  The FERMI FEL requires a major upgrade of the existing linac, which needs to be transformed from being the injector for the ELETTRA light source, to becoming the source for the FERMI FEL. In this work, we present the baseline design, including the integration of the 7 additional systems from the LIL linac, and one X-band station as linearizers. We will present the new layout with the required modifications and additions to the existing infrastructure to meet the more demanding needs of the system. Such modifications include a new RF controller, improvements in the modulator stability and an upgrade to the average power capabilities of the system to operate at 50 Hz. Test results from the characterization of the existing systems will be included, as well as plans for future development.

  We present a summary of the conceptual design for the FERMI FEL project funded for construction at the Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy. The project will be the first user facility based on seeded harmonic cascade FEL's, providing controlled, high peak-power pulses, and complementing the storage ring light source at Sincrotrone Trieste. The facility is to be driven by electron beam from a high-brightness rf photocathode gun, and using the existing 1.2 GeV S-band linac. Designed for an initial complement of two FEL's, providing tunable output over a range from ~100 nm to ~10 nm, FERMI will allow control of pulse duration from less than 100 fs to approximately1 ps, and with polarization control from APPLE undulator radiators. Seeded by tunable UV lasers, FEL-1 is a single-stage of harmonic generation to operate over ~100 nm to ~40 nm, and FEL-2 a two-stage cascade operating from ~40 nm to ~10 nm or shorter wavelength. Photon output is spatially and temporally coherent, with peak power in the 100’s MW to GW range. We have designed FEL-2 to minimize the output radiation spectral bandwidth. Major systems and overal facility layout are described, and key performance parameters summarized.

  Luminosity measurements at the high luminosity points of the LHC are very challenging due to the extremely high radiation levels in excess of 1 GGy/yr. We have designed an ionization chamber that uses a flowing gas mixture and a combination of metals and ceramics. With such a choice, an additonal challenge is achieving the necessary speed to be able to resolve bunch-by-bunch luminosity data. We present the design, analysis and experimental results of the early demonstration tests of this device.

  Many beam diagnostic devices in today's synchrotron rings make use of the radiation emitted by the circulating particles. Such instruments are placed in close proximity of the accelerator, where in many instances they cannot be easily accessed for safety consideration, or at the end of a beamline, which because of its cost, can only move the light port a few meters away from the ring. We present a study on the coupling of synchrotron light into an optical fiber for all those application where the longitudinal properties of the beam are measured (i.e., bunch length, phase, intensity, etc.). By choosing an appropriate fiber it is possible to keep attenuation and dispersion at negligible values over a large bandwidth, so that this method would allow to have the diagnostic instruments directly in the control room, or wherever convenient, up to several hundred of meters away from the tunnel. This would make maintaining and replacing instruments, or switching between them, possible without any access to restricted areas. Additionally, the few components required to be near the ring (lenses and couplers) in order to couple the light into the fiber are intrinsically radiation-hard.
