Beam Dynamics Study of X-band Linac Driven X-ray Fels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several linac driven X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs) are being developed to provide high brightness photon beams with very short, tunable wavelengths. In this paper, three XFEL configurations are proposed that achieve LCLS-like performance using X-band linac drivers. These linacs are more versatile, efficient and compact than ones using S-band or C-band rf technology. For each of the designs, the overall accelerator layout and the shaping of the bunch longitudinal phase space are described briefly.

X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) have opened unprecedented possibilities to study the structure and dynamics of matter at an atomic level and ultra-fast timescale. Many of the techniques routinely used at storage ring facilities are being adapted for experiments conducted at FELs. In order to take full advantage of these new sources several challenges have to be overcome. They are related to t...

Free electron lasers (FELs) have until now been limited to the infrared, visible and near UV part of the electromagnetic spectrum . Recent progress in FEL physics and technology is changing this situation, and an effort is now under way to design and build FELs operating at wavelengths shorter than 100 nm . Three main avenues are being followed to reach this goal : FELs oscillators based on sto...
متن کاملAcceleration and Bunching in a 6 Mv X Band Linac
We present detailed beam dynamic simulations in a compact X band accelerator. The accelerator must be capable of delivering an electron beam of 0.5 MW peak at 6 MeV, in order ot produce an X ray dose of 10 Gy/mn at 80 cm for medical applications. The use of a PARMELA like code (DYPAL [1]) allowed us to investigate radial and longitudinal beam dynamics. Important aspects of the calculation were ...
متن کاملEnergy-Recovery Option for a Future X-ray Free-Electron Laser
A superconducting electron linac together with an energy-recovery system, which has been demonstrated as a useful driver for high-power IR-FELs, seems to be an attractive device for a future X-ray FEL facility as well, because the energy-recovery enable one to reduce the RF generator power required for the operation and also reduce the radiation from the beam dump. Automatic cancellation of bea...
متن کاملThe Path towards X-ray Free-electron Lasers
At present, the linac-based SASE process is the most promising approach to reaching x-ray wavelengths with a free-electron laser. In the Self-Amplified-SpontaneousEmission process the spontaneous radiation is amplified in the single pass of an electron beam through an undulator, and no mirrors are required. This is an essential requirement for x-ray FELs, since the reflectivity of mirrors decre...
