Document Description
The DOE proposes to construct the LCLS at SLAC. The LCLS would be the world's first x-ray free electron laser (FEL) that would produce x-ray laser pulses that are billions of times more intense than those from existing synchrotron sources. The LCLS would take advantage of the existing infrastructure at SLAC and would install a new photoinjector at sector 20 of the 30 sector linear accelerator (linzc), the last kilometer of the linac would be modified to accelerate the electrons to be used in the LCLS. A 120 meter long undulator magnet would be fabricated and installed in the existing Final Focus Test Beam facility and two new experimental halls would be constructed. The LCLS would further DOE's mission of planning, constructing, and operating user facilities to provide special scientific and research capabilities to serve the needs of U.S. universities, industry, and federal laboratories.
