slicing setup is presently under construction on the SOLEIL storage ring. It is aimed to deliver 100 fs long photon pulses to two undulator-based beamlines operating with soft X-rays (TEMPO) and hard X-rays (CRISTAL). SOLEIL storage ring is equipped with a Ti:Sa laser which produces 30 fs pulses at 800 nm with a repetition rate of 2.5 kHz. The laser beam is splitted into two branches in order to provide 2 mJ to the modulator and 1 mJ as pump pulse for the CRISTAL and TEMPO end stations. Focusing optics and beam path, from the laser hutch to the inside of the storage ring tunnel are presently under finalization. The energy modulation will be done in a wiggler composed of 20 periods of 164 mm. It produces a magnetic field of 1.8 T at a minimum gap of 14.5 mm. The non-zero dispersion function present in all straight sections of the storage ring will enable to easily separate the sliced bunches from the core bunches at the beamlines' location. In this paper, we will report on the specificities of the SOLEIL setup, the status of its installation and the expected performances.

  LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short, intense, and coherent pulses in the soft X-ray region (with two particular targeted wavelengths of 20 and 13 nm on the fundamental wavelength). The project consists of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) line enabling the most advanced seeding configurations (High order Harmonic in Gas seeding and Echo Enable Harmonic Generation) and in-vacuum (potentially cryogenic) undulators of 15 and 30 mm period. Two accelerator types feed this FEL line : a Conventional Linear Accelerator (CLA) with superconducting cavities of 400 MeV for the investigations of the advanced FEL schemes, compatible with a future up-grade for high repetition rate; and a 0.4 - 1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA), to be qualified in view of FEL application, in the single spike or seeded regime. Two pilot user experiments for time-resolved studies of isolated species and solid state matter dynamics will take benefit of LUNEX5 FEL radiation and provide feedback of the performance of the different schemes under real user conditions.
