Description

In March 2012, SACLA was opened to public users. Since then, SACLA has been operated as scheduled without serious problems. In the fiscal year of 2012, the operation time reached more than 7000 hours. In order to improve the performance of SACLA, a two-color lasing and multi-energy operation have been proposed and tested. The two-color XFEL is realized at SACLA for the first time in hard x-rays with wide tunability. The multi-energy acceleration of the electron bunches is a unique idea to change the beam energy from bunch-to-bunch without degrading the accelerator stability, that will significantly improve the usability of multi-beamline operation. This paper presents the recent R and D activities of SACLA together with the current operation status. (author)
