  The Short Pulse Facility (SPF) of the MAX IV Laboratory in Lund, Sweden features the production of ultrashort, incoherent x-ray pulses. It is driven by a 3-GeV linac and comprises two 5-metre undulator modules. While the SPF is designed for spontaneous radiation, we explore alternative operation modes in which the SPF functions as a simple free-electron laser (FEL). In this article, we characterize two of them in time-dependent numerical simulations. We perform a sensitivity study on the electron beam parameters and examine the technique of single-step tapering.

TUP002 Further Studies of Undulator Tapering in X-Ray FELs 321

  We further the studies of the model-based optimization of tapered free-electron lasers presented in a recent publication [Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 18, 040702 (2015)]. Departing from the ideal case, wherein the taper profile is a smooth and continuous function, we consider the more realistic case, with individual undulator segments separated by break sections. Using the simulation code GENESIS, we apply our taper optimization method to a case, which closely resembles the FLASH2 facility in Hamburg, Germany. By comparing steady-state and time-dependent simulations, we examine how time-dependent effects alter the optimal taper scenario. From the simulation results, we also deduce that the "traditional" empirical method, whereby the intermediate radiation power is maximized after closing every undulator gap, does not necessarily produce the highest final power at the exit of the undulator line.

  The linear accelerator at the MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden, was constructed for injection and top up of the two storage rings and as a high brightness driver for the Short Pulse Facility. It is also prepared to be used as an injector for a possible future Free Electron Laser. Installation of the linac was completed and beam commissioning started in the early fall of 2014. In this paper we present the progress during the first phase of commissioning along with results from initial measurements of optics, emittance, beam energy and charge.

  The MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden is currently under commissioning. There are two guns in the current MAX IV injector, one thermionic gun for storage ring injection and one photocathode gun for the Short Pulse Facility. There is a possibility of extending the facility to include a Free Electron Laser. To investigate how the beam from the injector can be improved and how to match it to the future requirements for a FEL, the emittance meter from SPARC has been recommissioned at the MAX IV gun test stand. In this paper we report on the progress of this work and results from the first measurements.

  The MAX IV facility in Lund, Sweden is currently under commissioning. In the MAX IV injector there are two guns, one thermionic gun for storage ring injection and one photocathode gun for the Short Pulse Facility. The commissioning of the injector and the LINAC has been ongoing for the last year and ring commissioning is due to start shortly. In this paper we will present the results from beam performance experiments for the injector at the current stage of commissioning.
