Description
Gerardo D’Auria - Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste - on behalf of the CompactLight Consortium
CompactLight (XLS) is a H2020 Design Study funded by the European Union under grant agreement 777431 and carried out by an International Collaboration of 26 partners and 5 third parties.
The project, started in January 2018 with a duration of 48 months, aims at designing an innovative, compact and cost-effective hard X-ray FEL facility, complemented by a soft X-ray source that can be operated up to 1 KHz pulse repetition rate, beyond today’s state of the art, using the latest concepts for high brightness electron photoinjectors, very high gradient accelerating structures, and novel short period undulators.
The presentation will give an overview of the state of the project.
