  The optics and simulation group at HZB are designing Germany’s future light source. Based on the emerging Energy Recovery Linac super conducting technology, the Femto-Science-Factory (FSF) will provide its users with ultra-bright photons of Angstrom wavelength at 6 GeV. The FSF is intended to be a multi-user facility and offer a wide variety of operation modes. A low emittance ~0.1 μm rad mode will operate in conjunction with a short-pulse ~10 fs mode. This paper highlights the physical limitations when trying to offer interchangeable modes and preserve beam high quality.  
 
MO1A02 Status of the European XFEL – Constructing the 17.5 GeV Superconducting Linear Accelerator cavity, electron, photon, klystron 105
 
  • W. Decking

  The European XFEL is presently under construction in Hamburg, Germany. It consists of a 1.2 km long superconducting linac serving an about 3 km long electron beam transport system. Three undulator systems of up to 200 m length each produce hard and soft x-rays via the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) process. We will present the status of the civil construction and the accelerator components. The production of the 100 superconducting accelerator modules is distributed between industries and a collaboration of accelerator laboratories. We describe the carefully orchestrated production sequence, quality assurance measures and risk mitigation mechanisms. The last module is scheduled to be installed in the accelerator in spring 2015 and commissioning with beam will start in summer of that year.

TU2A02 Overview of SACLA Machine Status electron, laser, gun, emittance 427

  SACLA of an X-ray free-electron laser has been constructed and was successfully lased at 0.06 nm in 2011. SACLA mainly comprises a low-emittance thermionic electron gun, an 8-GeV linear accelerator using C-band (5712 MHz) cavities and 18 in-vacuum undulators. The concept to develop this machine is compactness compared with the other machine, such as LCLS with the length of more than 1 km. Stable X-ray lasing up to 0.06 nm as also the concept demands extreme stable accelerator components, such as 50 fs temporal stability at a cavity in an injector. We now realized a 700 m compact machine by a low-emittance at the electron gun, an accelerating gradient of more than 35 MV/m with the C-band accelerator, and the short-period undulators. The continuous lasing for more than several days is strongly supported by these stable components and small operator‘s trimming, and also established by reduction of perturbation sources to laser instability. SACLA is regularly operated for user experiments, such as the imaging with extreme amount of data. This presentation introduces the machine performance, the reduction of the perturbation sources and the operation of SACLA.

  This talk will report the operations experience at LCLS and will describe the LCLS-II, a new X-ray FEL facility that uses the middle 1/3 of the SLAC linac as compared to the LCLS which uses the last 1/3 of the SLAC linac.

  To realize the SACLA, it is necessary to obtain stabilities of 10-4 and 50 fs in the amplitude and time of an acceleration voltage, respectively. The achievement of the rf stabilities were almost satisfactory for the target values. Consequently, the 7 GeV beam energy stability was 0.02% (std.) or less. However, there was XFEL power variation caused by a variation of a beam position in a 40 MeV injector section. A periodically changed beam position of 40 μm (std.) was found out at a cycle of 2 s by Fourier transform method using BPM data. The temperatures of all the injector rf cavities are controlled within 28±0.04˚C by a controller using the cooling water. The AC power supplies of the controller to heat the cooling water are operated at 0.5 Hz by pulse width modulation control with alternatively turning on or off. The strong correlation between laser intensity variation and the modulation frequency of the AC power supplies was found out. We are planning to improve the cavity temperature variation in the order of less than 0.01˚C with DC power supplies to establish continuously regulated the cavity temperature. This plan will reduce the XFEL power variation.

The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) will be based on a 10 to 17.5 GeV electron linac that will be used in the undulator system to obtain ultra-brilliant X-ray flashes from 0.1 to 6 nanometres for experimentation. The undulator system is formed by undulators and intersections between them, where a quadrupole on top of a precision mover, a beam position monitor, two air coils and a phase shifter are allocated. The function of the phase shifter is to adjust the phase of the electron beam and the radiation when they enter in an undulator according to the different beam energies and wavelengths. CIEMAT is working on the development of the phase shifters, as part of the Spanish in-kind contribution to the E-XFEL project. Several problems reported elsewhere were detected in the first prototype, which did not fulfil the first field integral specification. This paper describes the magnetic measurements realized on the second and third prototypes in the test bench at CELLS, together with the tuning process to decrease the field integral dependence with gap.
