The MAX IV linac will be used both for injection and top up into two storage rings, and as a high brightness injector for a Short Pulse Facility (SPF) and an FEL (phase 2). Compression is done in two double achromats with positive R56. The natural second order momentum compaction, T566, from the achromats is used together with weak sextupoles to linearise longitudinal phase space, leaving no need for a harmonic cavity for linearization of longitudinal phase space. In this proceeding we present the design of the achromat compressors and results from particle tracking through the MAX IV linac in high brightness mode. We also investigate emittance dilution due to CSR, in the achromat compressors, and transverse wakefields in a high beta function lattice.

The free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) was previously being operated in the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) mode, producing photons in the XUV wavelength range. Due to the start-up from noise the SASE-radiation consists of a number of uncorrelated modes, which results in a reduced coherence. One option to simultaneously improve both the coherence and the synchronisation between the FEL-pulse and an external laser is to operate FLASH as an amplifier of a seed produced using high harmonics generation (HHG). An experimental set-up - sFLASH, has been installed to test this concept for the wavelengths below 40 nm. The sFLASH installation took place during the planed FLASH shutdown in the winter of 2009/2010. The technical commissioning, which began in the spring of 2010, has been followed by seeded-FEL commissioning, FEL-characterisation and pilot experiments. In this contribution the present status and the sFLASH commissioning results will be discussed.
