The European XFEL under construction in Hamburg, Northern Germany, aims at producing X-rays in the range from 260 eV up to 24 keV out of three undulators that can be operated simultaneously with up to 27,000 pulses per second. The FEL is driven by a 17.5 GeV superconducting linac. Installation of this linac is now finished and commissioning is next. First lasing is expected for spring 2017. The paper summarizes the status of the project. First results of the injector commissioning are given.

  A test accelerator as a coherent terahertz source (t-ACTS) has been under development at Tohoku University, in which an intense coherent terahertz (THz) radiation generated by an extremely short electron bunch. Velocity bunching scheme in a traveling accelerating structure is employed to generate femtosecond electron bunches. Spatial and temporal coherent radiation in THz region can be produced by the electron bunches with small transverse emittance. A long-period undulator, which has 25 periods with a period length of 10 cm and a peak magnetic field of 0.41 T, has been also developed and installed to provide intense coherent THz undulator radiation. By optimizing the bunch length, we found that it is possible to generate a coherent undulator radiation that contain only the fundamental wave from numerical studies. We are planning an experiment with 30 MeV beam to generate a coherent undulator radiation of 2.5THz. In the conference, we will report the preliminary experimental results.

THPLR019 A Laser Pulse Controller for the Injector Laser at FLASH and European XFEL laser, operation, timing, hardware 882

  FLASH is a multi-beamline free-electron laser user facility which provides femtosecond long high brilliant photon pulses in the extreme-UV and soft-X ray wavelength range. One pulsed superconducting linac accelerates electron bunches for two undulator beamlines, while a third beamline is under construction. Within each RF-pulse, trains of hundreds of electron bunches are produced in a photo-cathode RF gun, accelerated in the linac and distributed by fast kickers into the undulator beamlines. In order to fulfill the parameter ranges of the multiple user experiments each bunch train can be tuned individually in bunch number from 0 - 800, spacing from 1 μs - 25 μs and intensity from 0.1 nC - 1 nC. To make this possible, three injector laser systems are used and this allows FLASH to vary independently the laser settings for the designated undulator beamlines. A laser controller has been developed to make a multi-users operation mode possible. The controller uses a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to control the time structure of the laser pulses and it provides the interface for the timing and the machine protection system. The controller has been implemented using the MicroTCA.4 technology. The controller was ported to the injector laser system at the European XFEL facility and is in operation since end 2015.

  The construction of the PAL-XFEL was completed at the end of 2015 and the FEL commissioning started from the beginning of 2016. The commissioning aims for the lasing of 0.5 nm FEL in the first campaign by July 2016, and for the lasing of 0.1 nm hard X-ray FEL in the second campaign by December 2016. The commissioning results of the 0.5 nm FEL lasing will be presented.
