Funding: Work supported by the Director, Office of Science, of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231 We present an overview of design studies and R&D toward NGLS a Next Generation Light Source initiative at LBNL. The design concept is based on a multi-beamline soft x-ray FEL array powered by a CW superconducting linear accelerator, and operating with a high bunch repetition rate of approximately 1 MHz. The linac design uses TESLA and ILC technology, supplied by an injector based on a CW normal-conducting VHF photocathode electron gun. Electron bunches from the linac are distributed by RF deflecting cavities to the array of independently configurable FEL beamlines with nominal bunch rates of ~100 kHz in each FEL, with uniform pulse spacing, and some FELs capable of operating at the full linac bunch rate. Individual FELs may be configured for different modes of operation, including self-seeded and external-laser-seeded, and each may produce high peak and average brightness x-rays with a flexible pulse format. |

WEODB1 | New Method for Point-Charge Wakefield Calculation | 778 |
|
||
Extending our approach recently described in * we present a new method to accurately calculate point-charge geometric wakefields from wake potentials due to a much longer bunch, typically obtained with a time-domain EM field solver. By allowing a long bunch in the EM solver, this method can significantly reduce the need for computer resources as well as drastically shorten the computing time. On top of that, the method provides profound physics insights. We give examples of longitudinal and transverse wakefield calculations for 2D and 3D accelerator structures which illustrate the effectiveness of the new method.
