Lebedev physical institute radiation complex – current status and new concepts

Abstract

Multipurpose radiation complex is the result of long- term permanent development of new instrumentation at the Lebedev Physical Institute. This is stand-alone large facility designed for fundamental and applied research that had been started from the high current racetrack microtron project in the mid of seventies and has been completed by commissioning of far infrared FEL nowadays. Current status of the radiation complex including research as well as linac and FEL performance improvement is discussed in paper presented followed by new ideas in further facility development and application.
