FERMI FEL Upgrade Plans, an Overview | |
|
||
Short and long term upgrade plans of the FERMI free-electron laser facility at Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste, Italy, will be reported. They include the ongoing linear accelerator energy upgrade and the conversion of the first undulator line to echo-enabled harmonic generation. The upgrade of the second undulator line to a two stage echo-based fresh-bunch scheme is also under study. | ||

TU4P16 | Transverse Optics-based Control of the Microbunching Instability | 107 |
|
||
A number of recent experimental and theoretical studies have investigated novel techniques for suppressing the microbunching instability in high-brightness linac-based light sources. This instability has long been studied as one of the causes of reduced longitudinal coherence in these machines, which are commonly suppressed using a laser heater. This contribution presents recent developments concerning the use of an optics-based scheme to mitigate the microbunching instability in the FERMI free-electron laser, paving the way towards reversible beam heating techniques that could improve the performance of future machines. | ||

Scaling of Beam Collective Effects with Bunch Charge in the CompactLight Free-electron Laser | |
|
||
The CompactLight European consortium is designing a state-of-the-art X-ray free-electron laser driven by radiofrequency X-band technology. Rooted in experimental data on photo-injector performance in the recent literature, this study estimates analytically and numerically the performance of the CompactLight delivery system for bunch charges in the range 75-300 pC. Space-charge forces in the injector, linac transverse wakefield, and coherent synchrotron radiation in bunch compressors are all taken into account. The study confirms efficient lasing in the soft X-rays regime with pulse energies up to hundreds of microjoules at repetition rates as high as 1 kHz. | ||
