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. | ||

WG207 | Longitudinal Stability of Multiturn ERL with Split Accelerating Structure | 44 |
|
||
Some modern projects of the new generation light sources use the conception of multipass energy recovery linac with split (CEBAF-like) accelerating structures. One of the advantages of these light sources is the possibility to obtain a small longitudinal beam size. To help reduce it, the longitudinal dispersion should be non-zero in some arcs of the accelerator. However small deviations in voltages of the accelerating structures can be enhanced by induced fields from circulating bunches due to the dependence of the flight time on the energy spread and the high quality factor of the superconducting radio-frequency cavities. Therefore, instabilities related with interactions of the electron bunches and longitudinal modes of the cavities can develop in the installation. Stability conditions for the interactions with fundamental accelerating mode of the split accelerating system are discussed. | ||

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. | ||

PS13 | Radiation Monitoring at Novosibirsk FEL | 106 |
|
||
The system of radiation diagnostics controls levels of radiation in the accelerator hall and in the adjacent rooms where works FEL personnel. The system provides radiation safety of personnel. The software performs data visualization and records the measured data into the database. The special ionization chambers installed in the accelerator hall. They keep track of the beam losses in the vacuum chamber, this information is used for correction of beam orbit. These sensors detect the induced radioactivity. Based on these data, we watch the degradation of the material of construction under the action of radiation. | ||
