  The key for pump-probe and seeding experiments at Free Electron Lasers such as FLASH is a femtosecond precise regulation of the bunch arrival time and compression. To maintain this beam based requirements, both for a single bunch and within a bunch train, it is necessary to combine field and beam based feedback loops. We present in this paper an advancement of the currently implemented beam based feedback system at FLASH. The principle of beam based modulation of the RF set point can be superimposed by a direct feedback loop with a beam optimized controller. Recent measurements of the achieved bunch arrival time jitter reduction to 20 fs have shown the performance gain by this direct feedback method *. The combination of both approaches will be presented and possible advantages are discussed.

  The analytical and numerical calculations for the dynamic of single electron and beam in RF undulator have been conducted and compared. The transverse and longitudinal velocity, trajectory, energy variation, and the spontaneous radiation are studied. It is found that the forward and backward wave (FW/BW) components have different contribution on electron motion and radiation, most of the energy spread comes from FW component, in other words, the effect of FW on modulating the electron energy is much stronger than that of BW for the same undulating-amplitude value, which mechanism has been analyzed.

  The Beam Halo Monitor for Free-electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) based on pCVD diamond and monocrystalline artificial sapphire sensors has been successfully commissioned in September 2009. It is a part of the beam dump diagnostics and ensures safe beam dumping. Its description and the experience gained during its operation are given. The ideas on the design and aspects of operation of the similar systems at FLASH II and the European XFEL are presented.

We describe a simple technique based on a modified echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) scheme to manipulate the three-dimensional electron beam microbunching distribution in order to generate higher-order optical modes in an FEL. As with EEHG, the concept uses two modulators and two chicanes to produce microbunching. However, in one of the modulators, the resonant interaction with the laser has a well-defined transverse structure that becomes strongly correlated to the longitudinal microbunching distribution. Both high-harmonic frequencies and high transverse mode numbers can be generated through a transversely-dependent echo effect.

  Using the group-theoretical point of view for the design of magnetic optical achromats as introduced in*, we study in this paper second- and third-order repetitive achromats with a mirror symmetric or mirror antisymmetric basic cell. We also compare these achromats with repetitive achromats designed without internal cell symmetries taken into account.

  Free-electron lasers are increasingly important tools for the material and biological sciences, and although numerical and analytical theory is extensive, a fundamental question about the nature of the FEL growing modes has remained unanswered. In this proceeding, we present results of a topological nature concerning the number of amplifying solutions to the 1-dimensional FEL equations as related to the energy distribution of the electron bunches.
