Abstract

The idea to use a long linear accelerator (linac) for providing the drive beam for an X-ray free-electron laser was conceived at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center SLAC. In the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) project [1] a 1km long section of the SLAC electron linac, which has been the major facility for elementary particle physics at Stanford since 1965, will deliver the beam needed in the FEL. The SLAC machine is based on normal-conducting accelerating structures working at 3 GHz.
