| Abstract |
ELBE is based on a 40 MeV superconducting Electron Linac able to operate in CW mode and provides manifold secondary user beams. The suite of secondary beams include: two free electron lasers operating in the IR/THz regime; a fast neutron beam; a Bremsstrahlung gamma-ray beam; a low-energy positron beam; and patented single-electron test beams. The primary electron beam is also used for radiobiology research, or in interaction with ultra-intense PW-class lasers. Through 2014 ELBE will be upgraded to a Centre for High Power Radiation Sources. The ELBE beam current was increased to 1.6 mA by using novel solid state RF amplifiers. The concept also contains additional broad and narrow band coherent THz sources and the development of a 500 TW TiSa Laser and even a 1.5 PW diode pumped laser system. Laser plasma electron acceleration and proton acceleration experiments for medical applications are planned. Additionally, coupled electron laser beam experiments like Thomson scattering or injection of ELBE electron into the laser plasma will be done.
