------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This call relates to beamtimes from November 2025 to June 2026.

The FLASH facility is currently in an upgrade shutdown with an expected restart in late autumn 2025. In the present upgrade shutdown, the FLASH1 FEL branch will be equipped with external seeding which then will be commissioned end of 2025 and early 2026. First experiments with the seeded FLASH1 will be community-driven proposals and all users are warmly invited to join the process. Please contact Markus Guehr for more information on the process.

After community proposals, we will continue with proposals running through the regular PRP process also for FLASH1. We expect to publish a call for FLASH1 proposals towards the end of 2025. This FLASH1 call will then be related to beamtimes from late 2026 on.
