Description
The soft x-ray line of SwissFEL, Athos, is currently under construction. This new FEL line will cover the photon energy range from 250 eV to 1900 eV. Athos will include several innovations allowing more complex modes of operation as the standard SASE FEL mode. Small magnetic chicanes between every undulator segments will allow to delay or shift electron bunches in order to better control FEL beam parameters. The novel “APPLE-X” undulator-magnet design will give full control on the X-ray polarization. The production of two colors pulses with adjustable delay will also be part of the operation modes. This variety of options will offer exciting new possibilities to the user community from 2021 on.
