XFEL/SPring-8 is under construction, which is aiming at generating coherent, high brilliance, ultra-short femto-second X-ray pulse at wavelength of 1Å or shorter. The injector consists of a 500kV thermionic gun (CeB6), a beam deflecting system, multi-stage RF structures and ten magnetic lenses. The multi-stage RF structures (238MHz, 476MHz, 1428MHz) are used for bunching and accelerating the beam gradually to maintain the initial beam emittance. In addition, in order to realize linearizing the energy chirp of the beam bunch at three magnetic bunch compression systems after the injector system, we prepared extra RF structures of 1428MHz and 5712MHz. It is important to stabilize the gap voltage of those RF structures because the intensity of X-ray pulse is more sensitive for a slight variation of the RF system in the injector. We developed some stable amplifiers for those RF structures, and confirmed the amplitude and phase stability of an RF signal outputted from the amplifiers. The measurement results achieved nearly the requirement of design parameters. In this paper, we describe the development status and the achieved performances of RF equipment of the injector section. |

We report the design, performance, and installation of the beam diagnostic system of XFEL/SPring-8. The electron beam bunches of an XFEL accelerator are compressed from 1 ns to 30 fs by bunch compressors without emittance growth and peak-current fluctuation which directly cause SASE fluctuation. To maintain the stable bunch compression process, the accelerator requires rf caivty beam position monitors (BPM) with 100 nm resolution, OTR screen monitors (SCM) with a few micro-meter resolution, fast beam current monitors (CT) and temporal structure measurement systems with resolution under picosecond. The performance of the developed monitor instruments, such as the BPM, the SCM, and the CT, was tested at the SCSS test accelerator and satisfied with the requirements. To measure the temporal structure of the electron bunch, three type measurement systems, which are a streak camera, an EO sampling measurement, and a transverse deflecting cavity with a resolution of few-tens femtosecond, are being prepared. The streak camera and EO sampling shows the resolution of sub-picosecond. The installation of these beam diagnostic systems is going on smoothly. |

The injector of the 8 GeV linac generates an electron beam of 1 nC, accelerates it up to 30 MeV, and compresses its bunch length down to 20 ps. Even slight RF instability in its multi-stage bunching section fluctuates the bunch width and the peak current of an electron beam and it accordingly results in unstable laser oscillation in the undulator section. The acceptable instabilities of the RF fields in the cavities, which permit 10% rms variation of the peak beam current, are only about 0.01% rms in amplitude and 120 fs rms in phase according to beam simulation. The long-term RF variations can be compensated by feedback control of the RF amplitude and phase, the short-term or pulse-to-pulse variations, however, have to be reduced as much as possible by improving RF equipment such as amplifiers. Thus we have carefully designed and manufactured the RF cavities, amplifiers and control systems, giving the highest priority to the stabilization of the short-term variations. Components of the injector will be completed by the end of the April 2010, and the injector will be perfected in the summer 2010. We will present the performance of the completed devices in the conference. |
