WEP101	Linear Polarisation via a Delta Afterburner for the CompactLight Facility	549
	H.M. Castañeda Cortés, D.J. Dunning, N. Thompson STFC/DL/ASTeC, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom
	Funding: CompactLight is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No.777431. We studied the degree of polarisation of the FEL radiation from the diverted-beam scheme [1,2] using the layout of the CompactLight facility, which is in the process of being designed. To satisfy the polarisation requirements defined by the users [3] without compromising the aim of the facility to be compact, we studied a configuration comprising a helical Super Conductive Undulator (SCU) followed by a Delta afterburner (configured to generate linearly polarised light). The trade-offs between the SCU length, afterburner length, degree of polarisation and output power are presented and discussed. [1] E. A. Schneidmiller and M. V. Yurkov, Phys. Rev. ST Accel.

THP065	Multi-Objective FEL Design Optimisation Using Genetic Algorithms	711
	D.J. Dunning, H.M. Castañeda Cortés, J.K. Jones, N. Thompson STFC/DL/ASTeC, Daresbury, Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom J.K. Jones, N. Thompson Cockcroft Institute, Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom
	Simulation studies were carried out to optimise the performance of various FEL designs, with examples including longitudinal current profile shaping for a seeded FEL, and selection of the chicane delays for the High-Brightness SASE technique. In these examples multi-objective genetic algorithms were applied to a single section of the overall facility simulation, i.e. the undulator, as is the common approach. Further studies are also reported in which a full start-to-end simulation chain was optimised, with the aim of delivering a more holistic facility design optimisation.

THP066	XARA: X-Band Accelerator for Research and Applications	715

	XARA (X-band Accelerator for Research and Applications) is a proposal for a compact ~1 GeV/c accelerator to produce attosecond light pulses in the EUV to soft X-ray region. It is under consideration as a potential future upgrade to the CLARA facility at Daresbury Laboratory, utilising high-performance X-band RF technology to increase the electron beam momentum from 250 MeV/c. Emerging techniques for generating single-cycle undulator light [1] would give access to attosecond timescales, enabling studies of ultra-fast dynamics, while also being very compact. XARA would also enhance the existing capabilities for accelerator science R&D by incorporating X-band development and increasing the electron beam momentum for novel acceleration studies.
