The Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) is a design concept for a multibeamline soft x-ray FEL array powered by a ~2.4 GeV CW superconducting linear accelerator, operating with a 1 MHz bunch repetition rate. This paper describes the concepts under development for a linac operating at 1.3 GHZ and based on minimal modifications to the design of ILC cryomodules in order to leverage the extensive R&D that resulted in the ILC design. Due to the different nature of the two applications, particular attention is given here to high loaded Q operation andμphonics control, as well as high reliability and expected up time. | ||
