It has been proposed to implement an Achromatic Telescopic Squeezing (ATS) scheme* in the high luminosity LHC lattice to reduce the beta functions at the Interaction Points (IP) up to a factor of 8. As a consequence, the nominal 4.5-km peak beta functions reached in the inner triplets at collision will be increased by the same factor. This therefore justifies the installation of new, larger aperture superconducting triplet quadrupoles. These higher beta functions will enhance the effects of the triplet quadrupole field errors leading to smaller beam dynamic aperture. To maintain the acceptable dynamic aperture, the effects of the triplet multipole field errors must be re-evaluated, thus specifying new tolerances. Such a study has been performed for the so-called “4444” collision optics of the ATS scheme, where the IP beta functions are reduced by a factor of 4 in both planes with respect to a pre-squeezed value of 60 cm at two collision points. The dynamic aperture calculations were performed using SixTrack. The impact on the triplets’ field quality is studied and presented in details.

There is great interest in generating a terawatt (TW) hard X-ray free electron laser (FEL) that will enable coherent diffraction imaging of complex molecules like proteins and probe fundamental high-field physics. A feasibility study of producing such pulses was carried out em- ploying a configuration beginning with an SASE amplifier, followed by a "self-seeding" crystal monochromator, and finishing with a long tapered undulator. The undulator tapering profile, the phase advance in the undulator break sections, the quadrupole focusing strength, etc. are parameters to be optimized. A genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted for this multi-dimensional optimization. Concrete examples are given for LCLS/LCLS-II systems.

  Energy extraction efficiency of a free electron laser (FEL) can be increased when the undulator is tapered. In this paper, we report a multi-dimensional optimizer to maximize the radiation power in a tapered FEL by searching for an optimal taper profile as well as a reasonable variation in electron beam radius. Applications of the proposed multi-dimensional optimization to the terawatt-level, tapered FELs with LCLS-like electron beam parameters are presented, and the proposed optimization scheme is compared with the GINGER’s self-design taper algorithm. At the end, the dependence of the available maximum radiation power on various parameters of the initial electron beam, the initial radiation field and the undulator system is summarized.

  Energy extraction efficiency of a free electron laser (FEL) can be increased when the undulator is tapered. An in-depth understanding of the tapering-related physics is required to explore the full potential of a tapered FEL, not only by tapering the undulator parameters in longitudinal dimension, but also optimizing the transverse effects. Based on the modified 1D FEL model and time-steady numerical simulations, we study the contribution of the variation in electron beam radius and the related transverse effects. Taking a terawatt-level, 120-m tapered FEL as example, we demonstrate that a reasonably varied, instead of a constant, electron beam radius along the undulator helps to improve the optical guiding and thus the radiation output.
