	Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy During the design, commissioning and operation of a linac-driven Free Electron Laser (FEL) it is important to have a good understanding of the implications of accelerator design choices on beam figures of merit. This simulation engine combines a full state-space model of the RF system (High-Power Amplifier, RF cavities, LLRF controllers, etc.), a characterization of beam properties such as energy, bunch length and arrival time as electrons propagate through the Linac and beam-based feedback. The combination of these models with the ability to introduce both correlated and uncorrelated noise sources at any point of the machine, allows for a complete transposition of noise sources to beam performance parameters, including frequency dependence, in order to analyze implications of accelerator design choices in a simulation environment.

The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is planning an upgrade (LCLS-II) to the Linear Coherent Light Source with a 4 GeV CW Superconducting Radio Frequency (SCRF) linac.

Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray Source (TTX) generates X-ray based on inverse thomson scattering method. The synchronization system for TTX includes reference distribution, normal conducting cavity Low Level RF control and Laser-RF synchronization. In collaboration with LBNL, we're working on a prototype synchronization system for TTX. Some test result based on Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray Source were obtained. In this paper we will show the synchronization system design and preliminary test result.
