	Funding: Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-76SF00515. We have successfully designed, fabricated, installed and tested a super-compact X-Band SLED system at SLAC. It is composed of an elegant mode converter/polarizer and a single sphere energy store cavity with high Q of 94000 and diameter less than 12 cm. The available RF peak power of 50 MW can be compressed to peak average power of more than 200 MW in order to double the kick for the electron bunches in a RF transverse deflector system and greatly improve the measurement resolution for both the electron bunch and the x-ray FEL pulse. High power operation has demonstrated the excellent performance of this RF compression system without any problems in RF breakdown, pulse heating and radiation. The design physics and fabrication as well as the measurement results will be presented in detail.

MOPOW022	Model-based Algorithm to Tune the LCLS Optics	763
	Z. Zhang TUB, Beijing, People's Republic of China Y. Ding, X. Huang SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	Transverse phase space matching of electron beam to the undulator optics is important for achieving good performance in free-electron lasers. Usually there are dedicated matching quadrupoles distributed in the beamline, by measuring the beam phase space the matching quadrupoles are calculated and adjusted to match to the designed Twiss parameters. Further adjustment of the quadrupoles to overcome collective effects or realistic beamline errors is typically required for performance improvement. In this paper, we studied a method to decompose the Twiss parameters for an independent control of the phase space. Mathematical analysis and numerical simulations are both presented to show that through combining the quadrupoles into some multi-knobs, we can control the Twiss parameters independently. We also show some experimental results at the LCLS.

	Funding: Work at ANL supported under US Department of Energy contract DE-AC02-76SF00515 and at SLAC by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, under Contract No. DE-ACO2-O6CH11357 An X-ray free electron laser can be built in an oscillator (XFELO) configuration by employing an X-ray cavity with Bragg mirrors such as diamond. An XFELO at the 5th harmonic frequency may be implemented at the LCLS II using its 4 GeV superconducting linac. The XFELO will provide stable, coherent, high-spectral-purity hard x-rays. In addition, portions of its output may be enhanced by the LCLS amplifier for stable pulses of ultrashort duration determined by the electron bunch length. Much progress has been made recently on the feasibility of an XFELO: Analytical and numerical methods have been developed to compute the performance of a harmonic XFELO. The energy spread requirement over a sufficient length of the bunch can be met by temporal shaping of the photo-cathode drive laser. Experiments at the APS have shown that Be-compound refractive lenses are suitable for a low-loss focusing and that the synthetic diamond crystals can withstand the intense x-ray exposure, in accord with estimates based on molecular dynamics considerations. A strain-free mounting of thin diamond crystal (< 100 microns) can be realized by shaping a thick diamond into a blind alley*. R. R. Lindberg et al., PRSTAB 1010701 (2011) W.

MOPOW045	Measurement of Advanced Dispersion-based Beam-tilt Correction	813
	M.W. Guetg, F.-J. Decker, Y. Ding, P. Emma, Z. Huang, T.J. Maxwell SLAC, Menlo Park, California, USA
	Funding: DOE contract \#DE-AC02-76SF00515 Free electron lasers in the X-ray regime require a good slice alignment along the electron bunch to achieve their best performance. A transverse beam slice shift reduces this alignment and spoils projected emittance and optics matching. Coherent synchrotron radiation, specifically for over-compression going through full compression, and transverse wakefields are major contributors to this. In the case of the large-bandwidth operation, with a strong energy chirp on the bunch, this misalignments furthermore reduce the spectral bandwidth of the FEL pulse. Well-defined manipulation of dispersion allows to compensate for this slice centroid shifts, therefore enhancing lasing power and in case of the large bandwidth mode, spectral bandwidth. This work shows the first application of this correction on an X-ray FEL resulting in increase in beam-power and bandwidth.

TUZA02	Twin-bunch Two-colour FEL at LCLS	1032

	Twin electron bunches have been the subject of much investigation at the Linac Coherent Light Source, due to their many applications to X-ray free-electron lasers (X-FEL). Twin bunches are trains of two electron bunches that are accelerated and compressed within the same accelerating RF period. At LCLS, these bunches are used in the downstream FEL undulator to generate two X-ray pulses of different energies for pump/probe applications or de novo phase determination of protein crystals. The spectral and temporal shaping of the two bunches requires exquisite control of the compression system to vary the main parameters of the system in a controlled way (peak current, temporal delay and energy separation). I will discuss recent experimental and theoretical results on this subject. In particular I will focus on the demonstration of mJ-level two-color X-ray pulses using twin bunches, as well as the temporal and spectral control of this new mode of operation. Finally, I will discuss our experience with user experiments as well as our future directions of investigation.

	The microbunching instability (MBI) is a well-known problem for high brightness electron beams and has been observed at accelerator facilities around the world. Free-electron lasers (FELs) are particularly susceptible to MBI, which can distort the longitudinal phase space and increase the beam's slice energy spread (SES). Past studies of MBI at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) relied on optical transition radiation to infer the existence of microbunching. With the development of the x-band transverse deflecting cavity (XTCAV), we can for the first time directly image the longitudinal phase space at the end of the accelerator and complete a comprehensive study of MBI, revealing both detailed MBI behavior as well as insights into mitigation schemes [1]. The fine time resolution of the XTCAV also provides the first LCLS measurements of the final SES, a critical parameter for many advanced FEL schemes. Detailed MBI and SES measurements can aid in understanding MBI mechanisms, benchmarking simulation codes, and designing future high-brightness accelerators.

	LCLS-II is a 4th-generation high-repetition rate Free Electron Laser (FEL) based x-ray light source to be built at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. To mitigate the microbunching instability, the transport lines from the exit of the Linac to the undulators will include a number of weak compensation chicanes with the purpose of cancelling the momentum compaction generated by the main bend magnets of the transport lines. In this paper, we will report on our design optimization study of these compensation chicanes in the presence of both longitudinal and transverse space-charge effects.

	The 4 GeV LCLS-II superconducting linac with high repetition beam rate enables the possibility to drive an X-Ray FEL oscillator at harmonic frequencies . Compared to the regular LCLS-II machine setup, the oscillator mode requires a much longer bunch length with a relatively lower current. Also a flat longitudinal phase space distribution is critical to maintain the FEL gain since the X-ray cavity has extremely narrow bandwidth. In this paper, we study the longitudinal phase space optimization including shaping the initial beam from the injector and optimizing the bunch compressor and dechirper parameters. We obtain a bunch with a flat energy chirp over 400 fs in the core part with current above 100 A. The optimization was based on LiTrack and Elegant simulations using LCLS-II beam parameters. T. J.
