| MOPWA012 | Study of Optimal MBA Lattice Structures for the SOLEIL Upgrade | 106 |
|
||
| Within the context of a future upgrade of the SOLEIL ring, a series of lattice studies has been made with the aim of reducing the current 4 nm-rad horizontal emittance ex by more than an order of magnitude, with a dynamic aperture allowing off-axis injection. As in most upgrades, the important constraint imposed is to keep all the existing straight sections and photon source points. A particularity of SOLEIL are the short straight sections in half of the 16 double-bend cells, created in between the dipoles, which limits the number of dipoles in a MBA cell. In the previous studies, a combination of 5- and 4BA was followed, where with the use of longitudinal gradient bends (LGBs), ex ~440 pm-rad was obtained. The present paper reports on studies extended along the same strategy: In particular, the feasibility and the attainable ex are pursued with a combination of 7- and 6BA, by employing dipoles with transverse gradient and LGBs. In addition, the effectiveness of a few known nonlinear optimization methods, such as the resonance driving term cancellation, interleaved sextupoles with proper phases, and genetic algorithm-based numerical searches shall be explored. | ||

| MOPWA015 | Lattice Correction using LOCO for the ThomX Storage Ring | 117 |
|

Funding: Work is supported by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche as part of the program EQUIPEX under reference ANR-10-EQPX-51, the Ile de France region, CNRS-IN2P3 and Université Paris Sud XI ThomX is a compact Compton based X-ray source under construction at LAL in Orsay (France). The ThomX accelerator facility is composed by a 50-70 MeV linac driven by 3 GHz RF gun, a transfer line and a 18 meters long Storage Ring (SR). The Compton backscattering at each revolution between the 1 nC electron bunch and the 25 mJ laser pulses stacked in the Fabry-Perot cavity results in the production of ~1013 photons per second with energies in the X-ray regime. This high flux of the X-rays strongly depends on the quality (beam sizes) of the electron beam at the interaction point. To guarantee this, a good knowledge and quality of the linear lattice of the ThomX SR are required. Nowadays, LOCO (Linear Optics from Closed Orbits) is a well-known and widely used algorithm to measure and restore the linear optics of the SRs and ensure the designed performances. Comparing the measured and model orbit response matrices, the linear lattice can be restored by retuning the quadrupole gradients. In this paper, we report on the LOCO analysis of the ThomX SR taking into account simulated misalignment, calibration and field errors. |

| MOPWA016 | Increasing the Dynamic and Momentum Apertures of the ThomX Ring by Means of Octupole Correctors | 121 |
|
||
|
Funding: Work is supported by ANR-10- EQPX-51 and ANR-11-IDEX-0003-02, and also by grants from Region Ile-de-France. The electron ring of the compact Compton-backscattering X-ray source ThomX which is being built at LAL featured with a small circumference of 18 meters and a low beam energy 50-70 MeV, and its long term single particle dynamics is dominated by the non linear effects in the transverse and longitudinal planes. In this paper, we study the feasibilities to reduce the sextupole resonances and then increase the dynamic aperture and momentum aperture of the ThomX ring, using octupoles correctors. |

| TUPWA011 | Progress on the LUNEX5 project | 1416 |
|
||
| 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 Free Electron Laser (FEL) pulses in the 40-4 nm spectral range. It comprises a 400 MeV superconducting Linear Accelerator for high repetition rate operation (10 kHz), multi-FEL lines and adapted for studies of advanced FEL schemes, a 0.4 - 1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA) for its qualification by a FEL application, a single undulator line enabling advanced seeding and pilot user applications. Different studies such as on two color FEL and R&D programs have been launched. A test experiment for the demonstration of 180 MeV LWFA based FEL amplification at 200 nm is under preparation in collaboration with the Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée, thanks to a proper electron beam manipulation. Specific hardware is also under development such as a cryo-ready 3 m long undulator of 15 mm period. | ||

| TUPWA012 | SOLEIL Status Report | 1419 |
|
||
| The 2.75 GeV synchrotron light source SOLEIL (France) delivers photons to 27 beamlines and 2 new ones are under construction. The commissioning of the Femtoslicing operation mode involving two beamlines is in progress. The uniform filling pattern is now available to users with a 500 mA stored beam current. The operation of the two canted and long beamlines ANATOMIX and Nanoscopium both using in-vacuum insertion devices (IDs) as a photon source has been raising challenges still under investigation. Upgrades of crucial subsystem equipment like magnet power supplies, storage ring RF input power couplers, and solid state amplifiers are continuing. New user requests for beam stability are under upgrade consideration. Other projects for the storage ring are ongoing such as the design and construction of new insertion devices, new multipole injection kicker, localised small and round photon beam production, as well as R&D on 500 MHz solid-state amplifiers. In parallel first studies for a future upgrade of the machine have been progressing. | ||

| WEPWA001 | Electron Beam Transfer Line for Demonstration of Laser Plasma Based Free Electron Laser Amplification | 2489 |
|
||
| One direction towards compact Free Electron Lasers is to replace the conventional linac by a laser plasma driven beam, provided proper electron beam manipulation to handle the value of the energy spread and of the divergence is done. Applying seeding techniques enables also to reduce the required undulator length. The rapidly developing LWFA are already able to generate synchrotron radiation. With an electron divergence of typically 1 mrad and an energy spread of the order of 1 %, an adequate beam manipulation through the transport to the undulator is needed for FEL amplification. A test experiment for the demonstration of FEL amplification with a LWFA is under preparation in the frame of the COXINEL ERC contract. A specific design of electron beam transfer line following different steps with strong focusing variable strength permanent magnet quadrupoles, an energy de-mixing chicane with conventional dipoles and second set of quadrupoles for further dedicated focusing in the undulator has been investigated. Beam transfer simulations and expected FEL power in the XUV will be presented. | ||
