  SOLEIL is a third generation synchrotron radiation source, under construction in France near Paris. The storage ring consists of a 357 m circumference ring, with 16 cells and 24 straight sections, out of which up to 21 will house insertion devices (ID). The optics features a low 3.7 nm.rad emittance at the 2.75 GeV operating energy, so as to provide high brilliance, from the VUV up to the hard x-ray domain. To reach a long lifetime, and beam position stabilities in the micron range, significant attention was paid at each design stage (optics, magnets, beam position monitors, vacuum and RF systems…), including on the design of the building, the construction of which is now complete. This resulted in some unprecedented approaches such as the intensive use of NEG coating vessels, or the development of a dedicated SC RF cavity and of 200 kW solid state RF amplifiers. The injector system (100 MeV Linac) and the 3 Hz full energy booster synchrotron have reached nominal operating conditions by fall 2005, while the ring commissioning should start by April 2006. Innovative ID's were designed and built so as to provide the best possible performances in a wide energy range (5 eV to 50 keV).

THXPA03 Laser Systems and Accelerators 2728
 
  • H. Schlarb
    DESY, Hamburg
 
  The presentation will cover the use of laser systems in accelerators. Topics covered will be the use of lasers for the production of electron beam from photocathodes, timing and diagnostics, laser heater systems to control space charge effects, as seed systems. Challenges in terms of stability, pulse shaping, power and pulse lengths, wavelength range and tuning will be covered for the various aspects.
