TL;DR: In this article, the authors dealt with TTF/FLASH in the XFEL context, general layout of the X-FEL facility, the X FEL accelerator, undulators for SAES and spontaneous emission, infrastructure and auxiliary systems, commissioning and operation, project management and organization, cost and time schedule.

TL;DR: The SwissFEL X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility as discussed by the authors started construction at the Paul Scherrer Institute (Villigen, Switzerland) in 2013 and will be ready to accept its first users in 2018 on the Aramis hard Xray branch.

TL;DR: The European XFEL as discussed by the authors is a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) based on a highelectron-energy superconducting linear accelerator, which allows for the acceleration of many electron bunches within one radio-frequency pulse of the accelerating voltage and, in turn, for the generation of a large number of hard Xray pulses.

TL;DR: The temporal and spatial stability of the first tunable femtosecond undulator hard-x-ray source for ultrafast diffraction and absorption experiments is reported and optical control of coherent lattice motion is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this article, the first lasing results of SwissFEL, a hard X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) that recently came into operation at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland, were presented.
