  The luminosity goal of the CLIC collider, currently under study, imposes micrometer mechanical stability of the 2-m-long two-beam modules, the shortest repetitive elements of the main linacs. These modules will be exposed to variable high power dissipation during operation resulting in mechanical distortions in and between module components. The stability of the CLIC module is being tested in laboratory conditions at CERN in a full-scale prototype module. In this paper, the revised finite element model developed for the CLIC two-beam module is described. In the current model, the structural behavior of the module is studied in more detail compared to the earlier configurations, in particular for what regards the contact modeling. The thermal and structural results for the module are presented considering the thermo-mechanical behavior of the CLIC collider in its primary operation modes. These results will be compared to the laboratory measurements to be done in 2012 with the full-scale prototype module. The experimental results will allow for better understanding of the module behavior and they will be propagated back to the present thermo-mechanical model.

  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.

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.
