Abstract: FLASHForward is an experimental facility at DESY dedicated to beam-driven plasma-accelerator research. The X-2 experiment aims to demonstrate acceleration with simultaneous beam-quality preservation and high energy efficiency in a compact plasma stage. We report on the completed commissioning, first experimental results, ongoing research topics, as well as plans for future upgrades.<br />Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures; proceeding of the EPS-HEP2021 conference (Hamburg, July 26-30 2021) submitted to Proceedings of Science
