  Radiation detectors based on microchannel plates (MCP) are used for characterization of the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) radiation and measurements of the Self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) gain curve at the European XFEL. Photon pulse energies are measured by the MCPs with an anode and by a photodiode. There is one MCP-based detector unit installed in each of the three photon beamlines downstream of the SASE1, SASE2, and SASE3 undulators. MCP detectors operate in a wide dynamic range of pulse energies, from the level of spontaneous emission up to FEL saturation. Their wavelength operation range overlaps with the whole range of radiation wavelengths of SASE1 and SASE2 (from 0.05 nm to 0.4 nm), and SASE3 (from 0.4 nm to 5 nm). In this paper we present results of SASE gain-curve measurements by the MCP-based detectors.

  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.

  At the European XFEL, two undulator systems for hard and one for soft X-rays have been successfully put into operation. The SASE3 soft X-ray undulator system generates linearly polarized radiation in the horizontal plane. One of the requirements for extending the radiation characteristics is the ability to obtain different polarization modes. These include both right and left circular, elliptical polarization, or linear polarization at an arbitrary angle. For this purpose, a system consisting of four APPLE X helical undulators developed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is used. This paper presents the design parameters of the SASE3 undulator system after modifying it with the helical afterburner. It also describes the methods and the design solutions different from those used at PSI. The status and schedule of the project are introduced.
