	High efficiency, terawatt peak power X-ray Free Electron Lasers are a promising tool for enabling single molecule imaging and nonlinear science using X-rays. Increasing the efficiency of XFELs while achieving good longitudinal coherence can be achieved via self-seeding and undulator tapering. The efficiency of self-seeded XFELs is limited by two factors: the ratio of seed power to beam energy spread and the ratio of seed power to shot noise power. We present a method to overcome these limitations by producing a strong X-ray seed and amplifying it with a small energy spread beam. This is achieved by selectively suppressing lasing for part of the bunch in the SASE section. In this manner we can saturate with the seeding electrons and amplify the strong seed with 'fresh' electrons downstream of the monochromator. Simulations of this scenario are presented for two systems, an optimal superconducting undulator design and the LCLS. In the case of the LCLS we examine how betatron oscillations leading to selective suppression are induced by using the transverse wakefield of a parallel plate dechirper. We also discuss extending the selective suppression scheme to chirped electron bunches.

	We present results on the commissioning of the two-module RadiaBeam / SLAC dechirper system at LCLS. This is the first installation and measurement of a corrugated dechirper at high energy (4.4 - 13.3 GeV), short pulses (< 200 fs) and while observing its effect on an operational FEL. Both the transverse and longitudinal wakefields allow more flexible electron beam tailoring. We verify that, for a single module at a given gap, the strength of the longitudinal wake on axis and the dipole near the axis agree well with the theoretical values. Using direct longitudinal phase space mapping and X-ray FEL spectrum measurements we demonstrate the energy chirp control capabilities.

	Funding: This work was supported by Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. We discuss the possibility of using the RadiBeam/SLAC dechirper recently installed at LCLS for measuring the bunch length of very short bunches, less than 1 fs perhaps as short as 100 atto second. When a bunch travels close to one of the jaws the particles of the bunch get a transverse kick depends upon the position of a particle in a bunch. The tail particles get more kick. The transverse force also gets a nonlinear dependence on the transverse position. The stretched bunch can be measured at the YAG screen that is 100 m downstream the dechirper. The most important aspect of this measurement is that that no synchronization is needed. The Green's function for the transverse kick was evaluated based on the precise wake field calculations of the dechirper corrugated structure. Using this function we can restore the longitudinal shape of the bunch. This may also help to see if a bunch has any micro-bunch structure. A.

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.

High efficiency, terawatt peak power X-ray Free Electron Lasers are a promising tool for enabling single molecule imaging and nonlinear science using X-rays. Increasing the efficiency of XFELs while achieving good longitudinal coherence can be achieved via self-seeding and undulator tapering. The efficiency of self-seeded XFELs is limited by two factors: the ratio of seed power to beam energy spread and the ratio of seed power to shot noise power. We present a method to overcome these limitations by producing a strong X-ray seed and amplifying it with a small energy spread beam. This is achieved by selectively suppressing lasing for part of the bunch in the SASE section. In this manner we can saturate with the seeding electrons and amplify the strong seed with 'fresh' electrons downstream of the monochromator. Simulations of this scenario are presented for two systems, an optimal superconducting undulator design and the LCLS. In the case of the LCLS we examine how betatron oscillations leading to selective suppression are induced by using the transverse wakefield of a parallel plate dechirper. We also discuss extending the selective suppression scheme to chirped electron bunches.
