  At the Japanese x-ray free-electron laser (FEL) facility, SACLA, the beamline-1 has been upgraded from a spontaneous radiation to a soft x-ray FEL beamline, which generates FEL lights over a wide wavelength range from the extreme-ultraviolet to the soft x-ray regions. We started operation for users in July 2016. A dedicated accelerator, which is a refinement of the SCSS test accelerator operated in 2005-2013, was installed beside the XFEL beamlines in the SACLA undulator hall. The SCSS concept to make an FEL facility compact was continuously adopted. In the 2016 summer shutdown period, the beam energy was upgraded from 500 MeV to 800 MeV by adding two C-band rf units. The maximum K-value of the undulator magnet is 2.1. The available wavelengths of the FEL lights were extended to the range from 8 to 50 nm with pulse energies between a few to few tensμJ at an operational repetition rate of 60 Hz. In this conference, we will report an overview of the upgraded SACLA-beamline-1 and characteristics of the FEL light pulse.

  The SPring-8 upgrade project has adopted the hybrid MBA lattice to achieve the emittance of about 100 pmrad at 6 GeV with damping effects by insertion devices. This optics has two dispersion bumps in one unit cell where chromaticity-correcting sextupoles locate. The horizontal and vertical betatron phases between these bumps are tuned to be 3PI and PI, respectively, to cancel the low order contributions of nonlinear kicks due to sextupoles. However, it is not easy to obtain a sufficiently large dynamic aperture (DA) since (i) the cancellation is incomplete due to a nested arrangement, (ii) sextupoles are very strong, and (iii) the number of tuning knobs is limited. The DA is quite small due to the leakage of nonlinear kicks by nested sextupoles. We hence proposed to install additional weak sextupoles between the dispersion bumps to suppress the leakage kick further. Simulations show that this simple scheme is very effective for suppressing ADTS and for enlarging DA. We present details of this scheme and some numerical examples together with a newly developed fourth-order formula of ADTS for describing and controlling the lattice nonlinearity.

  At the Japanese XFEL facility SACLA, two XFEL beamlines (BL2 and BL3) and an injection line to the SPring-8 storage ring are switched by a kicker magnet. This multi-beamline operation has been tested since February 2015, however, CSR effects at a dogleg beam transport to BL2 with a deflecting angle of 3 degree currently limit the peak current of the electron beam. In order to suppress and cancel out the CSR effects, new beam optics is introduced for the dogleg in January 2017. In the new optics, a deflecting angle of the first kicker magnet is increased to 1.5 degree, which is three times larger than that of the old optics. To drive the kicker magnet, a high-power pattern power supply has been developed. To achieve the maximum output of 300 A and 1 kV, SiC MOSFETs are used as switching modules. The newly developed power supply can generate bipolar trapezoidal current waveforms at 60 Hz, and the amplitude and polarity of each waveform are controlled from pulse to pulse according to the beam energy and destination. The target stability is 10 ppm (peak to peak). In this presentation, we report the design and operation results of the newly developed pattern power supply.
