SOFT-X-RAY SASE-FEL PROJECT AT SPring-8 JAPAN

摘要

The SPring-8 Compact SASE Source (SCSS) is a high peak-brilliance soft X-ray free electron laser project. It is the linac-based FEL dedicated machine. Combination of the high-gradient C-band accelerator and the in-vacuum short-period undulator realizes a SASE-FEL facility for soft X-ray within 100 m machine length. It has been funded in April 2001, aiming to generate first light in 2003 at VUV region, and ultimately 3.6 nm in water-window in 2005. This paper report design work SCSS.
