Shielding Calculations for the Hard X-ray Generated by Lcls Mec Laser System
نویسندگان
چکیده
LCLS Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) Instrument is an X-ray instrument that will be able to create and diagnose High Energy Density (HED) matter. The MEC laser system can generate hard X-ray due to the interaction of the laser and the plasma. This paper summarizes results of the shielding calculations performed to evaluate the radiation hazards induced by this hard X-ray source with Monte Carlo code FLUKA. The dose rates and photon spectra due to this X-ray source are calculated at different locations with different shielding. The influence of the electron temperature on the source terms and the shielding effectiveness was also investigated.

Comparison of FLUKA and STAC8 for shielding calculations of the hard X-ray line of the LCLS
This Note describes calculations of the shielding necessary to reduce the dose rate to less than 0.05 mrem/h when synchrotron radiations emitted by the LCLS electrons beam hit a worst type scattering target located in the hard X-ray line. The calculations were performed using the FLUKA Monte-Carlo code and as well as the STAC8 analytical code. The photon spectrum used as a source term correspon...

متن کاملFocusing XFEL SASE pulses by rotationally parabolic refractive x-ray lenses
Using rotationally parabolic refractive x-ray lenses made of beryllium, we focus hard x-ray free-electron laser pulses of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) down to a spot size in the 100 nm range. We demonstrated efficient nanofocusing and characterized the nanofocused wave field by ptychographic imaging [A. Schropp, et al., Sci. Rep. 3, 1633 (2013)] in the case of monochromatic LCLS pulse...

The LCLS hard x-ray Free Electron Laser at SLAC reported first lasing in April of 2009. Since then two successful user runs have been completed at the two soft x-ray stations. The first hard x-ray station has started commissioning in July of 2010. Beam diagnostics play an essential role for tuning the machine and delivering the requested beam properties to the users. An overview of the LCLS pho...
