A Soft X-ray FEL (the SXL) using the existing 3 GeV linac at the MAX IV Laboratory is currently in the design phase. In this contribution, start-to-end simulations, including the photo-injector simulations using ASTRA, the linac simulations using ELEGANT and the FEL simulations using GENESIS, are presented for 100 pC and 10 pC operation modes. The features of the electron beam from the MAX IV linac and their impact on the FEL performance are discussed.

A Soft X-ray FEL (the SXL) is currently being designed at the MAX IV Laboratory. In the work to adapt the FEL to the scientific cases several advanced options are being studied for coherence enhancement, generation of short pulses and two-color pulses. We will discuss the current status and the schemes studied, especially regarding the FEL performance with the features of the MAX IV linac, including a positive energy chirp.

The Soft X-ray Laser (SXL) currently being studied at MAX IV Laboratory is envisioned to produce coherent radiation in the 1-5 nm wavelength range. In this contribution, we present the results of simulations aimed at adding to the SXL an Echo Enabled Harmonic Generation scheme, which has been shown to increase the coherence of FELs in the Soft X-ray regime. Our work puts special emphasis on accommodating the positive energy chirp of the electron bunch coming out of the MAX IV Linac and on generating sufficient bunching at the high harmonics necessary for covering the full wavelength range.

  By analyzing the spectral content of FEL electron radiation, we can gain new information about the properties of the electron bunch and on the FEL process itself. In this work, we present a peak detection algorithm and its capabilities in characterizing the spectra of seeded FEL.

A Soft X-ray Laser project (the SXL) aiming to produce FEL radiation in the range of 1 to 5 nm is currently in a conceptual design phase and a report on the design is expected to be delivered by March 2021. The FEL will be driven by the existing 3 GeV linac at MAX IV laboratory, which also serves as injector for the two storage rings. The science case has been pushed by a large group of mainly Swedish users and consists of experiments ranging from AMO physics to condensed matter, chemistry and imaging in life science. In this contribution, we will present the current conceptual design of the accelerator and the FEL operation modes together with a general overview of the beamline and experimental station. In particular design options for the FEL will be discussed in conjunction with the features of the electron beam from the MAX IV linac and the connection with the proposed experiments.
