MOP085 | Scheme to Increase the Output Average Spectral Flux of the European XFEL at 14.4 keV | FEL, undulator, electron, photon | 251 |

Inelastic X-ray scattering and nuclear resonance scattering are limited by the photon flux available at SR sources, up to 1010 ph/s/meV at 14.4 keV. A thousand-fold increase may be obtained by exploiting high repetition rate self-seeded pulses at the European XFEL. We report on a feasibility study for an optimized configuration of the SASE2 beamline combining self-seeding and undulator tapering at 14.4 keV. One should perform monochromatization at 7.2 keV by self-seeding, and amplify the seed in the first part of the output undulator. Before saturation, the electron beam is considerably bunched at the 2nd harmonic. A second part of the output undulator tuned to 14.4 keV can thus be used to obtain saturation at this energy. One can further prolong the exchange of energy between the photon and the electron beam by tapering the last part of the output undulator. Start-to-end simulations demonstrate that self-seeding, combined with undulator tapering, allows one to achieve more than a hundred-fold increase in average spectral flux compared with the nominal SASE regime at saturation, resulting in a spectral flux of order 1013 ph/s/meV. A more detailed description of this study can be found in*.

MOP086 | Novel Opportunities for Sub-meV Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Experiments at High-Repetition Rate Self-seeded XFELs | undulator, radiation, photon, optics | 257 |

Inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) is an important tool for studies of equilibrium dynamics in condensed matter. A new spectrometer recently proposed for ultra-high-resolution IXS (UHRIX) has achieved 0.6 meV and 0.25/nm spectral and momentum Transfer resolutions, respectively*. However, further improvements down to 0.1 meV and 0.02/nm are required to close the gap in energy-momentum space between high and low frequency probes. We Show that this goal can be achieved by further improvements in x-ray optics and by increasing the spectral flux of the incident x-ray pulses. UHRIX performs best at energies from 5 to 10 keV, where a combination of self-seeding and undulator tapering at the SASE2 beamline of the European XFEL promises up to a hundred-fold increase in average spectral flux compared to nominal SASE pulses at saturation, or three orders of magnitude more than possible with storage-ring based radiation sources. Wave-optics propagation shows that about 7·1012 ph/s in a 90-microeV bandwidth can be achieved on the sample. This will provide unique new possibilities for IXS. Extended information about our work can be found in**.

TUP009 | Coherent Thomson Scattering Using the PEHG | radiation, laser, electron, simulation | 351 |

Electron beam is density modulated by the phase-merging effect to obtain ultra-short longitudinal structures in the phase space. Coherent radiations are then generated by the coherent Thomson scattering between the phase-merged beam and a long wavelength laser pulse. | |||

WEP010 | Development of Phonon Dynamics Measurement System by MIR-FEL and Pico-second Laser | FEL, laser, timing, lattice | 615 |

Coherent control of a lattice vibration in bulk solid (mode-selective phonon excitation: MSPE) is one of the attractive methods in the solid state physics because it becomes a powerful tool for the study of ultrafast lattice dynamics (e.g. electron-phonon interaction and phonon-phonon interaction). Not only for that, MSPE can control electronic, magnetic, and structural phases of materials. In 2013, we have directly demonstrated MSPE of a bulk material with MIR-FEL (KU-FEL) by anti-Stokes Raman scattering spectroscopy. For the next step, we are starting a phonon dynamics measurement to investigate the difference of physical property between thermally excited phonon (phonon of equilibrium state) and optically excited phonon (phonon of non-equilibrium state) by time-resolved method in combination with a pico-second VIS laser. By using pico-second laser, we also expect to perform the anti-Stokes hyper-Raman scattering spectroscopy to extend MSPE method to the phonon mode which has Raman inactive . As the first step, we have commissioned the time-resolved phonon measurement system and started measurement on 6H-SiC. In this conference, we will present the outline of measurement system, and experimental results. | |||
