III.7 — X-ray free-electron-lasers
X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) facilities are unique tools providing extremely brilliant X-rays that allow the observation of matter on the scale of atomic processes. In this chapter we will qualitatively explain some fundamental concepts related to undulator and FEL radiation and we will describe the X-ray FEL facilities, including the typical layout, some basic concepts about electron beam dynamics and properties, and current facilities.
