Abstract

LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short, intense, coherent Free Electron Laser (FEL) pulses in the 40-4 nm spectral range. It comprises a 400 MeV superconducting Linear Accelerator for high repetition rate operation (10 kHz), multi-FEL lines adapted for studies of advanced FEL schemes, a 0.4-1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA) for its qualification by a FEL application, a single undulator line enabling advanced seeding and pilot user applications. Different studies and R&D programs have been launched. A test experiment for the demonstration of 180 MeV LWFA based FEL amplification at 200 nm is under preparation, thanks to a proper electron beam manipulation. Specific hardware is also under development such as a cryo-ready 3 m long undulator of 15 mm period.
