MOPWA080	Design of a Fast, XFEL-quality Wire Scanner	867
	M.A. Harrison, R.B. Agustsson, P.S. Chang, T.J. Hodgetts, A.Y. Murokh, M. Ruelas RadiaBeam, Santa Monica, USA
	RadiaBeam Technologies, in collaboration with the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory, has designed and built a fast wire scanner for transverse beam size measurements in the XFEL Injector Test Facility. The wire scanner utilizes three 25-micron diameter tungsten wires mounted vertically, horizontally, and diagonally on a single alumina card to measure the transverse beam size down to 10 microns with sub-micron accuracy of a 139-MeV electron beam. A double-ended design using dual bellows for actuation is used to reduce the vibrations of the wire holder during motion and negate the effects of air pressure on positioning. The servomotor-driven system is capable of performing full horizontal, vertical, and 45-degree scans in under a minute. Algorithms are presented for removing the broadening effect of the wires' thickness from the scanning data to measure beams that are as small or smaller than the wires. Furthermore, we present formulas for determining the beam's transverse spatial sizes (horizontal and vertical spot size and correlation) from the scan data.

The experiment was performed at Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) using specially upgraded 1.3 GHz 44 MeV linac facility.

WEPWA081	Status of the Praseodymium Undulator with Textured Dysprosium Poles for Compact X-Ray FEL Applications	2298

	The demand for high-brightness hard x-ray fluxes from next generation light sources has spurred the development of insertion devices with shorter periods and higher fields than is feasible with conventional materials and designs. RadiaBeam Technologies is currently developing a novel high peak field, ultrashort period undulator with praseodymium-iron-boron (PrFeB) permanent magnets and textured dysprosium (Tx Dy) ferromagnetic field concentrators. This device will offer an unparalleled solution for compact x-ray light sources, as well as for demanding applications at conventional synchrotron radiation sources. A 1.4T on-axis field has already been achieved in a 9mm period undulator, demonstrating the feasibility of using Tx Dy poles in a hybrid undulator configuration with PrFeB magnets. Facets of the undulator design, optimization of the Tx Dy production and characterization process, and magnetic measurements of Tx Dy will be presented.

	An X-band Traveling wave Deflector mode cavity (XTD) has been developed, fabricated, tuned and characterized by Radiabeam Technologies to perform longitudinal measurement of the sub-picosecond ultra-relativistic electron beams. The device is optimized for the 100 MeV electron beam parameters at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and is scalable to higher energies. The XTD is designed to operate at 11.424 GHz, and features short filling time, femtosecond resolution, and a small footprint. RF design, structure fabrication, cold testing and tuning results are presented.

	RadiaBeam Technologies reports on the RF design, fabrication and high-power tests of a ultra-high gradient S-Band accelerating structure (HGS) operating in the pi-mode at 2.856 GHz. The compact HGS structure offers a drop-in replacement for conventional S-Band linacs in research and industrial applications such as drivers for compact light sources, medical and security systems. The electromagnetic design (optimization of the cell shape in order to maximize RF efficiency and minimize surface fields at very high accelerating gradients) has been carried out with the codes HFSS and SuperFish while the thermal analysis has been performed by using the code ANSYS. The high-power conditioning was carried out at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
