The Dedicated Accelerator RD Facility "SINBAD" at DESY

We present an overview of the dedicated R&D facility SINBAD which is currently under construction at DESY. The facility will host multiple independent experiments on the acceleration of ultra-short electron bunches and advanced acceleration schemes. In its initial phase, SINBAD will host two experiments: AXSIS and ARES. The AXSIS collaboration aims to accelerate fs-electron bunches to 15 MeV in a THz driven dielectric structure and subsequently create X-rays by inverse Compton scattering. The first stage of the ARES experiment is to set up a 100 MeV S-band electron linac to produce ultra-short electron bunches with excellent beam arrival time stability. Once this is achieved, the electrons will be ideally suited to be injected into experiments for testing advanced accelerator concepts e.g. DLA experiments in the context of the ACHIP collaboration. In the long term, external injection into a laser driven plasma acceleration stage is targeted as well.
