LCLS Injector Through BC1 RF Gun & Solenoid + YAG screens 6 MeV L0a&L0b S-Band Linacs Transverse RF Cavity Bunch-Compressor-1 (BPM, OTR, collimator) OTR & Wire Scanners Gun Spectrometer Wire Scanners + OTR L1 S-Band Linac 135 MeV 250 MeV TD11 stopper X-Band RF Straight Ahead Spectrometer Bunch Length Diagnostics ~45 m (150 ft)
Electron Beam Transported to All Injector Areas • April 5: First photo-electrons from gun (6 MeV) • April 5: First e- to gun spectrometer (6 MeV) • April 8: First e- to inj-spectrometer (127 MeV) • April 9: First e- in linac to TD11 dump (127 MeV) • April 14: First 250-MeV beam through BC1 • Up to ~330 pC of charge (370 µJ laser energy) • 10 Hz beam & 30 Hz RF (30 Hz e- also tested) • Gun RF feedback running well (+ water)
Pre-Beam Tunnel Check List Almost Complete 40 pages, ~2000 checks – all DONE (except a few missing screens) Polarity conventions Field type (quad, dipole) Serial numbers Installation orientation etc. etc.

Long Ion Chamber Along Full Accelerator YAGS2 inserted YAG03 inserted
Charge and Position Jitter – Shot to Shot X-position jitter is 10 µm rms Charge jitter is 2.6% rms 2% 20 µm 100 shots at 10 Hz using BPM immediately after gun
BC1 Chicane Control and Compression Ceramic Gap Bunch Length Monitor Slope = 1 BC1 BPM X (mm) RF phase: +40º 250 MeV when X = 0 BC1 X-Mover (mm) BPM offset checked using BC1 collimator jaws to locate beam in X RF phase: 0º RF phase: -40º OTR screen still needs camera
Problems/Issues • Gun Faraday cup broken (pneumatic error) • Gun toroid shorted during installation • Gun z-position not right yet (7.5-mm interference) • YAG screens not setup before installation (hard-stops) • Still need to install cameras and air lines for 7 screens • No toroids working yet (1 shorted, 3 left to install) • BC1 motion control limited (300 mm 260 mm) • QE about 4-times lower than design (to be verified) • Some controls tools late (orbit displays & fitting) • MCOR power supply ADC readback noise (~1%)
2007 Injector Commissioning Goals DONE DONE DONE DONE http://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/lcls/internals/commissioning/documents/lclsinjector-commissioninggoals.doc STARTED ~DONE STARTED NOT STARTED
Summary • Beam transported to all areas (no trouble) • No obstructions or ‘backwards’ components, etc (but no systematic checkout yet) • Controls still developing, but working well and improving fast – great cooperation and effort • Communication with laser group excellent • Screens and toroids late, but installation continues • Some quality control issues with a few components • Thanks to all – First indications are very positive
