WEODB103 | Current Status of PAL-XFEL Project | 2074 |
|
||
The PAL-XFEL is a 0.1-nm hard X-ray FEL construction project which started from 2011 with a total budget of 400 M$. The PAL-XFEL is designed to have three hard X-ray undulator lines at the end of 10-GeV linac and a dog-leg branch line at 3 GeV point for two soft X-ray undulator lines. The three-bunch compressor lattice (3-BC) is chosen to have large flexibility of operation, making it possible to operate soft X-ray FEL undulator line simultaneously and independently from hard X-ray FEL line. Self seeding to achieve the FEL radiation bandwidth of below 5x10-5 is baseline for the hard X-ray FEL line. Polarization control will be available by using the PU + EPU layout for the soft X-ray FEL line. The overview of the project with current status is presented. | ||

WEPWA043 | Construction of Injector Test Facility (ITF) for the PAL XFEL | 2220 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) in Korea. An injector test facility (ITF) for the PAL-XFEL has been successfully constructed and its commissioning is under way. The facility is to demonstrate beam performances required by the PAL XFEL (beam energy of 139 MeV, projected rms emittance of < 0.5 mm mrad @ 200 pC, and beam repetition rate of 60 Hz) with good enough stabilities. We have constructed a dedicated building for the facility in which a radiation-shielding tunnel (19.2-m long, 3.5-m wide, and 2.4-m high inner space), a klystron-modulator gallery, a laser room, and a control room are installed. The injector consists of an in-house-developed photo-cathode rf gun, a 30-mJ Ti:Sa laser system, two accelerating structures (as well as two sets of klystron-modulator systems), and various diagnostics as well as magnets & instrumentations. The installation of a transverse deflecting cavity (S-band, 10-fs resolution) and a laser heater is scheduled in 2013. In this article we report on the facility construction and some of the early commisisoning results. |

WEPFI045 | PAL-XFEL Accelerating Structures | 2806 |
|
||
We need 172 accelerating structures for the PAL-XFEL 10 GeV main linac. It takes long time for these structures to be delivered. So we are trying to find suppliers of the accelerating structures. First, we made an order of 40 accelerating structures to Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI), which have Quasi-type couplers to reduce the quadruple and sextuple components of the electric field in the coupling cavity. And Research Instruments (RI) has fabricated a 3m long race type accelerating structure for PAL-XFEL. Also, Vitzrotech which is a domestic company and IHEP in China are under developing accelerating structures for PAL-XFEL respectively. We will describe the current status of accelerating structures and high power test results of the newly developed structures in this paper. | ||
MOPME061 | Femtosecond e-bunch Length Measurement at fs-THz Accelerator at PAL | 613 |
|
||
Longitudinal distribution of femto-second electron beam has been evaluated by the coherent transition radiation Michelson interferometer with the reconstruction procedure from interferograms. We measure the bunch length of the Thz Accelerator using interferogram method in Pohang Accelerator Lab and compare with the energy of transition radiation and bunch length. | ||

THPME026 | First Results of the PAL-XFEL Prototype Undulator Measurements | 3561 |
|
||
Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) is developing 10 GeV, 0.1 nm SASE based FEL for high power, short pulse X-ray coherent photon sources named PAL-XFEL. At the first stage PAL-XFEL needs two undulator lines for photon source. PAL is developing undulator magnetic structure based on EU-XFEL design. The hard X-ray undulator features 7.2 mm min magnetic gap, and 5.0 m magnetic length with maximum effective magnetic field larger than 0.908 T to achieve 0.1nm radiation at 10 GeV electron energy. A prototype for PAL-XFEL Xray undulator line is completed and the measurement, correction results are summarized. | ||
