Possible Upgrades of FLASH –- A View from the Accelerator-Perspective

9th International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC'18, Vancouver, BC, Canada, 29 Apr 2018 - 4 May 2018; Geneva, Switzerland : JACoW 4 pp. (2018).
Recently FLASH (Free electron LASer in Hamburg) at DESY has been granted funding for a refurbishment project covering among others the replacement of two old SRF modules, an upgrade of the injector lasers and an upgrade of parts of the electron beam diagnostics.In addition we are proposing several possible upgrades and new features for the injector and the drive linac as well as in the undulator beamlines.Here we present options which are in our opinion technically feasible and at the same time operationally manageable.
