TUPA26 | Beam Commissioning of the SACLA Accelerator | undulator, FEL, electron, radiation | 255 |
|
|||
The commissioning of the X-ray FEL facility of SPring-8, which is named SACLA (SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free-electron LAser), has been started since February 2011. During the beam commissioning, beam diagnostic system and control system are also tested and improved to enable fine tuning of the machine. The position and energy of the electron beam shows excellent stability and the fault rate of the RF system per hour is currently decreased to less than one. Since coherent OTR hinders the beam profile measurement after full bunch compression, several OTR screens are changed to YAG screens with a partial mask installed in its optics. So far the electron beam is successfully accelerated up to 8 GeV and spontaneous emission was observed with weak bunch compression. For the lasing, the RF parameters are first set so that a 0.1 nC bunch is compressed to 30 fs to obtain 3 kA beam current. Then the transverse beam profile is adjusted to match the focusing condition of the undulator section. In the conference, we will report the beam commissioning of the SACLA accelerator. | |||
WEPA19 | Report on the Redesign of the Fibre Link Stabilisation Units at FLASH | laser, optics, controls, free-electron-laser | 370 |

Funding: This work is partly supported by IRUVX-PP an EU co-funded project under FP7 (Grant Agreement 211285) Recently, the fibre link stabilisation unit of the optical synchronisation system at FLASH has been subject to several design changes involving some major issues. Enhancements of the optical design have led to improvements in the efficiency of the free space optics and a new optical delay line allows for a more than two times longer adjustment range. The amplitude noise, encountered previously at the remote station of the links, was drastically decreased by a new beam splitting configuration. In future, this new link design will not only be used for the planned additional fibre links at FLASH, but it will also replace the already installed ones. In this paper we report on the changes of opto-mechanical design and we present first results from the recently commissioned links. |

WEPA22 | Development of Insertion Devices Measurement System at IHEP | undulator, insertion, controls, insertion-device | 381 |
|
|||
In the cooperation between IHEP and EXFEL, prototype undulator U48 for EXFEL is developed by IHEP. In order to meet, maintain and verify the ID’s magnetic performance, a magnetic measurement system has been developed. The development status of the system at IHEP is described in this paper. A 6.5 m long measurement bench with hall probe and small coil is used to measure the vertical and horizontal components of the Insertion Device magnetic field. The measurement system includes a precise granite bench to position and move the magnetic sensors, motion control part and data acquisition part. The characteristics and performances of the magnetic measurement system are presented. | |||
