  CompactLight (XLS) is a three-year project, funded by EU in the context of the Horizon 2020 Programme (Research Infrastructures - Design Studies). The aim of the project, started in January 2018, is to design a hard X-ray FEL facility beyond today's state of the art, using the latest concepts for bright electron photo injectors, very high-gradient X-band structures operating at 12 GHz, and innovative compact short-period undulators. A consortium of 21 leading European institutions, including industry, together with 3 non-European institutes, are partnering up to achieve this ambitious goal. An overview of the project with the main organizational aspects and the expected outcomes will be reported.

  H2020 CompactLight Project aims at designing the next generation of compact hard X-Rays Free-Electron Lasers, relying on very high accelerating gradients and on novel undulator concepts. CompactLight intends to design a compact Hard X-ray FEL facility based on very high-gradient acceleration in the X band of frequencies, on a very bright photo injector, and on short-period/superconductive undulators to enable smaller electron beam energy. If compared to existing facilities, the proposed facility will benefit from a lower electron beam energy, due to the enhanced undulators performance, be significantly more compact, as a consequence both of the lower energy and of the high-gradient X-band structures, have lower electrical power demand and a smaller footprint. CompactLight is a consortium of 24 institutes (21 European + 3 extra Europeans), gathering the world-leading experts both in the domains of X-band acceleration and undulator design.
