  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.

  FLASH2 is one of the two SASE (Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission) undulator beamlines lines comprising variable gap undulators to produce radiation in the XUV and soft X-ray regime at FLASH. Downstream of the SASE undulators the beamline is currently undergoing a major redesign. During shutdowns in summer 2020 and winter 2021 two PolariX TDSs (Polarizable X-band Transverse Deflecting Structure) were installed, as well as additional diagnostics, to monitor the longitudinal phase space density of the electron bunches. Additionally, an afterburner undulator will be integrated in the next shutdown to produce circularly polarized light with wavelengths down to 1.39 nm. In this paper, we will present the modifications that were and will be made to the electron beamline in the course of this redesign.

  The free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is a high brilliance XUV and soft X-ray SASE FEL user-facility at DESY. FLASH’s superconducting linac can accelerate several thousand electron bunches per second in 10 Hz bursts of up to 800 µs length. The long bunch trains can be split in two parts and shared between two undulator beamlines. During 2020, FLASH supplied, in standard operation, up to 500 bunches at 10 Hz in two bunch trains with independent fill patterns and compression schemes. The FLASH2 undulator beamline comprises variable gap undulators that allow different novel lasing schemes. A third beamline accommodates the FLASHForward plasma wakefield acceleration experiment. We report on the FLASH operation in 2019 - 2021 and present a few highlights.
