SwissFEL Design and Status Hans H. Braun Mini Workshop on Compact X ray Free electron Lasers Eastern Forum of Science and Technology Shanghai July 19, 2010
SwissFEL, the next large facility at PSI SwissFEL key parameters Wavelength range 1 Å 70 Å Pulse duration 1 fs 20 fs e Energy 5.8 GeV e Bunch charge 10 200 pc Repetition rate 100 Hz
SwissFEL layout S band & X band C band C band C band 715 m Aramis: 1 7 Åhard X ray SASE FEL, In vacuum, planar undulators with variable gap. Athos: 7 70 Åsoft X ray FEL for SASE & Seeded operation. APPLE II undulators with variable gap and full polarization control. D Artagnan: FEL for wavelengths above Athos, seeded with an HHG source. Besides covering the longer wavelength range, the FEL is used as the initial stage of a High Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG) with Athos as the final radiator.
SwissFEL Rational I Research capabilities of X ray FEL ideal complement for PSI s existing synchrotron light source and spallation neutron source research facilities European XFEL will not provide enough beam time for users in Europe Europe has with FLASH, FLASH II, FERMI@ELETTRA and maybe SPARX, NLS already good coverage for soft X ray FEL s hard X ray FEL
