Linac Performance Review • Purpose • To access our overall plans for the linac • Are they realistic • Can we do better • If there are limitations what should we do to surmount them • Eg. “Historical” contamination and cleaning
CDR: FERMI Linac Performance Implied Off-crest operational energy of 1.14 GeV
Linac Performance New Goals • Maximum Energy That We Should Plan to • With things as they are 1.5 GeV • If the “SLED phasing” works 1.8 GeV
Linac Performance: Future? • Future Possible Upgrade Paths (Energy and Reliability) • SLED CERN Sections or Add 1 klystron per CERN Section • 7 total installed
“Reach” of FERMI Shown are the fundamental wavelengths. Of course harmonics extend to higher photon energies.
FEL II Concept • Basic Philosophy • Push to as short a wavelength (highest energy photons) as possible while maintaining full tunability and variable polarization over the whole tuning range. • Do not worry about generating long pulse lengths • Short pulses preferable by the users • Limit risk by adding one step of additional complexity at a time. • Example • Single Stage HGHG: FEL I • Cascade HGHG with Ti:S seed source: FEL II • Short wavelength seed sources • Harmonic generation in gases • Maintain uniqueness • Seeded, stabilized operation
FEL II Concept • FEL II Wavelength Coverage • Should be able to ensure full coverage over all polarizations from 40 nm (31 eV) to 10 nm (124 eV) • Should, if possible, try to get to 3 nm (413 eV) on the fundamental (stretch goal) and 1 nm (1240 eV) at the third harmonic • R&D Items • Implement next step when more D than R • But do the R for the next step
FEL II Concept • Configurations Explored • SASE • Seeding • Direct • HGHG • Single Stage • Multiple Stage • Seed Sources • Ti:Sapphire with OPA • Harmonic Generation in Gas
FEL II Concept • Harmonic Generation in Gas • Consulted experts • A. L’Huillier • A. De Silvestri • M. Murnane • H. Kapteyn • Direct Seeding • Need 10s of kWatts or better • The higher the power the shorter the undulator and the higher the “signal to noise ratio” (SASE contamination) • Still not easily tunable • But may be able to use a continuum and allow the FEL to differentiate • But can you get 3 nm with any type of reasonable system? • Would like 100 MW or better for effective modulation • May be possible down to roughly 50 to 60 nm. Beyond that no. • Even then flexible wavelength tuning still not proven in the lab • This could allow “single” stage operation down to maybe 3 nm • But really it is a cascade as the HHG system is the first stage • 60/3 is still 20, a big harmonic number
FEL II Concept • Harmonic Generation in Gas (Cont.) • “Low” Harmonic Generation • Might be able to get tunable radiation in the 60 to 70 nm range by looking at a low harmonic driven by a harmonic from the Ti:S • Conclude • One gets many opinions but there are no operational systems that meet the performance criteria that we need. • R&D needs to be done with HHG sources before they can truly be counted on as a primary seed source for the FEL • They will also certainly be the source of choice in the future, but today there is still plenty of R&D to be done. • Final Conclusion as to what FEL II should look like • 2 stage cascage HGHG with upgrade path to HHG
