This paper describes the engineering design and installation of the new X-band transverse deflecting cavity installed downstream of the FEL undulator at the LCLS. This is a companion submission to the paper “Commissioning the New LCLS X-Band Transverse Deflecting Cavity with Femtosecond Resolution” also presented at this conference. The project dealt with the challenge of installing a new high-power RF system in the undulator tunnel of the LCLS, outside of the linac tunnel itself and its accelerator engineering infrastructure. A description of the system design, installation, alignment, cooling, controls, vacuum, waveguide, low level RF, klystron and modulator systems for the XTCAV is given, with emphasis on achieving the performance goals necessary to achieve femtosecond resolution.

The new X-band transverse deflecting cavity began operation in May 2013 and is installed downstream of the LCLS undulator. It is operated at the full 120 Hz beam rate without interfering with the normal FEL operation for the photon users. The deflected beam is observed on the electron beam dump profile monitor, which acts as an energy spectrometer in the vertical plane. We observe, on a pulse by pulse basis, the time resolved energy profile of the spent electron beam from the undulator. The structure is powered from a 50 MW X-band klystron, giving a 48 MV kick to the beam which yields a 1 fs rms time resolution on the screen. We have measured the longitudinal profile of the electron bunches both with the FEL operating and with the lasing suppressed, allowing reconstruction of both the longitudinal profile of the incoming electron beam and the time-resolved profile of the X-ray pulse generated in the FEL. We are immediately able to see whether the bunch is chirped and which parts of the bunch are lasing, giving us new insight into tuning the machine for peak performance. The performance of the system will be presented along with examples of measurements taken during LCLS operation.
