The European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) will have a fast transverse intra-bunch train feedback (IBFB) system to stabilize the beam position in the SASE undulators. E-XFEL bunch trains consist of up to 2700 bunches with a minimum bunch spacing of 222ns and typ. 10Hz train repetition rate. The IBFB will measure the positions of each bunch in the bunch train, and apply intra-train feedback corrections with fast kickers, in addition to a feed-forward correction for reproducible trajectory perturbations. By achieving a feedback loop latency in the order of one microsecond, the IBFB will allow the beam position to converge quickly to the nominal orbit as required for stable SASE operation. The latest conceptual design of the IBFB and the status of IBFB components will be presented.
