  This paper presents development of a new tag supply system for the data-acquisition (DAQ) system for SACLA user experiments. The X-ray Free-Electron Laser facility in SPring-8, SACLA, has delivered X-ray laser beams to users since March 2012 [1]. For the user experiments at SACLA, a dedicated DAQ system has been developed. The DAQ system is currently capable to operate with maximum ten sensors of multiport Charge-Coupled Device (MPCCD) for X-ray detection. The data of ten sensors are read out with individual readout modules. We implement a new tag supply system to ensure the reconstruction of the diffraction image of the user experiments. The tag data are used to synchronize the data. One master server receives a signal given by accelerator and the delivery of the tag data follows to five experimental halls at SACLA and some of monitors at SACLA accelerator. We employ dedicated communication lines to deliver the tag data. The longest distance to deliver the tag data is about one kilometer. We need to update entire softwares of DAQ system for the implementation. We will implement the new system to the DAQ system by the spring 2014.

  In recent years there exists interests in harmonic lasing of free electron lasers for short wavelength operation with low energy electron beams. In a planar undulator , the electron radiates at odd harmonics on axis however the harmonic gain of the FEL is much less than that of fundamental. It has been shown in earlier works that it is possible to enhance the harmonic radiation by increasing the harmonic wiggler field to the fundamental by putting high permeability shims inside the undulator. The common material is the vanadium permendur (μ ~800) , which has been used effectively to design the harmonic undulator. In this paper, we report the design and fabrication of seventh and ninth harmonic undulator for free electron laser applications. We use CRGO shims with μ ~ 2-3. The permanent magnet undulator is a four block per period design. The undulator is a variable gap type and consists of NdFeB magnets with six periods, each period is of 5cm length. The undulator has been measured in hall probe and pulsed wire bench. It is shown that the pulsed wire magnetic measurements yields results in close agreement with hall probe results.

  The Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is the first linac which is equipped with a MTCA.4 based low level RF control system. Precise regulation of RF fields is essential for stable and and reproducible photon generation. Flash benefits from the performance increase using the new developments like, accurate and precise field detection devices. Further enourmous increase of processing capabilities allow for more sophisticated controller applications which better the overall performance of the regulation.

  The Accelerator Module Test Facility (AMTF) at DESY in Hamburg is dedicated to the tests of RF cavities and accelerating cryomodules for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL). The AMTF hall is equipped with two vertical cryostats, which are used for RF cavities testing and three test benches that will be used for tests of the accelerating cryomodules. Recently, the first cryomodule teststand (XATB3) was commissioned and the first XFEL cryomodule (XM-2) was tested by team of physicists, engineers and technicians from The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków, Poland, as a part of Polish in-kind contribution to XFEL. This paper describes the preparation for the cryomodule test, differences with the old teststands CryoModule Test Bench (CMTB), the cryomodule test and the test procedure updates done at the AMTF test bench. The first test of the accelerating cryomodule on the AMTF was successfully performed and the preliminary test results are presented.

THPPA01 FEL R&D Initiatives at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory undulator, FEL, electron, laser 2842

  The successful lasing of the linac coherent light source in 2009, the first x-ray free-electron laser (xFEL) in the world, has opened a new era for x-ray photon science. The unprecedented intensity and coherence of the LCLS photon pulses have enabled groundbreaking experiments in a wide variety of fields ranging from coherent x-ray imaging to molecular and atomic physics. Despite the success of x-ray free-electron lasers, there is a steady push to extend and improve their capabilities fueled by the users' demands for new modes of operation and more precise photon and electron diagnostics. In my talk I will present several R&D initiatives at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory geared towards improving the performance and extending the capabilities of x-ray FELs. In particular I will focus on the spectral manipulation of FELs and our recent development of the multibunch and multicolor x-ray FEL modes at LCLS as well as our demonstration of the longitudinal space-charge amplifier as a broadband coherent light source at the NLCTA test accelerator.
