TUA04 | Harmonic Lasing Experiment at the European XFEL | 29 |
|
||
Harmonic lasing is an opportunity to extend the photon energy range of existing and planned X-ray FEL user facilities. Contrary to nonlinear harmonic generation, harmonic lasing can provide a much more intense, stable, and narrow-band FEL beam. Another interesting application is Harmonic Lasing Self-Seeding (HLSS) that allows to improve the longitudinal coherence and spectral power of a Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) FEL. This concept was successfully tested at FLASH in the range of 4.5 - 15 nm and at PAL XFEL at 1 nm. In this contribution we present recent results from the European XFEL where we successfully demonstrated operation of HLSS FEL at 5.9 Angstrom and 2.8 Angstrom, in the latter case obtaining both 3rd and 5th harmonic lasing. | ||

TUP004 | A Superradiant THz Undulator Source for XFELs | 48 |
|
||
The European XFEL has successfully achieved first lasing in 2017 and meanwhile three SASE FEL beamlines are in operation. An increasing number of users has great interest in a specific type of two-color pump-probe experiments in which high-field THz pulses are employed to drive nonlinear processes and dynamics in matter selectively. Here, we propose to use a 10-period superconducting THz undulator to provide intense, narrowband light pulses tunable in wide range between 3 and 100 THz. The exploitation of superconducting technology allows us to meet the challenge of generating such low photon energy radiation despite the very high electron beam energy at the European XFEL. In this presentation, we will present the latest development concerning THz undulator design and present the expected THz pulse properties for the case of the European XFEL. | ||

TUP061 | Super-X: Simulations for Extremely Hard X-Ray Generation With Short Period Superconducting Undulators for the European XFEL | 191 |
|
||
The European XFEL is a high-repetition multi-user facility with nominal photon energy range covering almost 3 orders of magnitude: 250 eV - 25 keV. In this work we explore the possibility to extend the photon energy range of the facility up to 100 keV via combination of superconducting undulator technology, period doubling and harmonic lasing, thus allowing for excellent tunability. To this purpose, we propose a dedicated FEL line, discuss its overall concept and provide analytical and numerical estimations of its expected performance. | ||

TUP062 | Two Colors at the SASE3 Line of the European XFEL: Project Scope and First Measurements | 195 |
|
||
The European XFEL is a high-repetition rate facility that generates high-power SASE radiation pulses in three beamlines. A joint upgrade project, with Finnish universities, to equip the SASE3 beamline with a chicane has been recently approved to generate two SASE pulses with different photon energies and temporal separation. In this work we report the status of the project, its expected performance, and recent experimental results. Additionally, we discuss methods to diagnose the properties of the generated radiation. | ||

TUP079 | Status of the Hard X-Ray Self-Seeding Setup at the European XFEL | 242 |
|
||
A Hard X-Ray Self-Seeding (HXRSS) setup will be soon commissioned at the European XFEL. It relies on a two-chicanes scheme to deal, in particular, with the high pulse repetition rate of the facility. In this contribution we review the physics choices made at the design stage and the expected performance of the setup. We will also focus on the description of the hardware installations made at the SASE2 line of the European XFEL. | ||

Undulator Adjustment with the K-Monochromator System at the European XFEL | |
|
||
The SASE1 and SASE2 undulator systems of the European XFEL consist of 35 segments with variable-gap planar undulators which are initially tuned to precise on-axis magnetic field strengths in a magnetic measurement lab. After tunnel installation only photon based methods can determine the K-values of undulator segments with a similar accuracy. The spontaneous radiation of single or few undulator cells is spectrally filtered with the K-monochromator (K-mono) and recorded with a sensitive spontaneous radiation imager (SR-imager). By processing the images from the SR-imager and geometrical fitting of the spatial distribution of the spontaneous radiation we obtain very fast the K-parameter and the beam pointing of single segments. This information is used for adjustments of the gap settings and vertical offset positions of the single undulator segments. In this presentation we describe the K-mono system at the European XFEL, the measurement principle, and the measurements that were performed [1].
