MOPAB266 | Start-to-End Study on Laser and RF Jitter Effects for MAX-IV SXL | 844 |
|
||
A Soft X-ray free electron laser (FEL) for the MAX IV Laboratory is currently in the design phase and it will use the existing 3 GeV linac. Present stability limits in the RF and the photocathode laser will affect the performance of the FEL. One of the critical elements for the design of a FEL is to have an estimation on jitter effects of the accelerator parameters on the X-ray radiation. In this regard, we implemented a start-to-end study using Astra, Elegant and Genesis in order to assess possible variations in pulse energy, photon pulse length and spectral width in the Soft X-ray Laser (SXL) radiation. This investigation provides insights on the final SXL performance variation due to RF and laser related jitter affecting the electron beam. | ||

TUPAB082 | Analysis of the Effect of Energy Chirp in Implementing EEHG at SXL | 1566 |
|
||
As a part of the efforts to improve the longitudinal coherence in the design of the Soft X-ray FEL (the SXL) at MAX IV, we present a possible implementation of the EEHG harmonic seeding scheme partly integrated into the second bunch compressor of the existing LINAC. A special focus is given to the effect of CSR on the resulting EEHG bunching and on how this unwanted effect might be controlled. | ||

TUPAB103 | Discussion on CSR instability in EEHG Simulation | 1622 |
|
||
Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG) is an external seeding technique for XUV and soft X-ray Free Electron Lasers (FEL). It has recently been experimentally demonstrated and currently many facilities worldwide intend to incorporate it in user operation. The EEHG process relies on very accurate and complex transformations of electron beam phase space by means of a series of undulators coupled to lasers and dispersive chicanes. As a result of the phase space manipulation, electrons are bunched at a high harmonic of the seed laser wavelength allowing coherent emission at few nm wavelength. Dispersion occurring in strong chicanes is imperative for implementation of this scheme and effective electron bunching generation. However, strong chicanes at the same time can be source of beam instability effects, such as Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR), that can significantly grow in these conditions and suppress the bunching process. Therefore, there is a common need to investigate such effects in detail. Here, we discuss their treatment with simulation codes applied to a typical EEHG setup. | ||

TUPAB113 | Highlights From the Conceptual Design Report of the Soft X-Ray Laser at MAX IV | 1651 |
|
||
Funding: Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation The SXL (Soft X-ray Laser) project developed a conceptual design for a soft X-ray Free Electron Laser in the 1–5 nm wavelength range, driven by the existing MAX IV 3 GeV linac. In this contribution we will focus on the FEL operation modes developed for the first phase of the project based on two different linac modes. The design work was supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg foundation and by several Swedish universities and organizations (Stockholm, Uppsala, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm-Uppsala FEL center, MAX IV laboratory and Lund University). |
