  FERMI is the Italian externally seeded free electron laser in the UV and soft x-rays, driven by a high brightness electron beam S-band plus X-band linac. In recent times, the linac has been upgraded, leading the final beam energy from the design value of 1.2 GeV to 1.5 GeV. Together with proper management of the electron beam quality, fundamental wavelengths down to 4 nm become therefore accessible to users. Additional upgrades concerning laser systems, diagnostics and RF structures are on the path. We present the FERMI FEL linac status, and provide an overview of running and future capabilities of the facility.

The 4 GeV LCLS-II superconducting linac will contain 280, 1.3 GHz TESLA-style cavities operated CW at 16 MV/m. Because of the low beam current, the cavity bandwidth will be fairly small, about 32 Hz, which makes the field stability sensitive to detuning from external vibrations and He pressure fluctuations. Piezo-electric actuators will be used to compensate for the detuning, which historically has been difficult at frequencies above a few Hz due to excitation of cavity mechanical resonances. To understand this interaction better, we have been doing extensive modeling of the cavities including mapping out the mechanical modes and computing their coupling to pressure changes, Lorentz forces and piezo actuator motion. One goal is to reproduce the measured detuning response of the piezo actuators up to 1 kHz, which is sensitive to how the cavities are constrained within a cryomodule. In this paper, we summarize these results and their implications for suppressing higher frequency detuning.

  The high gain free electron lasers (FEL) based on electron linacs can offer unprecedented performances for many science fields. There are several FEL facilities in China that have been built at different wavelength regimes. This talk will describe the latest development of three major FEL facilities in China including Shanghai Deep UV FEL at SINAP, DCLS VUV FEL at DICP and Shanghai X-ray FEL at SINAP.

The microbunching instability developed during the beam compression process in the linear accelerator (LIN-AC) of a free-electron laser (FEL) facility has always been a problem that degrades the lasing performance, and even no FEL is able to be produced if the beam quality is destroyed too much by the instability. A common way to suppress the microbunching instability is to introduce extra uncorrelated energy spread by the laser heater that heats the beam through the interaction between the electron and laser beam, as what has been successfully implemented in the Linac Coherent Light Source and Fermi@Elettra. In this paper, a simple and effective scheme is proposed to suppress the microbunching instability by adding two transverse gradient undulators (TGU) before and after the magnetic bunch compressor. The additional uncorrelated energy spread and the density mixing from the transverse spread brought up by the first TGU results in significant suppression of the instability. Meanwhile, the extra slice energy spread and the transverse emittance can also be effectively recovered by the second TGU. The magnitude of the suppression can be easily controlled by varying the strength of the magnetic fields of the TGUs. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate the capability of the proposed technique in the LINAC of an x-ray free-electron laser facility.

  For the European XFEL project, horizontal multi-beam klystrons (MBK) which produce RF power up to 10 MW, at an RF frequency of 1.3 GHz, 1.5 ms pulse length and 10 Hz repetition rate, were chosen as RF power sources. All MBKs have been manufactured by two companies, 22 tubes from Thales Electron Devices and 7 tubes from Toshiba Electron Tubes & Devices. In this article we will give a summary of the tube testing, conditioning and installation in the underground linear accelerator tunnel.
