Abstract
We review the status of the Dutch Free Electron Laser for Infrared eXperiments (FELIX), with which radiation in the range between 3 μm and 3 mm will be generated. Among our research objectives are (i) rapid tunability and (ii) mode reduction by means of an intracavity etalon. The first stage of the project deals with generation of radiation with a wavelength between 8 and 80 μm. The undulator of the former UK-FEL project will be used in this stage. The design of the accelerator, with which 70-A, 3-ps bunches are accelerated to a maximum energy of 45 MeV, is presented. It consists of a triode, a 4-MeV buncher, and two travelling-wave linac structures. Gain calculations leading to the best choice for the number of undulator periods are discussed.
