TUPA22 | FLASH II: A Project Update | 247 |
|
||
FLASH II is an extension of the existing FLASH facility by an undulator line and an experimental Hall of which the construction will start before the end of the year. Aims are to increase beamtime for users and implement HHG seeding for the longer wavelength range from 10 to 40 nm at a reduced repetition rate of 100 kHz. Additional seeding schemes are under discussion as a future option. We will present a progress report of FLASH II. | ||
WEPB05 | Experiments on Femtosecond Stabilization of Fiber Link for Shanghai Soft-XFEL | 402 |
|
||
The Shanghai Soft X-ray Free Electron Laser (SXFEL) facility will be constructed in the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) campus. SXFEL will operate in the HGHG and/or EEHG mode and require a femtosecond timing distribution system as well as the synchronization between femtosecond pulsed lasers, femtosecond pulsed X-rays, CW microwave signals and electron bunches with 10 fs precision. The pulsed fiber laser based femtosecond T&S system which has been proposed by the MIT/DESY team is adopted. In this paper the status of the femtosecond T&S system for SXFEL is introduced. Some initial progress of the phase stabilization by electronics control when laser pulses transport though long optical fibers is presented. | ||
THPB21 | Extraction Arc for FLASH2 | 601 |
|
||
FLASH2 is an extension of the existing FEL FLASH at DESY, Hamburg. It uses the same linear accelerator. A separate tunnel and a new experimental hall will be built next to the existing FLASH facilities. First constructions started in spring 2011. A fast kicker and a septum to be installed behind the last superconducting acceleration module give the possibility to distribute the beam to the existing beam line and to the new extraction arc. Within this arc a pulsed bending magnet allows to send the beam into two separate beam lines: One hosting undulators for SASE and space for HHG seeding (FLASH2), the other serving a proposed plasma wake field experiment or later on another FEL beam line (FLASH3). The extraction arc design has to fulfill specific requirements such as small emittance and energy spread growth. Furthermore, constrains are given by the existing FLASH buildings and by the space required for the in-coupling of the seed laser. Beam quality impairment has been mitigated by designing the beam optics with horizontal beam waists in all bending magnets. To optimize the extraction arc, simulations for different layouts were carried out using the programs ELEGANT and CSRTRACK. | ||
