Undulators and Light Production with the XLS-CompactLight Design Study

  • Published:
Moscow University Physics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

Free electron laser (FEL) facilities provide broadly tunable and highly coherent photon beams. These machines still have an unexplored potential and development. The XLS-CompactLight design aims at a flexible hard plus soft X-ray FEL facility exploiting the latest concepts in terms of short period magnetic undulators, paving the road towards more compact photon sources.
