  The femtoslicing project at SOLEIL is currently under commissioning. It will enable to serve several beamlines with 100 fs FWHM long pulses of soft and hard X-rays with reasonable flux and with a 1 kHz repetition rate. It is based on the interaction of a femtosecond Ti:Sa laser with electrons circulating in the magnetic field of a modulator wiggler, that provides the electron beam energy modulation on the length scale of the laser pulse. The optimization of the interaction is performed using two dedicated diagnostics stations. The first one, operating in the Infra-Red (IR) is installed in the tunnel and allows the adjustment of the temporal, spectral and spatial overlap between the laser and the electron beam. The second one, located in the IR-THz AILES beamline, measures the intensity of the terahertz (THz) radiation emitted by the local dip structure produced in the core electron beam after interaction. This second setup provides refined optimization of the interaction. This paper describes the layout of these diagnostics and gives first results and characterization of the slicing experiment at SOLEIL.

  The W164 out-vacuum wiggler was designed and built at SOLEIL with the double goal of producing high energy photons for the PUMA beamline (10 keV to 70 keV) and to be used as a modulator for the FEMTOSLICING project. The insertion device requires simultaneously reaching low resonant energy (1.55 eV) and high critical energy of photons (above 10 keV), leading to the choice of high field and large periods. The 3.28 m long wiggler is composed of 20 periods of 164 mm made of NdFeB magnets and vanadium permendur poles. The required effective field for the FEMTOSLICING is 1.53 T and the maximum total field reaches 1.8T at the minimum gap of 14.5 mm. The small transverse size of the poles was optimized to minimize the magnetic forces (8 tons maximum) resulting, together with the large field produced at minimum gap, to a large vertical dynamic field integral (DFI) inside the horizontal physical aperture of the chamber. A dedicated permanent magnet system was designed, constructed and installed at both wiggler ends to cancel the DFI at minimum gap. The construction of the wiggler, the results of the magnetic measurements and the effects on dynamics measured on electron beam are presented.
