Abstract
Commissioning of two large coherent light facilities (XFELs) at SLAC and DESY should begin in 2008 and 2011, respectively. In this paper we look further into the future, hoping to answer, in a very preliminary way, two questions. First: What will the next generation of XFEL facilities look like? Believing that superconducting technology offers advantages such as high quality beams with highly populated bunches, the possibility of energy recovery and higher overall efficiency than warm technology, we focus this preliminary study on the superconducting option. From this belief the second question arises: What modifications in superconducting technology and in the machine design are needed, as compared to the present DESY XFEL, and what kind of research and development program should be proposed to arrive in the next few years at a technically feasible solution with even higher brilliance and increased overall conversion of ac power to photon beam power? In this paper we will very often refer to and profit from the DESY XFEL design, acknowledging its many technically innovative solutions.
