  The CompactLight project is currently developing the design of a next generation hard X-ray FEL facility, which is based on high-gradient X-band (12 GHz) structures. However, to carry out pump-and-probe experiments in the project, two-bunch operation with a spacing of 10 X-band rf cycles is proposed. A sub-harmonic transverse deflecting structure working at S-band is proposed to direct the two bunches into two separate FEL lines. The two FEL pulses will have independently tunable wavelengths and can be combined in a single experiment with a temporal delay between pulses of ± 100 fs. The rf design of the transverse deflector is presented in this paper.

The H2020 CompactLight Project aims for the design of innovative, cost-effective, compact FEL facilities to generate higher peak brilliance radiation in the soft and hard X-ray. In this paper we assess via simulation studies the performance of a variably polarising APPLE-X afterburner positioned downstream of a helical Super Conducting Undulator (SCU). We discuss the optimum balance between the active SCU length and the afterburner length, considering the peak brilliance and pulse energy of the output. Our studies are complemented with analysis of the optical beam quality of the afterburner output to determine the design constraints of the photon beamline that delivers the FEL output to the experimental areas.
