| As is widely recognized, fourth generation Light Sources are based on FELs driven by Linacs. Soft and hard X-ray FEL facilities are presently operational at several laboratories, SLAC (LCLS), Spring-8 (SACLA), Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste (FERMI), DESY (FLASH), or are in the construction phase, PSI (SwissFEL), PAL (PAL-XFEL), DESY (European X-FEL), SLAC (LCLS II), or are newly proposed in many laboratories. Most of the above mentioned facilities use NC S-band (3 GHz) or C-band (6 GHz) linacs for generating a multi-GeV low emittance beam. The use of the C-band increases the linac operating gradients, with an overall reduction of the machine length and cost. These advantages, however, can be further enhanced by using X-band (12 GHz) linacs that operate with gradients twice that given by C-band technology. With the low bunch charge option, currently considered for future X-ray FELs, X-band technology offers a low cost and compact solution for generating multi-GeV, low emittance bunches. The paper reports the ongoing activities in the framework of a collaboration among several laboratories for the development and validation of X-band technology for FEL based photon sources. | ||
| MOPP132 | Development of a Micro-Pulse Electron Gun Based Upon pi-Mode Dual-Cavity | 367 |
|
||
| The concept of a novel micro-pulse electron gun (MPG) based upon pi-mode dual-cavity is proposed and analyzed in this paper, and we termed it as dual-cavity micro-pulse electron gun (D-MPG) as compared to single-cavity standard MPG. From simulations, it is clear that the D-MPG is capable of yielding dozens of ampere peak currents and a few ps bunch length. Thought the mechanism for dual cavity is not fully understand, the D-MPG has demonstrate the potential to be the injectors for FEL and THz radiation facilities. Also it is a good candidate to replace the thermal cathode for industrial and medical accelerator system because of the cost-effective of the D-MPG. | ||
| TUPP127 | R&D of X-band Accelerating Structure for Compact XFEL at SINAP | 715 |
|
||
| One compact hard X-ray FEL facility is being planned at SINAP, and X-band high gradient accelerating structure is the most competetive scheme for this plan. X-band accelerating structure is designed to switch between 60MV/m and 80MV/m, and carries out 6GeV and 8GeV by 130 meters linac respectively. In this paper, brief layout of compact XFEL will be introduced, and in particular the prototype design of dedicated X-band acceleration RF system is also presented. | ||
| TUPP128 | ECHO-enabled Tunable Terahertz Radiation Generation with a Laser-modulated Relativistic Electron Beam | 719 |
|
||
| A new scheme to generate narrow-band tunable Terahertz (THz) radiation using a variant of the echo-enabled harmonic generation is analyzed. We show that by using an energy chirped beam, THz density modulation in the beam phase space can be produced with two lasers having the same wavelength. This removes the need for an optical parametric amplifier system to provide a wavelength-tunable laser to vary the central frequency of the THz radiation. The practical feasibility and applications of this scheme is demonstrated numerically with a start-to-end simulation using the beam parameters at Shanghai Deep Ultraviolet Free-Electron Laser facility (SDUV). The central frequency of the density modulation can be continuously tuned by either varying the chirp of the beam or the momentum compactions of the chicanes. The influence of nonlinear RF chirp and longitudinal space charge effect have also been studied in our article. We also briefly discuss how one may retrieve the beam longitudinal phase space through measurement of the THz density modulation. \end{abstract} | ||

A measurement and tuning method for traveling wave deflecting structure | |
|
||
| For traveling wave accelerating structures, the tuning method assisted by bead pull technique based on non-resonant perturbation field distribution measurement has been widely applied for measure and tuning both constant-impedance and constant-gradient structures. The method is also suitable for deflecting structures, but some key considerations of the field component and of the bead are discussed. The measurement and tuning method will be used on new X-band deflecting cavity at SINAP, and the measurement on S-band traveling wave deflecting cavity is presented at last. | ||
