The European XFEL superconducting linac is based on cavities and cryomodules (CM) developed for TESLA linear collider. The XFEL linac will operate nominally in short pulse (sp) mode with 1.3 ms RF pulses (650 μs rise time and 650 μs long bunch train). For 240 ns bunch spacing and 10 Hz RF-pulse repetition rate, up to 27000 bunches per second can be accelerated to 17.5 GeV to generate uniquely high average brilliance photon beams at very short wavelengths. While many experiments can take advantage of full bunch trains, others prefer an increased to several μ-seconds intra-pulse distance between bunches, or short bursts with a kHz repetition rate. For these types of experiments, the high average brilliance can be preserved only with duty factors much larger than that of the currently proposed sp operation. In this contribution, we discuss progress in the R&D program for future upgrade of the European XFEL linac, namely an operation in the continuous wave (cw) and long pulse (lp) mode, which will allow for more flexibility in the electron and photon beam time structure. | |||

Funding: Work supported by the Director, Office of Science, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 The NGLS collaboration is developing design concepts for a multi-beamline soft X-ray FEL array powered by a superconducting linear accelerator, operating in CW mode, with a high bunch repetition rate of approximately 1 MHz. The superconducting linear accelerator design concept is based on existing TESLA and ILC technology, developed for this CW application in a light source. In this paper we describe design options and preferred approaches for the NGLS SRF linac components, cryomodules, and cryosystems. |
