  In the past years wakefield sources have been used to manipulate electron beams in accelerators. We recently installed corrugated structures for a total length of 2~m at the SwissFEL injector to test novel schemes for beam manipulations. We present simulations and early experimental results. We compare the model predictions with the measured data for the bunch energy losses and the kick factor, and show early results for the longitudinal phase space linearization and the production of current spikes.

  Most X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FELs) emit linearly polarized X-ray pulses. Recently, a device called the Delta undulator has been installed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) to provide tuneable polarization. The electron beam is first microbunched by the LCLS normal undulators, then the microbunched beam is kicked prior to the Delta undulator, and an intense circularly polarized X-ray pulse is generated in the Delta undulator towards the kicked direction and is spatially separation from the linearly polarized radiation from upstream undulators. Coherent off-axis radiation is usually strongly suppressed because the microbunches themselves cannot rotate. The talk will show that microbunches can in fact rotate towards the new direction of travel if the kick is applied in a quadrupole focusing channel and also will clarify characteristics of the coherent undulator radiation from a tilted microbunch in the far-field and will compare simulations with experiments. This microbunch rotation can explain the unexpectedly large amount of off-axis radiation that was observed during Delta undulator experiments at LCLS and may have other applications to the advanced X-ray manipulations.

  The X-Ray FEL at SLAC or LCLS delivers typically one bunch at the time. Different schemes of two bunches have been developed: Two bucket, Twin bunch, split undulator, and fresh slice. Here we discuss a four bunch or even eight bunch setup, separated by 2 RF buckets or 0.7 ns. . The demand comes from MEC (Matter in Extreme Conditions) experiments, where high-power laser beams with Joule-class energies create impulsive pressure waves compressing materials on time scales of the order of ns. Eight snapshots for a single experiment will allow measuring the compression history, structural phase transitions into new high-pressure material states, and have the potential to resolve the transition kinetics time scales.

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.
