	K. Honkavaara, B. Faatz, J. Feldhaus, S. Schreiber, R. Treusch, M. Vogt DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Since 10 years FLASH at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) has provided high brilliance FEL radiation at XUV and soft X-ray wavelengths for user experiments. Recently FLASH has been upgraded with a second undulator beamline, FLASH2, whose commissioning takes place in parallel of the user operation on FLASH1. This paper summarizes the performance of the FLASH facility during the last user period from January 2014 to April 2015.

TUA04	First Simultaneous Operation of Two Sase Beamlines in FLASH	297
	M. Scholz, B. Faatz, S. Schreiber, J. Zemella DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	FLASH2, the second undulator beamline of the FLASH FEL user facility at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) is under commissioning. Its first lasing was achieved in August 2014. FLASH is the first soft X-ray FEL operating two undulator beamlines simultaneously. Both undulator beamlines are driven by a common linear superconducting accelerator with a beam energy of up to 1.25 GeV. Fast kickers and a septum are installed to distribute one part of the electron bunch train to FLASH1 and the other part to FLASH2 with full repetition rate. The commissioning of FLASH2 takes place primarily in parallel to FLASH1 user operation. Various beam optics measurements has been carried out in order to ensure the required electron beam quality for efficient SASE generation. This paper reports the status of the FLASH2 commissioning.

	High brightness electron sources for free electron lasers like FLASH and the European XFEL are developed, optimized and characterized at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ). Last year the facility was significantly upgraded with a new prototype photocathode laser capable of producing homogeneous ellipsoidal pulses. Previous simulations have shown that the corresponding pulses produce high brightness electron bunches with minimized emittance. Furthermore, a new normal conducting RF gun cavity was installed with a modified two-window waveguide RF feed layout for stability and reliability tests, as required for the European XFEL. Other relevant additions to the facility include beamline modifications for improved electron beam transport through the PITZ accelerator, refinement of both the cooling and RF systems for improved parameter stability, and preparations for the installation of a plasma cell. This paper describes the facility upgrades and reports on the operational experience with the new components.

TUP041	Simultaneous Operation of Three Laser Systems at the FLASH Photoinjector	459
	S. Schreiber, C. Grün, K. Klose, J. Rönsch-Schulenburg, B. Steffen DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	The free-electron laser facility FLASH at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) operates two undulator beamlines simultaneously. Both undulator beamlines are driven by a common linear superconducting accelerator with a beam energy of up to 1.25 GeV. The superconducting technology allows the acceleration of trains of several hundred microsecond spaced bunches with a repetition rate of 10 Hz. A fast kickers-septum system is installed to distribute one part of the electron bunch train to FLASH1 and the other part to FLASH2 keeping the full 10 Hz repetition rate for both beamlines. In order to deliver different beam properties to each beamline, the FLASH photoinjector uses two independent laser systems to generate different bunch pattern and bunch charges. One laser serves the FLASH1 beamline, the other the FLASH2 beamline. A third laser with adjus ö laser pulse duration is used to generate ultra-short bunches for single spike lasing.

TUP042	Lifetime of Cs2Te Cathodes Operated at the FLASH Facility	464
	S. Schreiber, S. Lederer DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	The injector of the free-electron laser facility FLASH at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) uses Cs2Te photocathodes. We report on the lifetime, quantum efficiency (QE), and darkcurrent of photocathodes operated at FLASH during the last year. Cathode 618.3 has been operated for a record of 439 days with a stable QE in the order of 3%. The fresh cathode 73.3 shows an enhancement of emitted electrons for a few microseconds of a 1 MHz pulse train.
