Description
Polfel will be a combined facility providing electromagnetic radiation in the range from THz to EUV and 9 MeV electron beam for ultra fast electron diffraction (UED). THz radiation and electron beams will be generated with two separate superconducting, cw operating linacs, while electromagnetic radiation in other ranges will be sourced form solid state lasers and from plasma jet, as harmonic radiation induced with those lasers. Experimental setups available at the facility launch will be fitted for THz transmission and reflection measurements in temperature range down to 5 K, for time- and angle-resolved photoemission, and for femtoseconds resolved electron diffraction on solid and gasous samples. Beam dynamical simulations and mechanical design of accelerators have been concluded allowing for procurement and civil engineering works to proceed. The installation will begin at NCBJ in the half of 2025 aiming at the commissioning and first light in 2026
