  An experimental setup for the generation of monochromatic undulator radiation at the laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) in Jena using a transverse gradient undulator (TGU) is planned. Proper matching of the betatron functions and the dispersion of the electron beam to the undulator is essential. Therefor a beam transport system with strong focusing magnets and chromatic correction of these magnets is required. As a first step, a linear beam transport system without chromatic correction was assembled at the LWFA. With this setup the electron beam’s dispersion and the beta function of one selected energy are matched to the required parameters at the TGU. This contribution presents the experimental results of these measurements.

  Transverse gradient undulators (TGU) have recently been discussed as sources for High Gain Free Electron Lasers (FEL) driven by electron beams with an elevated energy spread as for example generated in storage rings or wakefield accelerators. In this contribution we present the results of a parameter study based on the one-dimensional TGU-FEL theory making realistic assumptions on the key parameters achievable for the transverse gradient undulator. We show for which parameter areas LWFA-driven TGU-FELs are virtually technically feasible today and which technical improvements would be required to employ the concept for a laboratory-scale X-Ray FEL.

  A new compact versatile linear accelerator named FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac Und Test Experiment) is currently under construction at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). It will serve as an accelerator test facility and allow conducting a variety of accelerator physics studies. In addition, it will be used to generate intense, ultra-short THz pulses for photon science experiments. FLUTE consists of a ~7 MeV photo-injector gun, a ~41 MeV S-band linac and a D-shaped chicane to compress bunches to a few femtoseconds. This contribution presents an overview of the project status and the accompanying simulation studies.

For the transport and matching of electrons generated by a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA) a beam transport system with strong focusing magnets and a compact design is required. For the realization of such a beam transport system at the LWFA in Jena, Germany, two small series of inexpensive, modular quadrupoles were designed and built. The quadrupoles are iron-dominated electromagnets in order to keep the transport system adaptable to different energies and target parameters. To achieve the required field strength it was necessary to choose a small magnetic aperture. Therefore the magnets were designed for in-vacuum use with water-cooled coils. In this contribution the design, the realization and first field measurements of these quadrupoles are presented.

  At KIT we are currently constructing the compact linear accelerator FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac Und Test Experiment). This 41 MeV machine is aimed at accelerator physics and synchrotron radiation research, using ultra-short electron bunches. The electrons are generated at a photo-cathode using picosecond long UV laser pulses. A magnetic chicane is used to compress the bunches longitudinally to a few femtoseconds. This contribution describes both the magnet design, in particular the optimization of the chicane dipoles based on finite element method (FEM) simulations, as well as the implementation of a magnet measurement system.
