TUPF07 | FLASH Undulator BPM Commissioning and Beam Characterization Results | 315 |
|
||
Recently, the commissioning of FLASH2 has started, a new soft X-ray FEL undulator line at the DESY FLASH facility. In the FLASH2 undulator intersections, the beam positions are measured by 17 cavity beam position monitor (CBPM) pick-ups and electronics* developed for the European XFEL (E-XFEL). In addition four CBPMs are available at FLASH1 for test and development. The new CBPM system enables an unprecedented position and charge resolution at FLASH, thus allowing further analysis and optimization of the FLASH beam quality and overall accelerator performance. Results of first beam measurements as well as correlations with other FLASH diagnostics systems are reported.

TUPF11 | Mechanical Design of Cryogenic Vacuum Feedthroughs for X-FEL Button BPMs | 332 |
|
||
The European XFEL is a 4th generation synchrotron radiation source, currently under construction in Hamburg. Based on different Free-Electron Laser and spontaneous sources and driven by a superconducting accelerator, it will be able to provide several user stations with photons simultaneously. Due to the superconducting technology in the accelerators modules many components have to operate at liquid helium temperature. This poster will concentrate on high frequency ultra high vacuum feedthrough used for the beam position monitors of the cryogenic accelerator modules. Main emphasis will be put on the design of these feedthroughs, their material composition and the production process. The capability to be used under these very special conditions was investigated with FEM simulations, as well as with a test procedure. The results of these simulations will be presented; the tests and their results will be explained in detail. | ||

WEPD11 | Beam-Based Calibration and Performance Optimization of Cavity BPMs for SwissFEL, E-XFEL and FLASH2 | 665 |
|
||
Funding: Part of this work was funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). SwissFEL, the European XFEL (E-XFEL) and FLASH2 all use dual-resonator cavity beam position monitors (CBPMs). The CBPM electronics that is built by PSI has a larger number of calibration parameters that need to be determined in order to maximize the CBPM system performance. Beam measurements with the BPM electronics have been made in BPM test areas at the SwissFEL test injector and FLASH, as well as at FLASH2 where 17 E-XFEL type CBPMs have recently been installed in the undulator intersections [*,**]. The CBPMs are pre-calibrated in the lab using an automated test and calibration system [**], and then the final calibration is done with beam. This report discusses beam-based methods to optimize the system performance by improving the pre-beam system calibration as well as the mechanical alignment of the pickup position and angle. * D.

WEPD12 | Low-Q Cavity BPM Electronics for E-XFEL, FLASH-II and SwissFEL | 670 |
|
||
PSI has developed BPM electronics for low-Q cavity BPMs that will be used in the E-XFEL and FLASH-II undulators, as well as in SwissFEL injector, linac and transfer lines. After beam tests at the SwissFEL test injector and FLASH, a pre-series of the electronics has been produced, tested and commissioned at FLASH-II [1]. The design, system features, signal processing techniques, lab-based test and calibration system as well as latest measurement results are reported. | ||
