IPAC'23 - Particle Accelerator Projects and Upgrades

IPAC’23 / PARTICLE ACCELERATOR PROJECTS AND UPGRADES 19 Project Region EMEA Project Location Germany Project Type New Project Project Description Upgrade the FLASH Free-Electron Laser at DESY, Hamburg, Germany to extend the photon wavelength to the Oxygen K-edge and to provide as the first FEL in the world external seeding in the XUV and soft X-ray range with more than 5000 pulses per second. This will significantly enhance the scientfiic reach of the facility. In parallel, the second FLASH beamline will be upgraded to provide atto-second scale photon pulses in the soft X-ray welcomed by a large part of photon science experiments. Requirements List Available Yes Approval Date 01/01/2020 Status of Contracting all fine Construction scheduled to start 16/11/2021 Estimated Project Cost 40M EUR Estimated Construction Duration Three phases: linac upgrade 16-Nov-2021 to 14-Aug-2022, FLASH1 beamine upgrade 10-Jun-2024 to 3-Aug-2025, FLASH2 upgrade to atto-second pulses not yet defined Type of Equipment to be Purchased typical for electron and photon beamlines plus modulators and radiators Project Leader(s) Lucas Schaper Affiliation DESY e-mail lucas.schaper@desy.de Contact Person(s) Siegfried Schreiber Affiliation DESY e-mail siegfried.schreiber@desy.de FLASH2020+
