Summary
A new compact versatile linear accelerator named FLUTE ("Ferninfrarot Linac Und Test Experiment") is currently under construction at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY). It will serve as an accelerator test facility and allow conducting a variety of accelerator physics studies. In addition, it will be used to
generate intense ultra-short THz pulses for photon science expe-
riments. Special emphasis is put on studies of bunch compression
and beam stability as a function of bunch charge and of different
generation mechanisms of coherent radiation.
