FERMI@ELETTRA: Project Update

Abstract The FERMI@ELETTRA project is an initiative from ELETTRA, INFM and other Italian institutes, to construct a single-pass FEL user-facility for the wavelength range from 100 nm (12 eV) to 1.2 nm (1 keV), to be located next to the third-generation synchrotron radiation facility ELETTRA in Trieste, Italy. The initial stage of the project is concentrated around the existing 1.2-GeV linac and aims for lasing and initial user experiments in the wavelength range from 100 nm to 10 nm. PACS codes: 41.60.Cr, 42.72.Bj, 07.85.Fv, 29.17. +w
