Funding: US DOE under grant No. DE-AC02-76SF00515. It is known that the X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) performance strongly depends on the beam emittance and peak current. Lengthening injector laser pulse can improve the injector emittance but the injector peak current is notably compromised, in comparison to nominal laser pulse. With this longer laser pulse, a stronger bunch compression through downstream bunch compressors is thus required to keep same final peak current as the nominal laser pulse mode. This process may cause stronger micro-bunching effect. At the LCLS, we perform preliminary experiments with doubling injector laser pulse. In this paper, we present the experimental results of the injector emittance, microbunching effects and FEL performance with the longer drive laser pulse. |

THPAB078 | Beam Dynamics Studies of the Transverse Gradient Undulator and Its Application to Suppression of Microbunching Instability | 3895 |
|

A transverse gradient undulator (TGU) which was initially proposed for high gain free electron lasers (FELs) driven by electron beams with relatively large energy spread, can be extended to the application of beam dynamics, such as phase-merging enhanced harmonic generation FEL and suppression of microbunching instability. In this contribution we present beam dynamics studies of the TGU, analyze the resulting focusing and dispersion, and discuss the effects of an additional corrector on the TGU. As an application to beam dynamics, we show a feasible transport system based on the TGU as a reversible electron beam heater to suppress the microbunching instability of the electron beam. | ||
