TED 778066-2026 European XFEL: Superconducting undulator modules for an afterburner for SASE2 - FESTA

European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility GmbH (European XFEL) is a non-profit limited liability company under German law. It operates the world’s largest X-ray laser, a 3.4-kilometre-long facility from the DESY campus in Hamburg to Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein. The laser generates ultrashort X-ray flashes 27,000 times per second, with a peak brilliance a billion times higher than that of the best conventional X-ray sources.

The European XFEL is announcing a tender for the development and supply of superconducting undulator (SCU) modules as part of an afterburner project for the Hard X-ray line SASE2. This project will comprise a small series of SCU modules, with one module retained for measurement-system improvements and as a spare. The modules are designed to produce X-ray lasing at photon energies of ≥ 25 keV while operating at an electron beam energy of 16.5 GeV.
