We propose to use existing LCLS copper S-band linac double bunch infrastructure to significantly improve LCLS-II hard X-ray performance. In our setup, we use the first bunch to generate a strong seeding X-ray signal, and the second bunch, initially traveling off-axis, to interact with the seed in the amplifier undulator and generate a near TW, 15 fs duration X-ray pulse in the 4 to 8 keV photon energy range. We investigate, via numerical simulations, the required transverse beam dynamics and the four crystals X-ray monochromator to be added to the existing LCLS-II beamline and discuss the final properties of the hard X-ray pulses and their potential application in high intensity, high-field physics experiments, including QED above the Schwinger critical field.

In this paper, we focus on characterization of the nonlinear third harmonic radiation properties at Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). In addition, we experimentally perform third harmonic self-seeding, using diamond crystal attenuator in the hard X-ray self-seeding chicane. We discuss warm beam effects in such scheme, justifying recently proposed two bunch configuration for harmonic lasing.

The RadiaBeam/SLAC dechirper was installed to demonstrate the concept of using wakefields from a corrugated structure to change the energy profile along an electron bunch. Since installation, the system has allowed a large number of additional XFEL operating modes including fresh-slice two-color or three color operation, fresh-slice seeding, passive streaking, etc. This talk will discuss the results from using the dechirper system and possible implementation issues related to the high-rate LCLS-II.
