	The SLC damping ring provides emittance reduced beam to the beginning of the FACET accelerator. In measurements conducted during the 2012 FACET run, we find the bunch-length to be ~20% longer than canonical. A study is performed with longitudinal simulation code to determine the impact on the various stages of compression for FACET experimental running.

The Facility for Advanced aCcelerator Experimental Tests (FACET) consists of the first two-thirds of the SLAC two-mile linac followed by a final focus and experimental end station. To date, wakefield-dominated emittance growth and dispersion in the linac, as well as dispersive and chromatic effects in the final focus have precluded regular reliable operation that meets the design parameters for final spot size. In this work, a 6-D particle tracking code (Lucretia) is used to simulate the complete machine, with input parameters taken directly from saved machine configurations. Sensitivities of various tuning parameters to the final spot sizes are compared with measurements taken from the real machine, and a set of tuning protocols is determined to improve regular machine operation.

The FACET accelerator facility is designed to provide short and intense e^- or e⁺ bunches with small spot size for plasma wakefield accelerator research and other experiments. It is based on the SLAC linac with a compressor chicane in sector-10, and a second compressor chicane and final focus in sector-20 (S20). Originally, the S20 chicane was designed to be compatible with an upgrade to include a second S20 chicane for simultaneous transport of e^- and e⁺ bunches. This placed additional optics constraints which lead to strong focusing in the S20 chicane. The latter increases the effects of errors causing emittance growth. Lately, it has been decided not to proceed with the upgrade option. Therefore, there is a potential for improving the optics by relaxing the constraints. In this study, we explore alternative optics designs where beta functions in the S20 chicane and final focus are reduced in order to minimize the error effects. The optics and non-linear aberrations are evaluated, and the chromatic correction is optimized for each design. Beam tracking simulations are performed using Elegant and Lucretia. The most optimal designs are identified based on these simulations.

A study is performed with longitudinal simulation code to determine the impact on the various stages of compression for FACET experimental running.
