Description

DESY is developing different scenarios for a high-duty-cycle upgrade of the superconducting linac of the European XFEL. These scenarios include the current 10-Hz “burst mode” at 16.5 GeV (~1% duty cycle) up to full CW operation at ~7 GeV (100% duty cycle), with an intermediate 10% duty cycle option which could achieve ~15 GeV. The linac upgrade itself requires an additional sixteen CW-ready cryomodules, a complete overall of the RF power source as well as a new cryoplant. Timescale for the upgrade is ~2030.
