MOPMB003 | Comparison of Coherent Smith-Purcell Radiation and Coherent Transition Radiation | radiation, electron, laser, simulation | 72 |

Funding: The authors are grateful for the funding received from the French ANR (contract ANR-12-JS05-0003-01) and the IDEATE International Associated Laboratory (LIA) between France and Ukraine. Smith-Purcell radiation and Transition Radiation are two radiative phenomenon that occur in charged particles accelerators. For both the emission can be significantly enhanced with sufficiently short pulses and both can be used to measure the form factor of the pulse. We compare the yield of these phenomenon in different configurations and look at their application as bunch length monitors, including background filtering and rejection. We apply these calculations to the specific case of the CLIO Free Electron laser. |

MOPOW006 | Planning and Controlling of the Cold Accelerator Sections Installation in XFEL | status, laser, electron, vacuum | 716 |
|
|||
The installation of the main linear accelerator in the 2 km European XFEL (X-Ray Free-Electron Laser) tunnel is currently under way. The accelerator consists of nine so-called cryo-strings. A typical cryo-string comprises 12 accelerator modules, which will be fed by three RF stations. Furthermore, the installation of electronic racks, cables, power and water supply etc. takes place. To enable a most effective installation of the accelerator components, planning and controlling methods, which had first been developed for the RF system work package, were adapted for the entire main linear accelerator. As a first step, a process plan was developed in cooperation with the work package leaders. On the basis of this plan, the installation process is promoted by several measures: The status of the installation is precisely registered by weekly queries which enable monitoring of the progress and feedback to everyone involved. With this information at hand, the installation process can be controlled and plan deviations can be corrected. Furthermore, the experience gained at one cryo-string is used to optimise the plan for the next cryo-string installation. | |||

MOPOW039 | An Oscillator Configuration for Full Realization of Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser | electron, laser, photon, optics | 801 |
|
|||
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.

TUZA02 | Twin-bunch Two-colour FEL at LCLS | electron, laser, undulator, photon | 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. | |||

WEPMR014 | RF Design of a High Average Beam-Power SRF Electron Source | electron, cavity, SRF, laser | 2289 |
|
|||
There is a significant interest in developing high-average power electron sources, particularly in the area of electron sources integrated with Superconducting Radio Frequency (SRF) systems. For these systems, the electron gun and cathode parts are critical components for stable intensity and high-average powers. In this initial design study, we will present the design of a 9-cell accelerator cavity having a frequency of 1.3 GHz and the corresponding field optimization studies. | |||

THPMB008 | Compensation of Steerer Crosstalk between FLASH1 and FLASH2 | betatron, electron, laser, FEL | 3237 |
|
|||
The free-electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) is a user facility delivering soft X-ray radiation. Starting from 2014, a second beam line for user operation, FLASH2, has been commissioned. It uses the same accelerating modules as the initial FLASH beam line (FLASH1) and the beam is deflected into a separate beam line downstream the linac. In the region, where the FLASH2 beam is extracted, both beam lines are close, the angle in between is 6.5 degrees. It has been observed, that steering dipoles in the extraction area, have an influence on both beam lines. Thus steering the orbit in one beam line, perturbs the orbit in the other beam line. This perturbation can significantly degrade the SASE energy in the other beam line. We have found a solution to this problem based the combination of local orbit bumps. The crosstalk from one steerer is corrected using additional steerers in the other beam line. This concept has already been tested at FLASH and has proven to work sufficiently well. | |||
