The European XFEL is a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) based on a high-electron-
energy superconducting linear accelerator. The superconducting technology allows for the …

The European XFEL uses the world's largest superconducting RF installation to drive three
independent SASE FELs. After eight years of construction the facility is now brought into …

Abstract The European XFEL Injector consists of an L-Band RF photoinjector, a TESLA type
1.3 GHz module, a 3rd harmonic RF section, a laser heater and an extensive diagnostic …

For successful operation of X-ray Free Electron Lasers, one crucial parameter is the
ultrashort electron bunch length yielding a high peak current and a short saturation length. In …

Since more than a decade, the photo injector test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), has
developed and optimized high brightness electron sources for modern Free Electros Lasers …

The main linac of the superconducting accelerator of the European XFEL presently consists
of 96 accelerator modules, each housing eight 1.3 GHz TESLA-type cavities, with an …

A transverse deflecting system (TDS) is under commissioning at the Photo Injector Test
Facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The structure was designed and manufactured by the …

As a cutting-edge technology for photoinjectors, SRF guns are expected to provide CW
electron beams with high bunch charge and low emittance, which is critical to the …

High brightness photoinjectors for superconducting linac-based FELs are developed,
optimized and characterized at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) …

Abstract The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), was built with the aim
to develop and characterize electron sources for future usage at FLASH and at the …
