MOPCH015	Impact of Undulator Wakefileds and Tapering on European X-ray FEL Performance	83

	The European X-ray Free-Electron Laser (XFEL) based on self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) requires an electron beam with a few kA peak current and a small-gap undulator system up to 250 m in length. The interaction between the high-current electron bunch and the undulator vacuum chamber affects the FEL performance. In this paper we estimate the induced wakefields in elliptical pipe geometry, taking into account the main geometrical variations of the chamber. To study the expected performance in the presence of the calculated wakefields, we are doing start-to-end simulations with the tracking codes ASTRA, CSRtrack and GENESIS. To compensate the wakefield impact on the FEL performance, an adiabatic change of undulator parameters is considered.
WEYFI01	Modelling of Space Charge and CSR Effects in Bunch Compressor Systems	1897
	M. Dohlus DESY, Hamburg
	Bunches with high peak currents of the order of kilo-Amperes are required in linac based X-ray free electron lasers. These bunches cannot be produced directly in guns because space charge forces would destroy the brilliance within a short distance. Therefore bunches with a peak current of a few tens of Amperes are created in laser-driven radio-frequency sources and are compressed in length by two orders of magnitude. In most designs, the compression is achieved in magnet chicanes, where particles with different energies have different path lengths so that a bunch with an energy distribution correlated with longitudinal particle position can shrink in length. The principle problem is that short bunches on curved trajectories will emit coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). The CSR effects and the space charge fields play an important role in the particle dynamic and the design of a bunch compression system. This presentation will provide an overview of computational methods and simulation tools for space charge and coherent synchrotron radiation effects in magnetic bunch compression systems.

	A longitudinal broadband damper system to control coupled bunch instabilities has recently been constructed and installed in the 920 GeV proton accelereator HERA-p at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY. The goal of this system is to reduce the bunch length and thus increase specific luminosity at HERA-p. Within the control system a kicker cavity is used as an actuator. The original aspect of this cavity lies in the simple geometry with no need for vacuum inside the cavity and high shunt impedance despite an internal ferrite load. The ferrite load is succesfully used to dampen higher order modes down to Q < 50 while the fundamental mode is damped by less than 2 dB. While nominal input power is rated at 60 dBm the cavity is prepared to handle beam loading. In spite of power requirements and ferrite load the cavity needs no active cooling. It can be tuned in center frequency and bandwidth over a range of 96..105 MHz and 4..7 MHz respectively and in consequence provides an optimal actuator for the particle beam control system. Presented will be the design details, all relevant parameters, the design of the internal ferrite load and operational experience.
