  After almost 15 years of openation, XFELs are well-established light sources for addressing many problems in science. However, most FEL facilities are relatively large to reach the beam energies and geometric emittancs needed to lase at higher photon energy. Furthermore, the XFEL can only serve one or a few users at at time. At Argonne National Laboratory, we have initiated a research program to address some of these issues. We report on our program develop independent undulator arrays to allow more simultaneous users. We are developing a compact Adjustable Phase Undulator that have a compact transverse footprint and a superconducting undulator design with multiple undulators per cryostat. In addition, we report on a new concept for an ultrolow emittance electron gun which reaches fields several times higher than existing guns. This is achieved by generating <10 nsec RF pulses similar to other two-beam accelerator concepts.

  A joint SLAC/ANL development program is underway at the LCLS to demonstrate the advantages of SCUs for FEL beamlines. SCUs offer significant advantages for future FEL beam lines in gain length, wavelength reach, and tunability. The program leverages the storage ring SCUs developed at ANL and addresses the issues of integration in FELs and attaining the necessary micron precision for BBA. Our new modular cryomodule design is extendable to a full-length FEL and integrates the additional FEL components such as the phase shifter, quadrupole and RFBPM into the cold mass to achieve a high packing fraction and minimize the average gain length. Initially, 2 such cryomodules will be installed as afterburners at the end of the existing hard x-ray FEL beam line at the LCLS in order to measure the gain length and validate the beam based alignment procedure based on precision motion control of the cold mass internal to the cryomodule. We report on the status of the testing of these critical components on our precision alignment test stand, and discuss future plans for multiple FEL beamlines to be housed in a single cryomodule as part of the future LCLS expansion program for more user stations.
