MOPC010 | Phase-Modulation SLED Operation Mode at Elettra | 83 |
|
||
FERMI@Elettra is the soft X-ray, fourth generation light source facility at the Elettra Laboratory in Trieste, Italy. It is based on a seeded FEL, driven by a normal conducting linac that is presently expected to operate at 1.5 GeV. The last seven backward traveling wave structures have been equipped with a SLED system. Due to breakdown problems inside the sections, that was the result of high peak fields generated during conventional SLED operation, the sections experienced difficulties in reaching the desired gradients. To lower the peak field and make the compressed pulse “flatter”, phase-modulation of the SLED drive power will be implemented. A description of the phase modulation of the drive power and the results achieved will be reported in the following paper. | ||
TUZA01 | Commissioning and Initial Operation of FERMI@Elettra | 918 |

Funding: Work was supported in part by the Italian Ministry of University and Research under grants FIRB-RBAP045JF2 and FIRB-RBAP06AWK3. This article describes the design goals of FERMI@Elettra, reports on the goals achieved so far and shows how the facility development has been driven by the new research frontier of ultra-fast, extreme ultra-violet and soft X-ray science. The commissioning phases and first experience with user pilot experiments are presented and discussed. |
