  As part of a development on a compact and lightweight structure toward structural reform of undulators, cancellation of magnetic attractive force is being studied. Undulators usually require rigid mechanical components and frames to control the magnet gap precisely against the large attractive force in between. If the attractive force is canceled out near the point of load, the requirement for the undulator structure is relaxed and the cost and lead time of construction and installation are saved largely. For that purpose, we have proposed to add periodically-magnetized monolithic magnets beside the main magnets, which are expected to generate a repulsive force having the same gap-dependency as the attractive force in a cost-effective way. In the conference, the present status of the development of the force cancellation system will be presented, with a focus on the result of preliminary experiments using the periodically-magnetized magnets. Also introduced will be a development plan for the compact and lightweight undulator based on the cancellation system.

  In order to improve the spectral and temporal properties of XFEL, the self-seeding option based on the transmission crystal optics has been implemented in SACLA since 2012. The self-seeding setup composed of four dipole magnets that can generate up to 50 fs temporal delay and a diamond single crystal with the thickness of 180 micro-m has been installed at the position of the 9th undulator segment, which has been moved downstream. In 2013, the installation of all the components has been completed in August and the commissioning has been started in October. After a number of tuning processes such as the beam collimation and undulator K-value optimization, significant spectral narrowing has been confirmed at 10 keV with the C(400) Bragg reflection. The spectral bandwidth of seeded FEL is about 3 eV, which is nearly one order narrower than that of SASE measured without the diamond crystal. The peak spectral intensity of seeded FEL is about 5 times higher than that of SASE. Systematic optimization on beam properties is now in progress towards experimental use of seeded XFELs. This talk gives the overview of the plan, achieved results and ongoing R&D.
