| | The XFEL (European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser) is
a new international large-scale research infrastructure
to be built in the north west of Hamburg, Germany [1],
[2].
The power coupler TTF3, developed at DESY for
TESLA was chosen to be the first choice for the XFEL.
For further development, testing and conditioning of
the power coupler a collaboration is working between
LAL, Orsay and DESY, Hamburg since 2004. Up to 60
power couplers of the TTF3 type are fabricated,
conditioned and under operation at the TESLA Test
Facility.
For the industrialization of the power coupler three
contracts where placed at the Industry. The follow up
of these contracts is under the supervision of LAL.
We will report about the approach of the contract and
some results. | |
