ED - Schaa, Volker RW TI - First Heating with the European XFEL Laser Heater J2 - Proc. of IBIC2016, Barcelona, Spain, Sept. 13-18, 2016 C1 - Barcelona, Spain T2 - International Beam Instrumentation Conference T3 - 5 LA - english AB - The European XFEL is a 3.4 km long free-electron laser (FEL) which will deliver radiation in the wavelength regime of 0.05 to 4.7 nm. To avoid problems with longitudinal microbunching instabilities a laser heater is implemented. It heats up the electron bunches which will improve the overall brightness level of the FEL. I report the commissioning steps undertaken and the first recorded heating outputs observed in the injector section.
