TY - CPAPER AU - Decking, W. TI - Status of the European XFEL J2 - Proc. of FEL2015 AB - The European XFEL is under construction in the Hamburg region, Germany. The 3.3 km long facility aims at providing FEL radiation in the range from 260 eV up to 24 keV out of three undulators that can be operated simultaneously with up to 27000 pulses/second. The FEL is driven by a 17.5 GeV linear accelerator based on TESLA-type superconducting accelerator modules. This paper gives an update on the project status and an outlook towards the commissioning and fist operation. PB - JACoW CY - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
