Accurate and highly stable temporal synchronization between an electron bunch and a pulse from an external seed laser is one of the key requirements for successful operation of a seeded FEL in the XUV and soft x-ray regime. These requirements become more stringent when the electron bunch is longitudinally compressed to sub-ps durations in order to increase the current for more efficient FEL action. In this paper we present experimental measurements of the electron bunch arrival time jitter after the first magnetic compressor of FERMI@Elettra seeded FEL as a function of the compression factor. The experimental behavior of the pulse-to-pulse time jitter agrees both with results from tracking code simulations and with predictions from an analytical approach that takes into account the different sources of time jitter in FERMI, namely the photoinjector drive laser, the RF accelerating cavity phases and voltages, and fluctuations in the chicane bending magnet currents. We also present predictions for the expected arrival time jitter in the final configuration of FERMI that includes two bunch compressors and for which the synchronization requirement is of order 100 fs or better.

FERMI@Elettra is a fourth generation light source facility presently in commissioning at the Elettra Laboratory in Trieste, Italy. It is based on an S-band (3 GHz), 1.5 GeV normal conducting (NC) linac, that provides ultra short e-bunches with high peak current, using two stages of magnetic compression. To linearize the beam longitudinal phase space and to improve the compression process, a forth harmonic RF structure (12 GHz) has been installed downstream the first magnetic chicane. This paper reports the RF activation of the structure and the preliminary tests performed on the beam.

FERMI@Elettra is a single-pass free-electron laser, based on seeded high-gain harmonic generation. Presently, the first phase of the project (covering the spectral range between 100 and 20 nm) is under commissioning. The free-electron laser performance depends on the quality of the electron beam. In the case of the FERMI linear accelerator, the latter is strongly influenced both by the wake-fields present in the accelerating sections and by possible misalignments of the various accelerator components. In order to investigate and compensate these effects, we performed a study based on local trajectory bumps. We demonstrate that this approach significantly improves the electron-beam quality and, eventually, the free-electron laser performance.

The FERMI@Elettra seeded Free Electron Laser has provided the first photons to the experimental stations during 2011. The first FEL line in operation is FEL-1, covering the wavelength range between 100 nm and 20 nm. The facility will be opened to users by the end of 2012. In the meantime the installation of the second FEL line, FEL-2 covering the higher energy range down to 4 nm, is progressing on schedule and first tests have started. A description of the status of the project is presented here.
