MOPKF015 | A Superconducting Photo-Injector with 3+1/2- Cell Cavity for the ELBE Linac | 333 |
|
||
After successful tests of an SRF gun with a superconducting half-cell cavity [*], a new SRF photo-injector for CW operation at the ELBE linac has been designed. In this report the design layout of the SRF photo-injector, the parameters of the superconducting cavity and the expected electron beam parameters are presented. The SRF gun has a 31/2-cell niobium cavity working at 1.3 MHz and will be operated at 2 K. The three full cells have TESLA-like shapes. In the half-cell the photocathode is situated which will be cooled by liquid nitrogen.

MOPKF027 | Optimizing the PITZ Electron Source for the VUV-FEL | 360 |
|
||
The goal of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) is to test and optimize electron sources for Free Electron Lasers and future linear colliders. At the end of 2003 the first stage of PITZ (PITZ1) has been successfully completed, resulting in the installation of the PITZ RF gun at the Vacuum Ultra Violet - Free Electron Laser (VUV-FEL) at DESY Hamburg. The main results achieved during the PITZ1 extensive measurement program are discussed in this paper. A minimum normalized beam emittance of about 1.5 pi mm mrad for 1 nC electron bunch charge has been reached by optimizing numerous photo injector parameters, e.g. longitudinal and transverse profiles of the photocathode laser, RF phase, main and bucking solenoid current. The second stage of PITZ (PITZ2), being a large extension of the facility and its research program, has started now. Recent progress on the PITZ2 developments will be reported as well. | ||
THPKF014 | Status of the BESSY II Femtosecond X-ray Source | 2284 |
|
||
At the BESSY II storage ring, work is in progress to produce X-ray pulses with 50 fs (fwhm) duration and tunable energy and polarization by "femtoslicing" [*].This work includes extensive alterations to the storage ring (one new and one modified undulator, both in the same straight section, three additional dipole magnets, a new IR beamline, and nine meters of new vacuum vessels) and to two beamlines (relocation and new optical designs), as well as the installation of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser system. Commissioning is planned for May 2004. This paper reviews the principles and technical implementation of the new femtosecond X-ray source, and reports the status of the project.
