Abstract
LUNEX5 is a new Free Electron Laser (FEL) source project aimed at delivering short andcoherent X-ray pulses to probe ultrafast phenomena at the femto-second scale, toinvestigate extremely low density samples as well as to image individual nm scale objects.The proposed machine layout is based on a 400 MeV superconducting Conventional LinearAccelerator (CLA) mainly composed of 2 XFEL type cryomodules together with anormalconducting high brightness photo RF gun. Such a mature and reliable technology isable to deliver high quality electron bunches up to few kHz suitable for user experiments.Furthermore, the last decade improvements in synchronization and stability offer a fertileland to explore the different and innovative seeded FEL operations aiming at producinghigher coherence and energetic X-rays for the pilot user benefits. In parallel of the CLAbranch, the very promising and highly innovative Laser Wake-Field Accelerator (LWFA)enables to produce very short electron bunches in the range of the femtosecond and highpeak current up to few GeV, as a FEL bench test using the same undulator lines.
