Generation of GeV Photon Energy at European X-Ray Free Electron Laser | |
|
||
Intense high-energy photon beams (>1 GeV) with multiple outstanding characteristics, such as energy tunability, good directivity, quasi-monochromaticity, etc., offer numerous novel applications in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, and non-destructive material analysis. Potential applications of the high photon energy include protein crystallography, along with searches for Dark Photons and Axion-like Particles. European X-ray free electron laser based on superconductor linear accelerator is able to generate short high current electron bunches at megahertz intra-train repetition rate in the range of 17.5 GeV energy. We employ its capabilities and show the potential of this facility in the generation of GeV photon energy. We employ laser Compton scattering at the spreader of the south branch FEL line and simulate the generation of GeV photon energy | ||

Opportunities and Challenges of the Hard X-ray Self-seeding System at the European XFEL | |
|
||
The Hard X-ray Self-seeding system (HXRSS) at the European XFEL provides users with longitudinally coherent X-ray FEL pulses with narrow bandwidth and high spectral density. With this setup we have achieved a maximum spectral density of about 1 mJ/eV at 9 keV. Combined with the MHz repetition rate, it opens up exciting new opportunities in a wide range of scientific fields. However, the increasing user demand and expectations also poses challenges in machine tuning and operation parameter ranges. We will summarize the HXRSS performance we have achieved and the user delivery experiences in the last two years. | ||
