  Within last decade a linear accelerating structure with an average loaded gradient of 100 MV/m at 12 GHz has been demonstrated in the CLIC study. Recently, it has been proposed to use the CLIC structure to drive an FEL linac. In contrast to CLIC the linac would be powered by klystrons not by a drive beam. The main advantage of this proposal is achieving the required energies in a very short distance, thus the facility would be rather compact. In this study, we present the conceptual design parameters of a facility which could generate laser photon pulses covering the range of 1-75 Angstrom. Shorter wavelengths could also be reached with slightly increasing the energy.

  The bunch length of the 3 GeV electron storage ring at the Australian Synchrotron has been measured using reflective input optics feeding a streak camera. An Offner optical design was employed to reduce the chromatic broadening of the input optics of the streak camera. Using the reflective input optics the bunch length is measured to be 15% shorter than with the refractive input optics. The measured bunch length is now in good agreement with the model of the storage ring and the values are being used for calibration, monitoring and optimisation of the machine. The results of studies to characterise the streak camera shall also be presented.

  Preliminary plans are presented for a sub-Angstrom wavelength XFEL at the Australian Synchrotron light source site. The design is based around a 6 GeV x-band linac from the CLIC Project. One of the motivations for the design is to have an XFEL co-located on the site with existing storage ring based synchrotron light source. The desire and ability of the Australian photon science community to win beamtime on existing XFELs has lead to this design study to plan for a future machine in Australia. The technology choice is also driven by the Australian participation in the CLIC Collaboration and the local HEP community.
