In next generation high repetition rate FELs, beam energy loss due to resistive wall wakefields will produce significant amount of heat. The heat load for a superconducting undulator (operating at low temperature), must be removed and will be expensive to remove. In this paper, we study this effect in an undulator proposed for a Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) at LBNL. We benchmark our calculations with measurements at the LCLS and carry out detailed parameter studies using beam from a start-to-end simulation. Our preliminary results suggest that the heat load in the undulator is about 2 W/m with an aperture size of 6 mm for nominal NGLS design parameters.

For a complex accelerator such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), a transfer matrix based online model might not be sufficient for the entire machine. On the other hand, if introducing another modelling tools, physics applications have to be rewritten for all modelling tools. A platform which can host multiple modelling tools would be ideal for such scenario. Furthermore, the model platform along with infrastructure support can be used not only for online applications but also for offline purposes with multi-particle tracking simulation. In order to achieve such a platform, a set of common physics data structures has to be set. XAL's accelerator hierarchy based data structure is a good choice as the common structure for various models. Application Programming Interface (API) for physics applications should also be defined within a model data provider. A preliminary platform design and prototype is discussed.

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.

We report on experimental results of FEL self-seeding with Angstrom wavelengths at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC. The scheme, suggested at DESY*, replaces the 16th 4-m long undulator segment (out of 33 total) with a weak magnetic chicane and a diamond-based monochromator in Bragg transmission geometry. The monochromatized SASE FEL pulse from the first half of the undulator line then seeds the second half. This demonstration of hard x-ray self-seeding is shown to narrow the FEL bandwidth by a factor 40-50, allows longitudinally coherent x-ray pulses near the Fourier-transform limit, and may eventually allow an increases in peak brightness by 1-2 orders of magnitude after applying an aggressive undulator field taper.
