Abstract
The European XFEL will be a free electron laser based on self amplified spontaneous emission in the X-ray regime. The FEL is driven by a superconducting 17.5 GeV linear accelerator, followed by 5 separate undulators both for SASE FEL radiation and incoherent radiation. Start of operation is foreseen for 2013. This paper presents the layout of the European XFEL, with an emphasis on beam dynamics issues.
