  We report on coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) modeling using a new first-principles Lienard-Wiechert solver (CSR3D) that simulates real-world number of particles (624 million to 6.24 billion for 100-pC to 1-nC bunch charges). Using this tool, we have verified the limits of applicability of the common 1-D CSR model, including effect due to transverse beam size and shape. We also have observed energy dependent, wavelength dependent, and transverse-size dependent effects on CSR enhancement from microbunching. Additionally, we describe statistics of CSR shot noise, including dependencies on beam energy and transverse position and resulting energy diffusion. We consider the full transverse equation of motion and also quantify the effect of emittance growth from the bunch’s transverse radiation force.

In a recent experiment conducted on the Jefferson Laboratory IR FEL driver the effects of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) on beam quality were studied. The primary goal of this work was to explore CSR output and effect on the beam with variation of the bunch compression in the IR chicane. This experiment also provides a valuable opportunity to benchmark existing CSR models in a system that may not be fully represented by a 1-D CSR model. Here we present results from this experiment and compare to initial simulations of CSR in the magnetic compression chicane of the machine. Finally, we touch upon the possibility for CSR induced microbunching gain in the magnetic compression chicane, and show that parameters in the machine are such that it should be thoroughly damped.

It is shown on an example of amorphous quartz, under the influence of a standing microwave field, at its certain parameters, superlattice is created in the medium where difference in values of dielectric constants of neighboring layers can be up to third order. This superlattice exists during the nanosecond, however it is sufficient for using it as a radiator for generation of transition radiation by relativistic electrons.

  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.

  An overview of the Aramis Hard-X ray FEL line of SwissFEL is presented, showing its future integration in the tunnel as well as the space reservation for possible future upgrades: Athos Soft X-ray FEL line, post-undulator deflecting cavities. The design of the FEL components like the energy collimator, the matching sections or the dog leg transfer line linking the linac to the future Athos line are almost completed. The characterization of the in-vacuum undulator prototype is described in a companion paper. The installation of the components will start in spring 2015 while the first photons are planned for December 2016 with the alignment and adjustment of the undulators foreseen for first SASE operation by spring 2017 .
