  In SPring-8, the 8 GeV compact XFEL “SACLA” is under commissioning. A single bunch of electrons is compressed down to about 30 fs for brilliant SASE X-ray lasing. It is an important key of stable lasing to investigate the longitudinal phase space and the sliced emittance of a lasing part of the bunch by using a transverse RF deflector. We developed a high gradient C-band deflecting structure operated at 5712 MHz for the bunch diagnosis with a resolution of femtosecond regime at a limited space in the SACLA. The backward travelling-wave of the HEM11-5pi/6 mode is excited in the cylindrical structure periodically loaded with racetrack-shaped irises. The featuring irises suppress rotation of the deflection plane and generate strong cell-to-cell coupling for stable resonance. Two 1.8m-long structures were fabricated and installed in the SACLA. They successfully generated a deflection voltage over 40 MV and pitched the bunch at the zero-crossing RF phase. In this paper, we present the details of the fabrication and the deflecting performance of the structures applied to the diagnosis.

  RIKEN and JASRI already completed the construction of XFEL/SPring8. Recently the facility was named “SACLA” (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact Free Electron LAser). The commissioning team succeeded in acceleration of 8 GeV electron beam and observation of the undulator light of 0.8 angstrom wavelength in March 2011. Now the accelerator is stably operated for the XFEL commissioning. In this project, a C-band (5712 MHz) choke mode accelerating structures and C-band RF pulse compressors are employed to obtain a high acceleration gradient of more than 35 MeV/m. We completed the fabrication of 128 accelerating structures, 64 RF pulse compressors, and 64 units of waveguide components and conducted RF measurements on them until May 2010. We report the result of the mass-production of these 64 C-Band units.
