TL;DR: The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (XFEL) as mentioned in this paper is the first next-generation light source user facility for hard Xray research combining extreme peak with very high average brilliance.
Abstract: The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (XFEL) will be the first next-generation light source user facility for hard X-ray research combining extreme peak with very high average brilliance. Five photon beamlines will deliver ultrashort, coherent radiation pulses, generated by superconducting linear accelerator technology and long permanent-magnet undulators to an initial set of ten scientific instruments. Free-electron laser radiation in the photon energy range from 250 eV to 12.4 keV and spontaneous radiation in the range from 20 keV up to a few 100 keV will be provided. Figure 1 shows the selected site for the European XFEL in Hamburg, Germany. The preparation for the European XFEL is supervised by an International Steering Committee including members from 13 partner countries. The start of construction is planned for the first half of 2007 and first beam is scheduled for 2013.

TL;DR: In this article, the ESRF is designing a new lattice to replace the present double-bend achromat structure, which fits in the present tunnel and keeps the insertion device source points at the same location.
Abstract: In the framework of its upgrade, the ESRF is designing a new lattice to replace the present double-bend achromat structure. This new lattice fulfills the following constraints and requirements: It fits in the present tunnel and keeps the insertion device source points at the same location;Its target horizontal emittance is around 150 pm;It keeps the electron energy at 6 GeV in order to preserve the spectral properties of the present beamlines;It minimizes the radiation losses and the magnet electrical consumption in order to decrease operating costs;The present injector complex is re-used with minor changes.

TL;DR: The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) as discussed by the authors is the world's most powerful X-ray source, capable of generating 6 GeV X-rays with high energy.
Abstract: The ESRF—the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility—is an international user facility in Grenoble, France, and a leader in the generation of the most intense high-energy (6 GeV) X-rays in the world. It was the very first “third-generation” synchrotron to be built and its extremely brilliant light provides opportunities for scientists all over the world in the exploration of materials and living matter, ranging from the chemistry and physics of materials to archeology and cultural heritage, together with structural biology and medical applications, the sciences of the environment, and the sciences of information and nanotechnologies.
