  7. Brilliance and low emittance The brilliance of the photon beam is determined (mostly) by the electron beam emittance that defines the source size and divergence

  8. Brilliance with IDs Thanks to the progress with IDs technology storage ring light sources can cover a photon range from few tens of eV to tens 10 keV or more with high brilliance Medium energy storage rings with In-vacuum undulators operated at low gaps (e.g. 5-7 mm) can reach 10 keV with a brilliance of 1020 ph/s/0.1%BW/mm2/mrad2 IoP NPPD Glasgow, 06 April 2011

  15. Trends in 3rd generation light sources Striving to meet advanced user’s requirements more beamlines (canted undulator from single straight sections) customised optics higher brightness (low emittance – low coupling) higher flux (higher current) short pulses New machine designs or upgrades are targeting 100 pm or less in the horizontal plane … but peak brightness and pulses length cannot compete with FELs IoP NPPD Glasgow, 06 April 2011

  16. Users’ requirements - 4th generation light sources Higher peak brightness Transverse coherence SASE Tunability Ultra short pulses (<100 fs down to sub-fs) Temporal coherence direct seeding - seeding + HG High repetition rates / Time structure SC/NC RF IDs technology or novel schemes Polarisation control Synchronisation to external lasers VUV and THz

  17. FEL radiation properties FELs provide peak brilliance 8 order of magnitudes larger than storage ring light sources Average brilliance is 2-4 order of magnitude larger and radiation pulse lengths are of the order of 100s fs or less Slicing or low charge Many projects target Soft X-rays (here 40 – 1 nm) . Soft X-rays FELs require 1-3 GeV Linacs. Hard X-rays project will also provide Soft X-rays beamlines (Swiss FEL – LCLS)

  31. Possible future directions for 4th generation light sources • Ultracold injectors: low emittance, low charge, to shorten the saturation length • Insertion Devices: development of new undulators beyond Apple-II, compact, shorter periods, higher fields, wakefield control, compact (e.g. Superconducting U) • RF: Optimise performance and reduce cost of SC RF (gradient choices 13-15 MV/m for LBNL, NLS, BESSY) or use simple low risk design with high gradient (possibly high repetition rate based on C-band X-band) • FEL physics: Critical assessment of various seeding schemes, non-seeding and slicing options, HHG, HGHG cascade and sub fs pulses • AP Physics: alternative compression schemes to avoid the limits posed by microbunching (velocity bunching) • Diagnostics: New diagnostics for ultra short bunches, arrival time, low charge but also dealing with COTR • Timing and synhcronisation: sub 10-fs resolution over 100s m; long term stability • Stability and feedbacks: positions (sub m over large frequency range), energy, charge, …

  32. Beyond fourth generation light sources The progress with laser plasma accelerators in the last years have open the possibility if using them for the generation for synchrotron radiation and even to drive a FELs First observation of undulator radiation achieved in Soft X-ray FEL type beam can be achieved with relatively modest improvements on what presently achieved and significant improvement on the stability of these beams Layout of a compact light source driven by a LPWA

  39. Alpha X - Summary Beam quality appear to be close to the one required for driving FEL in the UV - XUV: 170 MeV beam Measured emittance below 1 m Charge 1 – 5 pC in 2 fs corresponding to 1-2 kA Measured energy spread better 1% should be sufficient at least to measure FEL gain in the XUV range Progress is advancing nicely towards a working compact soft X-ray driven by a LPWA electron beam based on gas jet or capillary accelerator talk by D: Jarosinsky tomorrow IoP NPPD Glasgow, 06 April 2011

  40. Conclusions Users’ requirements pose difficult challenges for storage ring and FEL design and operation The methods and solutions developed show that these challenges can be met. Experimental tests of seeding in the coming future will confirm the extent of seeding capabilities to cover the whole Soft X-ray spectrum down to 1 nm However, more compact and economic solutions to meet the present challenges are needed: Injectors – IDs – LINACs RF technology ….
