TU1C1 | An Efficient Optimisation of a Burst Mode-Operated Fabry-Perot Cavity for Compton Light Sources | laser, cavity, electron, photon | 46 |
|
|||
The burst mode operation of a Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) allows for the generation of a high-intensity photon beam in inverse Compton scattering (ICS) sources. The geometry and burst mode parameters of the FPC can be optimised to maximise the scattered photon flux. A novel optimisation method is presented, significantly improving processing speed and accuracy. The FPC’s dimensions, mirror requirements, and effective energy can be obtained from the electron beam parameters at the interaction point. A multi-objective optimization algorithm was used to derive the geometrical parameters of the FPC; this brought orders of magnitude increase in computation speed if compared to the nominal Monte Carlo-based approaches. The burst mode parameters of the FPC were obtained by maximizing the effective energy of the laser pulse in the FPC. The impact of optical losses and thermal lensing on the FPC parameters is addressed. Preliminary parameters of an ICS source implementing this novel optimisation are presented. The source could reach high-performance photon beams for high-energy applications. | |||

TU1B3 | Nonlinear Optics From Hybrid Dispersive Orbits | sextupole, quadrupole, lattice, storage-ring | 62 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by US DoE under Contract No. DE-SC0012704 In this paper we present an expansion of the technique of characterizing nonlinear optics from off-energy orbits (NOECO) to cover harmonic sextupoles in storage rings. The existing NOECO technique has been successfully used to correct the chromatic sextupole errors on the MAX-IV machine, however, it did not account for harmonic sextupoles, which are widely used on many other machines. Through generating vertical dispersion with chromatic skew quadrupoles, a measurable dependence of nonlinear optics on harmonic sextupoles can be observed from hybrid horizontal and vertical dispersive orbits. Proof of concept of our expanded technique was accomplished by simulations and beam measurements on the National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) storage ring. |

TU4P16 | Transverse Optics-based Control of the Microbunching Instability | FEL, bunching, laser, electron | 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. | |||

WE1L4 | Operating Liquid MetalJet X-ray Sources for Materials Research | synchrotron, experiment, detector, photon | 159 |
|
|||
Even on the 100th anniversary of the death of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, the demand for applications of his discovery of X-rays is not diminishing. On the contrary, both academic and industrial research and development need X-ray generating devices with ever-improving properties more than ever to meet the current challenges of science and technology. For this reason, the development of next-generation synchrotrons is being driven forward and made available to users worldwide. Nevertheless, the availability of synchrotron beamtime will always remain limited, even with the most brilliant sources for ultra-fast and high-throughput experiments. That is why the operation of and research with decentralized laboratory equipment becomes just as important. This presentation will therefore focus on the latest developments in laboratory sources in the hard X-ray regime for materials research. In this context, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) has commissioned EXCILLUM’s new high-flux MetalJet X-ray devices providing photon energies up to 70 keV and 160 keV, respectively. The presentation will give a summary of the technical specifications of these sources utilizing a liquid metal as anode material and the diffractometer lab installations operated with them at HZB. Selected experimental examples are shown providing an overview of applications performed at the MetalJet measuring stations - ranging from residual stress analysis on technical parts to real-time measurements on thin films for photovoltaics applying angle- and energy-dispersive diffraction as well as studies in the field of time-resolved imaging. A comparison to synchrotron measurements is made to benchmark the performance of the available setups. In conclusion, the effort and expenses required to operate such X-ray devices for in-house research and user service measurements are summarized. | |||
