  With FLASH2020+, a major upgrade of the FLASH facility has started to meet the new requirements of the growing soft-x ray user community. The design of the FEL beamlines aims at photon properties suitable to the needs of future user experiments with high repetition rate XUV and soft X-ray radiation. By the end of the project, both existing FEL lines at FLASH will be equipped with fully tunable undulators capable of delivering photon pulses with variable polarization. The use of the external seeding at 1 MHz in burst mode is part of the design of the new FLASH1 beamline, while FLASH2 will exploit novel lasing concepts based on different undulator configurations. The new FLASH2020+ will rely on an electron beam energy of 1.35 GeV that will extend the accessible wavelength range to the oxygen K-edge with variable polarization. The facility will be completed with new laser sources for pump and probe experiment and new experimental stations.

  The major upgrade FLASH2020+ of the FEL user facility FLASH includes an improved injector layout for the generation of the high-brightness electron beam as well as an externally seeded FEL beamline. Microbunching gain of initial modulations or shot-noise fluctuations degrade the electron beam quality, which is in particular harmful to the external seed process. To minimize the microbunching gain by a controlled increase of the uncorrelated energy spread, the installation of a laser heater is foreseen directly upstream of the first bunch compression chicane. In this paper, we present the layout of the laser heater section, which follows the original proposal published almost 20 years ago and differs in several aspects from the common layout implemented at many other FEL facilities. The considerations that have been made for the optimisation of the laser heater parameters are described in detail.

  With the FLASH2020+ upgrade, one of the beamlines of the free-electron laser FLASH at DESY will be based on the Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG) seeding scheme and provide high-repetition-rate, coherent radiation down to 4 nm. To reach this wavelength, it is necessary to imprint intricate structures on the longitudinal phase space of the electron bunch at a very high harmonic of the seed laser wavelength, making the scheme potentially vulnerable to beam instabilities. Part of the beamline is a strong chicane, which is necessary to create the dispersion required by EEHG. Resulting effects such as Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) can be very detrimental for the bunching process and have to be taken into account already in the design of the beamline to ensure optimum FEL performance. We investigate and propose possible mitigation solutions to such instabilities in the FLASH2020+ parameter range.
