Description

This paper describes instruments of the X-ray free-electron laser 'SACLA' generating light with the world-shortest wavelength of 0.06 nm. The cost-effective method to reduce a machine length by using a high-brightness thermionic electron-gun, a C-band accelerator using a high-acceleration gradient and an in-vacuum undulator is especially explained. Furthermore, the extreme stability of the accelerator instruments to realize stable lasing is mentioned. (author)
