  The European XFEL is a free-electron laser facility based on superconducting linac with high repetition rate up to 4.5 MHz. Wakefield structure (also called dechirper module) is planned to be installed in front of the SASE beam line at the European FEL, which can be used as a kicker for two-color scheme or a dechirper to control the bandwidth of SASE radiation. When the beam pass through the dechirper module, strong longitudinal and transverse wakefields can be excited to introduce a correlated energy chirp and a kick along the bunch. However, due to the relatively small gap of dechirper, beam halo particles hitting the dechirper module can lead to energy deposition and generate additional radiation, which can cause serious damage to the downstream undulators. For this reason, simulations have been performed using BDSIM to define the maximum acceptable beam halo, and the results are presented in this paper.

  One technique for producing short radiation pulses in an FEL involves the use of a slotted foil in a bunch compressor. However, the scattering of particles from the foil can lead to increased particle losses and the generation of secondary particles. This is a particular concern for high rep-rate FELs, such as the European XFEL, where there are plans to implement the slotted-foil technique for short pulse generation. The study reported here aims to characterise the impact of a slotted foil in the European XFEL on the radiation dose in the front section of one of the undulators. Simulations were performed using BDSIM: this code tracks primary particles along the beamline, models the interaction between particles and accelerator components and tracks secondary particles produced by these interactions. The results indicate the amount of energy deposited in the front section of one of the FEL undulators, and provide a basis for optimisation of the collimation system to keep the energy deposition and radiation doses within acceptable limits.

  We propose to develop, characterize and operate a superconducting undulator (SCU) afterburner consisting of 5 undulator modules (1 module = 2 times SCU coil of 2 m length and 1 phase shifter) at the SASE2 hard X-ray beamline of European XFEL. This afterburner has the potential to produce an output of more than 1010 ph/pulse at photon energies above 30 keV. The project is divided into the production of a pre-series prototype module and a small-series production of 5 modules. Central goals of this R&D activity are: the demonstration of the functionality of SCUs at an X-ray FEL, the set up of the needed infrastructure to characterize and operate SCUs, the industrialization of such undulators, and the reduction of the price per module. In this contribution, the main parameters and specifications of the pre-series prototype module (S-PRESSO) are described.

Beam Delivery Simulation (BDSIM) is a program based on Geant4 that creates 3D radiation transport models of accelerators from a simple optical description in a vastly reduced time frame with great flexibility. It also uses ROOT and CLHEP to create a single simulation model that can accurately track all particle species in an accelerator to predict and understand beam losses, secondary radiation, dosimetric quantities and their origin. BDSIM provides a library of scalable generic geometry for a variety of applications. Our Python package, Pyg4ometry, allows rapid preparation and conversion of geometries for BDSIM and other radiation transport simulations including FLUKA. We present a broad overview of BDSIM developments related to a variety of experiments at several facilities. We present a model of the forward experiment FASER at the LHC, CERN where the geometry is composited from multiple sources using Pyg4ometry. The analysis of particle history is presented as well as production mechanisms. We also present the application of recently introduced laser interactions in Geant4 to Compton photons from a laserwire diagnostic at the ATF2.
