Description

FLASH, the free-electron laser user facility at DESY, delivers XUV and soft X-ray radiation for photon experiments since 2005. It is driven by a superconducting linear accelerator, and has two undulator lines (FLASH1 and FLASH2). A third electron beam line hosts the plasma wakefield experiment FLASHForward. Presently, the FLASH facility is undergoing an extensive refurbishment and a substantial upgrade (FLASH2020+). In this paper we summarize the FLASH operation in 2019 - 2021, and report on the main upgrades realized in a long installation shutdown from November 2021 to summer 2022.
