Status of the CompactLight Design Study — •Regina Rochow and Gerardo D'Auria — Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, Trieste, Italy

CompactLight (XLS) is a H2020 Design Study funded by the European Union under grant agreement 777431 and carried out by an International Collaboration of 24 partners and 5 third parties. The project started in January 2018 with a duration of 36 months and aims at designing an innovative, cost-effective and compact hard X-ray FEL facility beyond today's state of the art. This will be achieved using an advanced C-band photo-injector, high gradient X-band accelerating structures, and novel short period undulators. The hard X-ray FEL will be complemented by a soft X-ray source that can be operated up to 1 KHz pulse repetition rate. The presentation, held on behalf of the CompactLight Consortium, will give an overview of the state of the project, focusing in particular on the facility design and its potential regarding future user needs.
