  1. Measuring the FEL gain with trajectory distortionZ. Huang, SLACJanuary 20, 2004

  2. Introduction • Stop the FEL amplification in the undulator and measure the radiation properties at the end (TTF results, PRL, 2001)

  3. Single Kick Error (SKE) • Two effects of SKE (Tanaka et al., FEL2003): reduction in coupling smearing of microbunching • Critical angle to destroy FEL interaction

  4. Trajectory distortion in LCLS • Offset the quad by Qx amount. If the focal length of the quad is F, then the kick angle is qQ = -Qx/F • Set qQ = qc, since F≈10m, Qx ≈ 60mm, so that the maximum betatron amplitude bxqQ≈ 2Qx

  5. GENESIS simulation results • Total power still grows due to interaction with higher-order modes & spontaneous radiation (div. angle up to 100 mrad) • On-axis power is dominated by the FEL fundamental mode only (~1 mrad) and stops growing when Qx~60 mm.

  6. Z-dependence • Initial stage: no microbunching to destroy, still some weak interaction + a lot of spontaneous • Exponential growth region, works reasonably well Qx = 60 mm Vary Qx

  7. Summary • It worked (as in TTF,…) • Trajectory distortion can stop further growth of FEL fundamental mode, but other higher-order modes (including spontaneous) increase the background • Collimation helps to pick up on-axis signal, or can we find the hot spot by data analysis? • Measurement results should be cross-checked with other methods, if possible

  8. Spontaneous v.s. FEL gain • Spontaneous fundamental radiation within 3% bandwidth reaches 60 MW, FEL signal can dominate after 40m Spontaneous fundamental in 3% BW (Z. Huang, K.-J. Kim FEL2002)
