PLT03 | Commissioning Status and Further Development of the Novosibirsk Multiturn ERL | 6 |
|
||
The Novosibirsk ERL is used as a source of electron beams for the powerful Free Electron Laser. It is based on the normal conducting RF structure which operates in CW mode. The third stage of this facility which is the first in the world four-turn ERL has been commissioned recently. More than 90% of electrons were transported to the beam dump, which allowed to increase the average beam current up to 5 mA. The obtained parameters are sufficient to get lasing at the third stage FEL which will be installed at fourth track in the nearest future. In this paper we report the commissioning status and talk about further development of the Novosibirsk ERL and FEL facility. | ||

Novosibirsk ERL-based FEL as User Facility | |
|
||
Novosibirsk ERL operates for users with two FELs now. Terahertz FEL, installed on the first orbit, provides radiation in the wavelength range 120 - 240 micron with the average power up to .5 kW and peak power up to 1 MW. The far infrared FEL, installed on the second orbit, generates 40 - 80 micron radiation with the same power. Nitrogen-loaded beamlines transport radiation to user halls. Six stations are in use for biologists, chemists and physicists of several research institutions. Status and results of some user's research are described. | ||
