| MOPC03 | Modeling of the Quiet Start Algorithm in the Framework of the Correlation Function Theory | 99 |

| To suppress initial beam current fluctuations at the fundamental harmonic the macroparticle based FEL simulation codes use the quiet start algorithm. This algorithm should be valid at linear stage but there is no simple method to check whether it gives correct results at saturation. The regular approach to the start-up from noise problem should be based on the correlation function equation. In this paper we show that the quiet start algorithm can be naturally described in the framework of the correlation function theory. For this purpose one just needs to assume nonzero correlations in the initial particle distribution. This approach gives the possibility to compare simulation results for the system with reduced number of particles and artificially suppressed initial fluctuations with the case of real system with large number of particles. | ||
| MOPC28 | Fine Tuning of the K-parameter of Two Segments of the European XFEL Undulator Systems | 144 |

| For large and segmented undulator systems as needed for the European XFEL a non-destructive, in situ, radiation diagnostics method would strongly compliment e-beam diagnostics. If such method would allow to fine tune the K parameter of individual undulator segments with an accuracy set by the Pierce parameter ρ, which is on the order of 2~3×10-4, this would provide a very helpful tool for FEL commissioning. This paper provides a first analysis of a strategy of tuning the K parameter of two adjacent undulator segments. The spontaneous, monochromatized, on axis intensity is analyzed as a function of the phase delay set by the phase shifter in between. It makes use of diagnostic equipment which will be available at the European XFEL anyway. First results are demonstrated and limitations will be discussed. | ||
| WEPA11 | Longitudinal Stability of ERL with Two Accelerating RF Structures | 345 |

Modern ERL projects use superconductive accelerating RF structures. Their RF quality is typically very high. Therefore, the RF voltage induced by electron beam is also high. In ERL the RF voltage induced by the accelerating beam is almost cancelled by the RF voltage induced by the decelerating beam. But, a small variation of the RF voltage may cause the deviations of the accelerating phases. These deviations then may cause further voltage variation. Thus the system may be unstable. The stability conditions for ERL with one accelerating structure are well known [1, 2]. The ERL with split RF structure was discussed recently [3, 4]. The stability conditions for such ERLs are discussed in this paper.
