FEL R&D opportunities @ SLAC
• LCLS is currently the world’s brightest x-ray source• You have the opportunities to make it even brighter and impact the
design of next-generation FELs• Many opportunities to pursue theoretical, computational and
experimental research
Seeding can improve its spectral brightness
