  Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is developing design concepts for a multi-beamline (up to 10 lines) soft x-ray FEL array powered by a superconducting linear accelerator with a high bunch repetition rate of approximately one MHz. The FEL array requires a beam spreader system which can distribute individual electron bunches from the linac to each independently configurable beamline. We propose a new spreader system using RF deflecting cavities to deflect electron bunches as an alternative design to the fast kicker scheme. This RF approach offers more stable deflection amplitude while removing the limitations on the bunch repetition rate characteristic of the kicker approach. In this work, we describes the design concept of this RF based spreader system, including technical choices, design parameters and beamline optics.

The NGLS collaboration is developing design concepts for a multi-beamline soft x-ray FEL array powered by a superconducting linear accelerator, operating with a high bunch repetition rate of approximately 1 MHz. The CW superconducting linear accelerator design is based on developments of TESLA and ILC technology, and is supplied by an injector based on a high-brightness, high-repetition-rate photocathode electron gun. Electron bunches from the linac are distributed by RF deflecting cavities to the array of independently configurable FEL beamlines with nominal bunch rates of ~100 kHz in each FEL, with uniform pulse spacing, and some FELs capable of operating at the full linac bunch rate. Individual FELs may be configured for different modes of operation, including self-seeded and external-laser-seeded, and each may produce high peak and average brightness x-rays with a flexible pulse format, and with pulse durations ranging from femtoseconds and shorter, to hundreds of femtoseconds. In this paper we describe current design concepts, and progress in R&D activities.

The planned Next Generation Light Source at LBNL is designed to deliver MHz repetition rate electron beams to an array of free electron lasers. Because of the high beam power approaching one MW in such a facility, effective beam collimation is extremely important to minimize radiation damage, prevent quenches of superconducting cavities, limit dose rates outside of the accelerator tunnel and prevent equipment damage. We describe the conceptual design of a collimation system, including detailed simulations to verify its effectiveness.
