WE18 FELBE / TELBE (HZDR)

The Center for High-Power Radiation Sources ELBE is a super microscope the size of a football pitch. It generates diverse types of radiation, for example neutrons and positrons as well as variable coherent infrared radiation via two free-electron lasers and broadband terahertz radiation.

WE18 PAL XFEL Slider

Pohang Accelerator Laboratory X-ray Free Electron Laser (PAL-XFEL) project was started in 2011 for the generation of X-ray FEL radiation in a range of 0.1 to 6 nm for users. It is the world’s third XFEL in operation, following the LCLS in USA and the SACLA in Japan.

WE18 ESRF Slider

The ESRF is the world’s most intense X-ray source and a centre of excellence for fundamental and innovation-driven research in condensed and living matter science. Located in Grenoble, France, the European Synchrotron owes its success to the international cooperation of 22 partner countries.

WE18 FERMI Slider

FERMI (Free Electron laser Radiation for Multidisciplinary Investigations) is a single pass FEL lightsource at Elettra – Sincrotrone Trieste. The program of construction and commissioning through user experiments of the FEL source FERMI, the only FEL user facility in the world currently exploiting external seeding to offer intensity, wavelength and linewidth stability, achieved all of its intended targets last year.
