Optimization of the design for the LCLS undulator line
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) undulator line will consist of undulator segments separated by breaks of various lengths. Focusing quadrupoles, in a FODO lattice, and electron-beam diagnostics will be located in the breaks, and every third break will be longer to also accommodate photon diagnostics. The electron-beam beta function and the undulator period were selected to minimize the saturation length. The FEL simulation code RON has been used to optimize parameters such as the length of the undulators and the break lengths between undulators. Different break lengths after the first three undulators have been found to help reduce the overall undulator line saturation length. Tolerances for individual undulators have also been determined. r 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Optics Design for a Soft X-ray FEL at the SLAC A-Line
LCLS capabilities can be significantly extended with a second undulator aiming at the soft x-ray spectrum (1 – 5 nm). To allow for simultaneous hard and soft x-ray operations, 14 GeV beams at the end of the LCLS accelerator can be intermittently switched into the SLAC A-line (the beam transport line to End Station A) where the second undulator may be located. In this paper, we discuss the A-lin...
متن کاملR&d towards a Delta-type Undulator for the Lcls*
The LCLS generates linearly polarized, intense, high brightness x-ray pulses from planar fixed-gap undulators. While the fixed-gap design supports a very successful and tightly controlled alignment concept, it provides only limited taper capability (up to 1% through canted pole and horizontal position adjustability) and lacks polarization control. The latter is of great importance for soft x-ra...
متن کاملOptimization of a Terawatt Free Electron Laser∗
There is great interest in generating a terawatt (TW) hard X-ray free electron laser (FEL) that will enable coherent diffraction imaging of complex molecules like proteins and probe fundamental high-field physics. A feasibility study of producing such pulses was carried out employing a configuration beginning with an SASE amplifier, followed by a “self-seeding” crystal monochromator, and finish...
متن کاملResistive wall wakefield in the LCLS undulator beam pipe
We have shown that, due to the ac resistive wall wakefield, the present LCLS undulator design, with its round copper beam pipe, will result in an unacceptably large energy variation induced within the bunch over the length of the undulator (0.6%). If, instead, we use a flat, aluminum chamber, the energy variation can be reduced to within acceptable limits (∼ 0.2%). Finally we have shown that th...
متن کاملLinac Coherent Light Source Undulator Rf Bpm System *
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will be the world's first x-ray free-electron laser (FEL) when it becomes operational in 2009. The LCLS is currently in the construction phase. The beam position monitor (BPM) system planned for the LCLS undulator will incorporate a high-resolution X-band cavity BPM system described in this paper. The BPM system will provide high-resolution measurements of...
