LUX - A Laser-Plasma Driven Undulator Beamline — •Andreas R. Maier — Center for Free-Electron Laser Science and Department of Physics, Universität Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

LUX is a novel laser-plasma accelerator. Building on the joint expertise of the University of Hamburg and DESY the beamline was carefully designed to combine state-of-the-art expertise in laser-plasma acceleration with the latest advances in accelerator technology and beam diagnostics. LUX introduces a paradigm change moving from single-shot demonstration experiments towards available, stable and controllable accelerator operation. Here, we discuss the general design concepts of LUX and present first experimental results that have recently been achieved: This includes the 24h operation of the plasma accelerator with several 10.000 consecutive shots, and the generation of spontaneous undulator radiation at few-nm wavelength. Finally, we will discuss recent activities to upgrade the LUX beamline with a new undulator to demonstrate FEL gain following the decompression scheme.
