Abstract
This paper presents an X-ray Free Electron Laser laboratory (XFEL for short) as part of a Linear Collider facility. After presenting the ove rall scheme, we discuss the advantage of using a low RF frequency lina c (preferably a superconducting one) as the driver of an XFEL. The par ameter range with respect to pulse structure, photon wavelength and br illiance values is presented as well as schemes of distributing the tr ain of several thousand electron bunches per RF pulse to many differen t users. Main technical challenges and proposed solutions are discusse d.
