MOYAA01 Innovative Ideas for Single-pass FELs electron, FEL, operation, photon 12

  SASE FELs are a powerful light source in short wavelengths from VUV to X-ray regions to investigate matters and phenomena. SASE was first experimentally obtained in 2000 at DESY TTF with an output wavelength of 109 nm. Subsequently, FLASH, LCLS and SACLA have achieved lasing in VUV, soft X-rays and hard X-rays. Although SASE has already been widely used for many application experiments in broad scientific fields, its spiky spectrum and time structures due to the lack of longitudinal coherence sometimes become problematic. To improve its longitudinal coherence, various ideas have been proposed and some of them are already demonstrated experimentally, such as a self-seeded scheme, high-gain harmonic generation (HGHG) and echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG). There is also another direction of developments to enhance the capability and potentiality of SASE, for example short pulse generation and two-color lasing. This talk will review recent innovative ideas of short wavelength FELs together with their experimental results.

MOPRO057 Undulator Photon Beams with Orbital Angular Momentum emittance, photon, experiment, storage-ring 213

  Photons carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) are present in the off-axis radiation of higher harmonics of helical undulators. Usually, the purity and visibility of OAM photons is blurred by electron beam emittance. However, high brightness OAM beams are expected in ultimate storage rings and FELs, and they may trigger a new class of experiments utilizing the variability of the topological charge, a 3rd degree of freedom besides wavelength and polarization. We report on the first detection of OAM photons in helical undulator radiation in the 3rd generation storage ring BESSY II. Measurements and simulations are compared and the impact of emittance and energy spread is discussed.

  Update of the first-generation undulators installed in 1980s is pushed forward at PF-Ring, a 2.5-GeV SR source of KEK, taking advantage of the expanded straight sections reconstructed in 2005. New undulators have been designed as elliptically polarizing undulators each has 6 magnetic arrays to obtain various polarization states, not only circular polarization but also linear (horizontal and vertical) polarization. Three undulators will be installed in FY2013 and FY2014 for BL02, BL13 and BL28. For BL02, the longest straight section of about 9 m, the new undulator will be installed in tandem with the existing planar undulator, in order to cover the wide photon energy range from 15 eV to 2 keV. At PF-AR, a 6.5-GeV SR source, a new direct beam transport (BT) line from the injector LINAC is under construction. Super KEKB which shares the injector LINAC with PF-Ring and PF-AR will be commissioned at the end of FY2014. The full-energy continuous injection of PF-AR will be available as a simultaneous injection with the 7-GeV HER, the 4-GeV LER and PF-Ring not so later than the commissioning of Super KEKB.

  Vicky is a computer code for designing and simulating charged particle accelerators*. We recall mainly that Vicky is a very user friendly code, the particle motion is described by 10 parameters: four beta-functions, four alpha-functions and two phase advances, and a large variety of insertion devices, wigglers and undulators, linearly and elliptically polarized, are treated. The features include Twiss functions matching, orbit correction, tune and chromaticity adjustment, dynamic aperture and phase space tracking. The paper describes new aspects and the present status.

The baseline design of the ILC (International Linear Collider) positron source requires the production of an intense flux of gamma rays. In this paper we present an investigation of using the gamma ray beam of the ILC for additional applications, including nuclear physics. As a result of changing the collimator shape, as well as the parameters of the undulator magnets, we obtained spectra from numerical simulations using the HUSR/GSR software package. We present results from simulations and a discussion of possible future investigations in this paper.

The “Linac Coherent Light Source–II” Project, initiated in September 2010, has gone through a radical transformation beginning in August 2013. In its new form, LCLS-II will construct a 4 GeV CW superconducting linac in the first kilometre of the existing linac tunnel. A new undulator, optimized as a soft x-ray (200-1,300 eV) source, will receive electrons from the new SC linac. The existing undulator system will be replaced with a new variable gap device, which will receive electrons from either the new SC linac (providing 1-5 keV photons) or the copper linac presently used by LCLS (providing 1-25 keV x-rays). First light from the new facility is expected in September 2019.

Backward Compton scattering (BCS) of X-ray photons emitted by undulator and reflected back by a single crystal from the electron beam can produce a quasi-monochromatic gamma-ray beam up to an energy very close to the electron beam energy. The SPring-8 beam diagnostics beamline (BL05SS) is used to inject a reflected undulator X-ray radiation against 8 GeV stored electron beam and to extract a quasi-monochromatic 8 GeV gamma-ray produced by BCS. BL05SS has conditions to do a pilot experiment to obtain the gamma-ray beam using BCS of X-ray photons from existing undulator. Experimental setup including a Bragg mirror system is now under construction. Preliminary reflectivity measurement of a silicon Bragg mirror using around 10keV photons has been done. Status of the experimental preparation and the future outlook is presented.

TUZB01 Prospects for the use of Permanent Magnets in Future Accelerator Facilities permanent-magnet, radiation, lattice, dipole 968
 
  • J. Chavanne, G. Le Bec
    ESRF, Grenoble, France
 
  Permanent magnet based accelerator magnets may offer a viable alternative to their conventional electromagnetic pairs for many applications, especially where strong gradients and low power consumption is needed. As an example, the development of future light sources based on ultimate storage ring needs to be done in an important energy saving context aiming at a significant reduction of operational costs. After more than two decades of continuous developments in the field of permanent insertion devices, a knowledge capital on different issues such as aging effects has been gained. This technology seems ready to jump into the design and construction of advanced accelerator magnets. This talk reviews the status of the permanent magnet technology and the perspectives for its implementations in standard lattice magnets, highlighting both the advantages and the challenges as compared to electromagnetic magnets.

  Design, assembly, field shimming, and performance of APPLE-II type undulators in NSRRC are described in this article. Essentially, the mechanical error has been well controlled based on the optimize design and mechanical arts. Effectively initial sorting of permanent magnets is developed to minimize several adverse effects, such as magnetic inhomogeneities, no perfection geometry of blocks, and mechanical frame issue, those challenge the sorting expectation, especially for an adjusted polarization undulator. The sorting algorithm shows a quantitative prediction of magnetic field and is verified by measurement results. 2D virtual shimming algorithm has been developed to optimize field quality, including multipole, phase error, and particle trajectory. We describe the considering of each procedure and demonstrate the optimization together with measurement results.

Advanced magnetic optic designs are required to meet the heavy demands of future light sources: diffraction limited emittance, femto-second pulses and low energy spread. This paper highlights the magnetic optic that is presently being investigated in the ERL-simulation group at HZB. The injector optic is based on subtle emittance compensation techniques of space charge dominated beams. The high energy arcs are designed to suppress emittance growth due to CSR through horizontal phase advance manipulation, ISR effects by keeping the radiation integrals small and reduce the degradation due to chromatic aberrations. Optimised Start-to-End beam dynamic simulations are presented.

  At the ELBE radiation source two super-radiant THz sources, a broad-band trasnsition/diffraction radiation source and a planar undulator narrow-band sourc are under commissioning. At present the facility is driven from the ELBE linac with a CW electron beam of 100kHz repetition rate and up to 100pC of bunch charge. With the upgraded SRF electron gun bunch charges up to 1nC will become available. For the beam energies in the 20-30 MeV range buch compression into the sub-200 fs range becomes a major challenge. We present beam dynamics calculation of the attempted bunch compression scheme as well as first measurements obtained during the commissioning.

  The present fixed-gap undulator system for FLASH1 and the new FLASH2 undulators will share the same electron beam accelerator, thus 12 variable gap undulators are needed in order to provide radiation of different wavelengths to both experimental halls independently. Each of the 12 devices has a length of 2.5m. The magnet structure with a period length of 31.4mm provides a maximum field of 0.96T with an effective K-parameter of 2.81 at minimum gap. Phase, vertical and horizontal trajectories have been tuned based on Hall probe and stretched wire measurements. Remaining multipoles were optimized with moderate gap dependence by using magic fingers. At some magnet structures, shims were placed to correct gap dependent field integrals. All undulators have an rms vertical and horizontal trajectory flatness <6Tmm2 for all gaps corresponding to an rms trajectory roughness (at 1GeV) along the structure of ~2um. The rms phase error is below 2° over the entire gap range.

TUPRO085 Properties, Options and Limitations of PrFeB-magnets for Cryogenic Undulators cryogenics, permanent-magnet, induction, polarization 1238

  The gap induction and thus the K-factor of permanent magnet undulators may be increased by cooling them to cryogenic temperatures. The use of NdFeB-magnets in cryogenic undulators, however, is limited to temperatures above 140 K due to the spin-reorientation transition (SRT) which leads to a reduction of the magnetization level. A further increase of the gap induction in undulators may be achieved by use of PrFeB-magnets at even lower temperatures, as this alloy does not show the SRT phenomenon. Although the effects are well known, up to now only a few undulator prototypes were built using this class of material since the coercivity of ternary PrFeB-magnets is not sufficient to minimize the risk of partial demagnetization when the undulator structure is kept at room temperature. This problem can be solved by applying actual technologies like grain-boundary diffusion in order to achieve coercivities exceeding 20 kOe at RT without sacrificing the high remanence Br of about 1.6 T at 77 K. We will provide actual data of the magnet performance achieved and show up the technological limitations in building PrFeB-based CPMU’s.

  A common problem for elliptically polarizing undulators (EPUs) is that the magnetic forces give a mechanical deflection in the magnet holder construction when changing the undulator phase. Gluing horizontally and vertically magnetized blocks together can increase the mechanical stability of the magnet holders. The gluing process of pairs of magnetized magnet blocks is time-consuming, expensive and difficult to carry out with high positional precision. A novel magnet production technique has been developed where un-magnetized pairs of blocks are glued together before magnetization. The large number of parts, the time for assembly, and the cost of the EPU can be reduced with the novel magnet production technique. The novel magnet production method has been used for a 2.6 m long EPU of APPLE-II type, which has been built in-house at the MAX IV Laboratory. The frame for the EPU is made of cast iron in order to get a small mechanical deformation when changing phase in the inclined mode. The paper includes detailed descriptions of the novel magnet production technique, including measurements of the magnetization, and the new EPU.

  Two collinear in-vacuum undulators (IU22) are adopted for light source of X-ray coherence beamline in Taiwan photon source. Each undulator is 3 meter and the drift space between two undulator is 3.991m. The synchrotron radiation is propagating in the longitudinal direction and will result in a serious heat load problem for undualtor downstream. The magnet array of undualtor downstream will received the synchrotron radiation of 142W from upstream bending magnet and undualtor. Heat load is a critical challenge for in-vacuum undulator in double mini-beta Y lattice and therefore details analysis in this paper.

  The International Linear Collider requires an intense polarized positron beam with yields of about 1014 positrons per second. A polarized positron beam can be produced with a helical undulator passed by the accelerated electron beam to create a high power polarized photon beam. The photon beam penetrates a thin titanium-alloy rotating target wheel of 1m diameter with 500 to 2000 rpm rotation speed and produces polarized positrons. The system should run for 1-2 years without failure. A break down can occur due to the huge heat load in a short time (<1ms). The target design must keep the resulting thermo-mechanical stress below the yield strength and the fatigue limit of the material. FEM ANSYS simulations are used to evaluate the thermo-mechanical stress as well as the vibrations at the bearings of the rotating system. Results are presented with the goal to optimize the target wheel design parameters for a long lifetime.

  Measurements of the vertical single bunch mode detuning and the TMCI threshold at zero chromaticity were carried out and their results were compared to the theoretical expectation. Around 65% of the found mode detuning can be explained by a developed transverse impedance model. A good bunch length parametrisation with current contributed essentially to this result. The analysis of single bunch measurements at non-zero chromaticity will also be presented.

  Since initial operation for users in Jan 2007, Diamond Light Source has developed to support a suite of 22 experimental stations. These stations have resulted in the installation of 24 undulators and two superconducting wigglers in the storage ring. To preserve optics, tune and coupling with the operation of these devices has necessitated the implementation of a number of feed-forward and feedback schemes. The implementation and operation of these correction schemes will be described.

  Since 2011, high power lasers have been delivered stably to the users at SACLA, the SPring-8 Angstrom compact free electron laser, and the upgrades have been performing to obtain the high quality of the laser continuously. Optical fiber based Cherenkov beam loss monitors have been successfully operated from the commissioning phase. This monitor covers the undulator section of beam lines and the electron beam transporting tunnel from SACLA to SPring-8. This monitor is made good use of not only beam transport but also detection of the small beam loss such as electron halos hitting the magnets of undulator. In this presentation, we will report the present status of the Cherenkov beam loss monitor and its usage experience.

WEOAA02 Development of the Very Short Period Undulators radiation, electron, photon, vacuum 1845
 
  • S. Yamamoto
    KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
 
  We have been exploring a method to fabricate very short period undulators, a period length of which is one order-of-magnitude shorter than the ordinary period of several cm. We are developing a plate-type magnet some 100mm long with a period length of 4mm. We selected this period length since we can generate 12-keV radiation with the first harmonic of this undulator in the 2.5-GeV storage ring. A multi-pole magnetizing method was applied to magnetizing this plate: a periodic undulator field (of 4-mm period in this case) was generated by pulsed electro-magnets, and was transcribed into the plate. The magnetization procedure allows the undulator field to be obtained in a very short gap between the pair of opposing plates, which is also one order-of-magnitude shorter than a gap in the ordinary undulators. We report the magnetization method to obtain a very short period and present the test results. The calculated spectrum of the radiation from the measured field compares well with that from an ideal magnetic field in the region of the fundamental radiation in case of 2.5-GeV energy of the electron beam.

A light source facility employing the coherent harmonic generation (CHG) principle is being commissioned and operated since 2011 at DELTA, a 1.5-GeV electron storage ring at the TU Dortmund University, with the purpose of providing ultrashort coherent VUV radiation for time-resolved experiments. CHG is based on the interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with electrons in an undulator to generate coherent harmonics of the laser wavelength. Different methods have been used to optimize, detect and characterize the CHG radiation. One example is the study of transverse and longitudinal coherence properties in double-slit and Michelson experiments. Moreover, final steps towards performing pump-probe experiments to study ultrafast magnetic phenomena have been taken.

Microwave waveguides can in principle be used for undulators with periods less than 1 cm. Intensive work has been done on the recently proposed design that operates at the HE11 hybrid mode of a corrugated waveguide; successful experimental results have been reported recently [S.Tantawi Talk at POSIPOL 2012]. In this presentation we propose a beam driven design for an undulator based on an electron bunch train powering a microwave or mm waveguide. The drive bunch train propagates towards the undulating beam inside a dielectric loaded structure or corrugated waveguide generating high power RF. The “smart” waveguide design and a proper bunch spacing of the electron drive beam train provide single mode generation of the high magnitude undulating field that gives an undulator parameter in the range of K~1 for a high frequency device.*

  Cryogenic in vacuum permanent magnet undulators with periods less than 10 mm and correspondingly narrow gaps require tighter geometric and magnetic tolerances and complex pole designs from different materials to achieve the needed high field strengths. We use new mechanic designs and manufacturing technologies for magnet and pole assembly. We develop new precise and UHV-compatible joining methods which are different from the current approaches which are based on mechanical clamping or gluing. . We examine the mechanical and magnetic properties by performing tests and discuss the results.

  This paper reports about aspects of design, manufacturing, and commissioning of the 12 FLASH2 variable gap undulator segments. The accuracy of gap drive and encoder systems was tested by magnetic measurements; changes in the phase error proved to be a highly sensitive probe to verify a reproducibility of 1 μm. After magnetic tuning of the IDs, the remaining gap dependence in the field integrals could be successfully compensated by corrector coils. Inconsiderate handling of components during assembling necessitated an elaborate demagnetisation process before the tuning could start.

    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  The FLASH2 SASE undulator section consists of 12 IDs. Each of them is followed by an intersection component comprising a phase shifter and various parts for diagnostics and beam steering. The phase shifter is a compact and simple electromagnetic chicane and has to assure constructive interference of the radiation of adjacent undulators for all wavelengths. The magnetic performance, field errors and the hysteresis behavior have been investigated and were found to be within the required accuracy. The results are discussed in relation to the undulator conditions. From these data tables for steering the phase shifter current as function of undulator gap were derived and implemented in the control system.

  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.

  FLASH2 is an extension of the present VUV-FEL facility at DESY. It includes a separate tunnel with a 12 x 2.5m = 30m long planar hybrid undulator. The undulators have 31.4mm period length and 1T field at a minimum gap of 9mm. The paper presents recent progress in the magnetic measurements of these undulators. Several specific details of the measurement tools will be discussed like peculiarities in the Hall probe calibration and noise, positioning accuracy and synchronization of voltage measurement with probes movement during scan, noise issues of various voltage integrators for stretched wire and search coil measurements.

  In the new octant of PETRA~III, there are 14 undulator beamlines covering photon energy range from 0.3keV to 150keV. There are also 80m of damping wigglers in order to achieve a low emittance of 1nmrad. Some of these devices, operating at PETRAIII since 2008, accumulated total radiation doses of about 100kGy. Visible corrosion at the magnet structures of some permanent magnet undulators setting in after a few years and a high dose rate measured regularly by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) gave reason to inspect the magnetic field of all insertion devices in the PETRA tunnel. This paper presents details of the magnetic field degradation caused by radiation damage to the undulator magnets. For some undulators changes in the spectral properties of the generated light were observed. It was measured with different taper settings in order to partly compensate the nonuniform demagnetization along the structure. The results are compared with the data from the sFLASH undulators and measurements of special 3 pole "sacrificial" undulator, installed in FLASH. Its magnetic field is periodically remeasured and shows field amplitude decrease of 1% per 16kGy accumulated dose.

This undulator in combination with a specialized beam transport line will be employed to produce undulator radiation with natural bandwidth despite the relatively large energy spread of the electrons produced by the LWFA. The fabrication of this undulator and first results of the magnetic field measurement are discussed in this paper.

  An intense on-axis radiation power from an undulator is a serious problem especially for a low-photon-energy beamline in a facility with high or medium energy storage ring. This problem may be solved by using a Figure-8, a Pera, or a Knot undulator configuration*,**. However, these schemes are useless for variably polarizing undulators such as an APPLE undulator and other similar variations since such devices are not capable for reducing on-axis power density in the linear mode. In these circumstances, we have completed a conceptual magnet design of Knot-APPLE udulator which is capable to generate elliptically polarized radiation as well as linearly polarized radiation. This pure permanent magnet device is equipped with a motion mechanism of APPLE undulator. In this paper, we present detailed magnet design feature, magnetic field distributions, and radiation properties including variations of polarization in comparisons with other exotic devices. In addition, a possibility to introduce a quasi-periodicity in this type of undulator is considered in order to achieve further reduction of second and third harmonic radiation intensities.

  Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) is developing 10 GeV, 0.1 nm SASE based FEL for high power, short pulse X-ray coherent photon sources named PAL-XFEL. At the first stage PAL-XFEL needs two undulator lines for photon source. PAL is developing undulator magnetic structure based on EU-XFEL design. Recently, the hard X-ray undulator changed its minimum magnetic gap to 8.3 mm from the previous 7.2 mm to alleviate the wake field impact, and to increase the allowances for the re alignment. Accordingly, the period is also changed from 24.4 mm to 26.0 mm to generate 0.1 nm at 10 GeV electron energy. In this report, the modification efforts and the progress on the prototyping of hard x-ray undulator system will be presented.

  Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) is developing the SASE based FEL for X-ray coherent photon sources. The PAL developed the prototype undulator that was 5.0 m magnetic length. The PAL has constructed the undulator field measurement facility to confirm the field qualities of the XFEL undulators in the assembly building. The temperature stability of the measurement rooms was controlled within ±0.1°C. Two field measurement benches that included Hall probe scan, flip coil and stretched wire system were installed and evaluated their performances. The field profile of the prototype undulator was characterized and shimmed using the installed measurement system. This paper described the field measurement facility with the performance test results of the two benches.

WEPRO041 Undulator Radiation Spectral Broadening Due To Radiation Energy Loss radiation, electron, simulation, photon 2035
 
  • N.V. Smolyakov
    NRC, Moscow, Russia
 
  A relativistic electron passing through an undulator generates electromagnetic radiation at the expenses of its own kinetic energy. This effect is usually not taken into account if the number of periods of the undulator is relatively small (100 - 200). However, at FEL facilities, long installations have been built, planned or are under construction, where many undulators are installed one after another for a total of several thousand undulator periods. For instance, the SASE1 and SASE2 lines at the European XFEL will consist of 35 undulators with 124 periods each. In this case, because of the electron energy decrease along its trajectory, the radiation from different undulators will drop out of synchronism. As a result, the radiation spectral line will be much wider. In the presented report, this effect was analyzed analytically and numerically. An expression for the critical number of undulator periods, when the effect of electron energy loss should be properly taken into account, is derived. It is found that, for the case of the European XFEL, this number is about 1200 periods.

  A cryogenic undulator with a permanent magnet (CPMU) is an important insertion device now under construction at NSRRC. For an undulator of this kind, the distribution of the magnetic field must be measured along the axis; the phase error, trajectory and photon flux must be calculated after the magnetic arrays are installed in the vacuum chamber and cooled to cryogenic temperature. We developed a Hall-probe system to measure the magnetic field in an evacuated environment; this system uses lasers and stages to monitor and to correct dynamically the positions of the Hall probe. All components installed inside the vacuum chamber are compatible with an environment of high vacuum and low temperature. The details of the design and completed fabrication are presented in this paper.

  Cryocooled permanent magnet undulators (CPMUs) using NdFeB magnets around 150K were first proposed by Hara*. These are cooled by using either GM cryocoolers or circulating sub-cooled liquid nitrogen. Due to the heat load from radiation and wakefield heating from the electron beam, temperature gradients can develop along the length of the magnet girders which could be as large as several degrees for the Diamond Light Source (DLS) storage ring operating parameters. Some grades of the magnetic material (NdxPr1-x)2Fe14B have remanence curves versus temperature which increase significantly for temperatures below 150K with peaks below 80K**. This means that the operating temperature of a CPMU using this material can be close to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. The proposed cooling system for the new DLS CPMU is based on a thermosiphon allowing nitrogen to boil inside the cooling channels without a circulating pump. This has the advantage of absorbing large amounts (>250W) of heat with very small temperature gradients. We report here the results of a prototype magnet beam cooled with a thermosiphon producing a temperature gradient of less than 0.05K along a 2m beam at ~77K.

Tiny round electron beams of free-electron lasers and relatively new diffraction-limited storage rings make possible utilization of electromagnetic helical undulators based on double-helical windings. It has been understood for a while that a coaxial pair of double-helical windings can generate helical as well as planar magnetic fields*. Such a coil structure can potentially be realized with superconducting windings thus forming the concept of a universal superconducting undulator (Universal SCU). An example of a possible universal SCU for the recently suggested Advanced Photon Source multi-bend achromat storage ring is given in this paper. The results of the magnetic simulation together with initial cryogenic considerations are presented.

A superconducting test undulator SCU0 was installed into the storage ring of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) in December 2012 and has been in user operation since January 2013. The first year's experience of operating such a novel insertion device at the APS is summarized in this paper. The performance of the SCU0 as a photon source is presented. The measured heat load from the electron beam is described together with the observed cryogenic behavior of the device. The effect of the SCU0 on the APS electron beam is also presented.

  In Travelling-Wave Thomson Scattering (TWTS) the pulse front of a high-power, short-pulse laser is tilted and the dispersion of the pulse is controlled in such a way that electrons can interact over a long distance with a quasi-monochromatic electromagnetic wave. We present a complete three dimensional analytic time-dependent description of the TWTS field and use this description to derive an analytic FEL equation that shows that TWTS indeed provides for an all-optical FEL. We further derive conditions for optimum operation of the TWTS FEL, showing that EUV and XUV FEL sources are in reach using Petawatt lasers and conventional few-hundred MeV electron sources. Future laser-wakefield accelerators could potentially drive all-optical TWTS-FELs in the X-ray and beyond. TWTS itself is optimum to provide full flexibility in terms of the wavelength and bandwidth of the scattered radiation, allowing for application-optimized, highly-brilliant Thomson Scattering sources for a broad range of wavelengths from the EUV to the gamma ray spectral region.

  At the Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF), two different storage ring options are being studied. The designs differ in emittance. In the first option the calculated emittance is 3.278 nm-rad whereas for the second option emittance is 0.937 nm-rad. In this paper the electron beam emittance effects on the source radiation properties from bending magnet, wiggler and undulator, X-ray optics and the beamline design are carefully studied. The present calculations demonstrate that in the case of 0.937 nm-rad brilliance of undulator is increased by a factor of about 5. For bending magnet, flux is reduced almost 1 order of magnitude for hard x-ray regime. Because of smaller size of the source for undulator at the case of 0.937 nm-rad, we can achieve to a smaller spot size and higher resolution with easier focusing systems and usual kind of monochromator than the emittance of 3.278 nm-rad and for the bending magnet hard x-ray beamline, size of the mirrors reduced 30% in the 0.937 nm-rad emittance case, so its result is shorter mirror, low cost and perhaps more challengeable heat load.

  The Spectromicroscopy beamline is one of the day one beamlines of the Iranian Light Source Facility project in the field of soft x-ray spectroscopy. This beamline is designed to cover the 90-2500eV energy range with about 8000 resolving power, and the minimum spot size of about 10×4 micrometer 2 at sample position. Brilliance, flux and photon size and divergence in the whole range of energy has been calculated for a 4.3m linear undulator using SPECTRA code. This undulator has 1015 ph/s(0.1% B.W.) photon flux at 96 eV energy & 400 mA electron current. A circular pinhole with maximum diameter size of 2.52mm has been inserted in a distance of 10m from the source to pass 95% radiated. Primary layout of this branch includes a collimating mirror, a varied included-angle plane grating monochromator, and a KB bendable elliptical cylinder mirror. The ray tracing calculation by using computational software SHADOW has been done to determine and optimize of the important optical parameters. Three plane gratings with different uniform line density (700, 900, 1200 lines/mm) have been used to cover the whole energy range with the resolving power of 0.75-0.8×104 depending on the photon energy.

The infrared undulator constructed at JINR and installed at FLASH in 2007 is used for longitudinal bunch shape measurements in the range of several tenths of μm. The presented below electromagnetic wiggler is applied for a narrow-band THz radiation for measurements of electron bunch longitudinal structure in FEL with electron energy of several tenths of MeV. This is a planar electromagnetic device with 6 regular periods, each of 30 cm long. The K parameter is varied in the range 0.5- 7.12 corresponding to a range B=0.025- 0.356 T of the peak field on axis. The wiggler is simulated for 19.8 MeV/c FEL. The bunch compression scheme allows the whole wavelength range to be covered by super-radiant emission with a sufficient form factor. The wavelength range corresponds to 126 μm - 5.3 mm for the electron beam momentum of 19.8 MeV/c. The 3D Opera simulations of THz wiggler will be discussed.

The transport and matching of electron beams generated by a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is a major challenge due to their large energy spread and divergence. Strong focussing magnets and a chromatic correction are required. This contribution discusses the layout of the beam transport optics for a diagnostic beamline at the LWFA in Jena, Germany. The aim of this optics is to match the betatron functions and the dispersion to the field of a transverse gradient undulator (TGU) such that monochromatic undulator radiation is generated despite the large energy spread.

    SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
 
  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.

  LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short, intense, coherent pulses in the 40-4 nm spectral range [1]. It comprises two types of accelerators connected to a single Free Electron Laser (FEL) for advanced seeding configurations (seeding with High order Harmonic in Gas, echo). A 400 MeV superconducting Linear Accelerator, adapted for studies of advanced FEL schemes, will enable future upgrade towards high repetition rate and multi-user operation by splitting part of the macropulse to different FEL lines. A 0.4 - 1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA) [2] will also be qualified by the FEL application. After the Conceptual Design Report, R&D has been launched on different sub components. Following transport theoretical studies of longitudinal and transverse manipulation of a LWFA electron beam enabling to provide theoretical amplification, a test experiment is under preparation.

  The infrared free-electron laser offers a large tunability since the FEL gain remains high throughout the infrared spectral range, and the reflectivity of metal mirrors remains also close to unity. The main limitation comes from the diffraction of the optical beam due to the finite size of the vacuum chamber of the undulator. A solution is to use this chamber as a waveguide by adaptating the radius of curvature of the cavity mirrors to this regime. Then, as has been shown before* a minimum appears in the spectrum that can be produced by the FEL. We discuss the physical mechanism of this particular regime and compare it to experiments using vacuum chambers of different tranverse sizes. A good agreement is found with results of simulations and with a simple analytical formula.

THPRO007 Beam-based Alignment in the European XFEL SASE1 radiation, quadrupole, simulation, FEL 2867
 
  • H. Jin, W. Decking, T. Limberg
    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) provides an ultra-short and high-brilliant photon pulses of spatially coherent X-rays with wavelengths down to 0.05 nm by using three undulator systems. Within these undulator systems, the orbit trajectory is required to be straight to a few micron over each gain length, so that the photon beam is capable of overlapping efficiently with the electron beam. However, this requirement is not obtainable with ordinary mechanical alignment methods. For this reason, a beam-based alignment (BBA) method using BPM readings of different beam energies is applied to the E-XFEL SASE1 undulators. In this report, we describe the BBA simulation for SASE1 including alignment errors of quadrupoles and BPMs. After correction, the desired range of the orbit trajectory is attained with high confidence. In addition, to identify the reliability of an aligned orbit trajectory acquired from the BBA simulation, we present here the SASE FEL radiation simulation, in which we observe a slight decrease of radiation energy and power.

THPRO008 Obtaining High Degree of Circular Polarization at X-ray FELs via a Reverse Undulator Taper FEL, radiation, bunching, polarization 2870
 
  • E. Schneidmiller, M.V. Yurkov
    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  Baseline design of a typical X-ray FEL undulator assumes a planar configuration which results in a linear polarization of the FEL radiation. However, many experiments at X-ray FEL user facilities would profit from using a circularly polarized radiation. As a cheap upgrade one can consider an installation of a short helical (or cross-planar) afterburner, but then one should have an efficient method to suppress powerful linearly polarized background from the main undulator. In this paper we propose a new method for such a suppression: an application of the reverse taper in the main undulator. We discover that in a certain range of the taper strength, the density modulation (bunching) at saturation is practically the same as in the case of non-tapered undulator while the power of linearly polarized radiation is suppressed by orders of magnitude. Then strongly modulated electron beam radiates at full power in the afterburner. Considering SASE3 undulator of the European XFEL as a practical example, we demonstrate that soft X-ray radiation pulses with peak power in excess of 100 GW and an ultimately high degree of circular polarization can be produced.

THPRO009 Harmonic Lasing in X-ray FELs FEL, electron, photon, operation 2873
 
  • E. Schneidmiller, M.V. Yurkov
    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  Contrary to nonlinear harmonic generation, harmonic lasing in a high-gain FEL can provide much more intense, stable, and narrow-band FEL beam which is easier to handle if the fundamental is suppressed. We perform a parametrization of the solution of eigenvalue equation for lasing at odd harmonics, and present explicit expression for FEL gain length, taking into account all essential effects. We propose and discuss methods for suppression of the fundamental. We also suggest a combined use of harmonic lasing and lasing at the retuned fundamental wavelength in order to reduce bandwidth and to increase brilliance of X-ray beam. We discover that in a part of the parameter space, corresponding to the operating range of soft X-ray beamlines of X-ray FEL facilities, harmonics can grow faster than the fundamental. We suggest that harmonic lasing can be widely used in the existing or planned X-ray FEL facilities. LCLS after a minor modification can lase at the 3rd harmonic up to the photon energy of 25-30 keV providing multi-gigawatt power level. At the European XFEL the harmonic lasing would allow to extend operating range up to 100 keV, to reduce bandwidth and increase brilliance.

THPRO010 Analysis of Operation of Harmonic Lasing Self-seeded FEL FEL, simulation, radiation, electron 2876
 
  • E. Schneidmiller, M.V. Yurkov
    DESY, Hamburg, Germany
 
  Harmonic lasing self-seeded FEL holds great potential for significant improvement of the the longitudinal coherence of the radiation. A gap-tunable undulator is divided into two parts by setting two different undulator parameters such that the first part is tuned to a sub-harmonic of the second part. Harmonic lasing occurs in the exponential gain regime in the first part of the undulator, also the fundamental stays well below saturation. In the second part of the undulator the fundamental mode is resonant to the wavelength, previously amplified as the harmonic. The amplification process proceeds in the fundamental mode up to saturation. In this case the bandwidth is defined by the harmonic lasing (i.e. it is reduced by a significant factor depending on harmonic number) but the saturation power is still as high as in the reference case of lasing at the fundamental in the whole undulator, i.e. the spectral brightness increases. Application of the undulator tapering in the deep nonlinear regime would allow to generate higher peak powers approaching TW level. The scheme is illustrated with the parameters of the European XFEL.

  We present the results of the studies of coherence properties of the radiation from FLASH for fundamental harmonic and higher odd harmonics. General overview of the parameter space is performed including peak current, emittance, and external focusing. The results of our studies show that present configuration of FLASH free electron laser is not optimal for providing ultimate quality of the output radiation. We find that the physical origin of the problem is mode degeneration. The way for improving quality of the radiation is proposed.

  A self-seeded XFEL system using a transmitted beam under Bragg diffraction has been developed at the first compact XFEL facility SACLA in order to generate a brilliant single-mode XFEL with high temporal coherence. High stability and unique beam characteristics of SACLA should significantly contribute to achieve reliable, high-quality seeded XFEL operation. In particular, the short-pulse property that has been achieved in routine operation enables us to switch SASE and seeded mode quickly, without changing the electron beam parameters. This is also useful for delivering different modes to multiple beamlines simultaneously. In the test experiments carried out in autumn 2013, spectral narrowing was observed at 10 keV using diamond 400 reflection. Systematic optimization on beam properties is now in progress towards experimental use of seeded XFELs in summer 2014. This talk gives the overview of the plan, achieved results and ongoing R&D.

The LCLS-II project is a high repetition rate, high average brightness free-electron laser based on the existing facilities at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The LCLS-II will be driven by a new CW superconducting RF (SCRF) 4-GeV linac replacing the existing Cu-linac in the 1st km of the linac tunnel. The SCRF linac will include chicanes for providing full compression of the electron bunch length. After the linac, the electron beam will be directed into the existing 2-km bypass line connecting to the Beam Switch Yard (BSY), where a new spreader system will allow a high rate bunch-by-bunch deflection into the hard X-ray (HXR) or soft X-ray (SXR) transport lines, or towards the BSY high power dump. The HXR line will include a new variable gap undulator replacing the existing LCLS-I undulator and will reuse the existing LCLS-I linac-to-undulator and dump transport lines. The SXR will require a new transport line sharing the same tunnel with the HXR and will include a new variable gap undulator. Overview of the electron beam transport and the optics design are presented.

The beam stability of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) has seen many improvements over the years and has matured to a state where progress is slow and maintaining the best stability is becoming the main challenge. Single sources which are identified by various means contribute to only about 10 to 20% of the whole jitter power, meaning that their elimination gives only a small improvement of 5 to 10%. New sources need to be identified fast. Especially slow variations of a few seconds to minutes time scale are often hidden and partially corrected by feedback systems. A few episodes of increased jitter have shown the limitations of some of the feedback systems. Stability for all dimensions, transverse, longitudinal, and intensity are presented.

High-gain FEL is one of many electron-beam instabilities, which have a number of common features linking the shot noise, the amplification and the saturation. In this paper we present a new, model-independent description of the interplay between these effects and derivation of a simple formula determining the saturation and maximum attainable gain in such instabilities. Application of this model-independent formula to FEL is compared with FEL theory and simulations. We describe limitations resulting from these finding for FEL amplifiers used for seeded FELs and for Coherent electron Cooling.

  A free electron laser (FEL) facility aimed for VUV and THz radiation is being studied at National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC) in Taiwan. Strong consideration has been given to minimize the cost by making maximum use of existing hardware at NSRRC. One unique consideration is to use an existing undulator for the dual functions of the THz radiator and the modulator of a HGHG section. Design emphasizes versatility of operation and beam quality control and compensation of nonlinearities, with a vision that it will allow as much as possible future upgrades as well as later R&D of FEL physics. The polarization control of the THz radiation provides novel application for the users. The facility is to be housed in the existing 38-m by 5-m tunnel of the TPS Linac Test Laboratory.
