A spreader system is required to distribute the beam between a soft X-ray or hard X-ray undulator, and a beam dump. An additional beam diverter is required in the front end of the linac to divert 100 MeV electrons to a diagnostic line. Both the spreader and diagnostic diversion systems are designed to operate on a bunch by bunch basis via the combination of fast kickers and a Lambertson septum. This paper presents a summary of the optics, kicker, and septum design. Of specific interest is the unique challenge associated with building a high repetition, high stability, spreader capable of diverting a single bunch without disturbing neighboring bunches. Additional discussion includes the application of the spreader technology to the proposed DASEL/S30XL beamline. This beamline will acceptμbunches evenly spaced between the undulator bound bunches, thus requiring a kicker with the same repetition rate as LCLS-II but a pulse width extended to approximately 600 ns.}, }
