  PETRA-III is a 3rd generation synchrotron light source dedicated to users at 14 beam lines with 30 instruments since 2009. This operates in 40, 60, 480 or 960 bunches with 100 mA at an electron beam energy of 6 GeV. The horizontal beam emittance is 1nmrad while a coupling of 1% amounts to a vertical emittance of 10 pm-rad. The low emittance is achieved by deploying 80m of damping wigglers in two sections in west and north. Some of these undulators and wiggler devices have accumulated total radiation doses of about 100 kGy. Visible corrosion at the magnet structures of some permanent magnet undulators is seen. High dose rate measured regularly by Thermo Luminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) are monitored, which lead to inspect the magnetic field of all insertion devices in the PETRA tunnel. We are investigating particle losses with tracking simulation using SixTrack to gain a certain understanding of the radiation damage of the insertion devices. The goal is to develop a strategy to safeguard the insertion devices from further radiation damage.

  An experimental setup for the generation of monochromatic undulator radiation at the laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) in Jena using a transverse gradient undulator (TGU) is planned. Proper matching of the betatron functions and the dispersion of the electron beam to the undulator is essential. Therefor a beam transport system with strong focusing magnets and chromatic correction of these magnets is required. As a first step, a linear beam transport system without chromatic correction was assembled at the LWFA. With this setup the electron beam’s dispersion and the beta function of one selected energy are matched to the required parameters at the TGU. This contribution presents the experimental results of these measurements.

  Recent measurements showed that the ALBA transverse impedance model was able to explain 65% of the measured single bunch vertical detuning. * This report shows the revision of the impedance model developed to match latest single bunch measurements performed to evaluate the total effective machine impedance and impedance of specific elements, like in-vacuum undulators or a recently installed pinger magnet. The model improvement includes a better bunch length parameterisation, re-calculation of several vacuum chamber elements with Gdfidl, and inclusion of elements neglected so far in the impedance budget. We also show and discuss the computation of the resistive wall impedance using ImpedanceWake2D.

  Optical stochastic cooling (OSC) is a method of beam cooling which is expected to provide cooling rates orders of magnitude larger than ordinary stochastic cooling. Light from an undulator (the pickup) is amplified and fed back onto the particle beam via another undulator (the kicker). Fermilab is currently exploring a possible proof-of-principle experiment of the OSC at the integrable-optics test accelerator (IOTA) ring. To implement effective OSC a good correction of phase distortions in the entire band of the optical amplifier is required. In this contribution we present progress in experimental characterization of phase distortions associated to a Titanium Sapphire crystal laser-gain medium (a possible candidate gain medium for the OSC experiment to be performed at IOTA). We also discuss a possible option for a mid-IR amplifier.

MOPHA035 Beam Optics Measurements at FLASH2 extraction, linac, optics, FEL 863
 
  • M. Scholz, M. Vogt, J. Zemella

  FLASH2 is a newly build second beamline at FLASH, a soft X-ray FEL at DESY, Hamburg. Unlike the existing beamline FLASH1, it is equipped with variable gap undulators. This beamline is currently being commissioned. Both undulator beamlines of FLASH are driven by a common linear accelerator. Fast kickers and a septum are installed at the end of the linac to distribute the electron bunches of every train between FLASH1 and FLASH2. A specific beam optics in the extraction arc with horizontal beam waists in the bending magnets is mandatory in order to mitigate effects from coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). We performed various beam optics measurements to ensure that the conditions for FEL operation at FLASH2 are fulfilled. Here we will show results of measurements.

The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) has been successfully operated for more than 6 years. In order to expand the capability and capacity of the LCLS, LCLS-II has been planned and funded by the Department of Energy. The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory is tasked with building the prototype of the LCLS-II undulator based on the concept of magnetic force dynamic compensation. The control system for the prototype is responsible for four motion and feedback channels with sub-micron-level accuracy, eight load cells that monitor the forces that act on the system in real time, and multiple temperature sensors. A detailed description of the control system and its operation is reported.

The proposed Advanced Photon Source (APS) Upgrade will bring storage-ring beam sizes down to several micrometers and require x-ray beam directional stability in 100 nrad range for undulator power exceeding 16 kW. The next generation x-ray beam position monitors (XBPMs) are designed to meet these requirements. We present first commissioning data on the recently installed grazing-incidence insertion device x-ray beam position monitor (GRID-XBPM) based on Cu K-edge x-ray fluorescence from limiting absorbers of the front end for two inline undulators. It demonstrated a 50-fold improvement for signal-to-background ratio over existing photoemission-based XBPMs. Techniques for calibrating the XBPMs will be discussed. We will also present a new XBPM design based Compton scattering from diamond blades. This XBPM is designed for less powerful undulators such as the APS canted-undulator beamlines where each undulator generates < 10 kW of beam power. We will discuss the thermal design of the blade, the optics design of the detector assembly, and computer simulations of expected response to the x-ray beam. Test data of the prototype may be presented if available.

  LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short, intense, coherent Free Electron Laser (FEL) pulses in the 40-4 nm spectral range. It comprises a 400 MeV superconducting Linear Accelerator for high repetition rate operation (10 kHz), multi-FEL lines and adapted for studies of advanced FEL schemes, a 0.4 - 1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA) for its qualification by a FEL application, a single undulator line enabling advanced seeding and pilot user applications. Different studies such as on two color FEL and R&D programs have been launched. A test experiment for the demonstration of 180 MeV LWFA based FEL amplification at 200 nm is under preparation in collaboration with the Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée, thanks to a proper electron beam manipulation. Specific hardware is also under development such as a cryo-ready 3 m long undulator of 15 mm period.

  The 2.75 GeV synchrotron light source SOLEIL (France) delivers photons to 27 beamlines and 2 new ones are under construction. The commissioning of the Femtoslicing operation mode involving two beamlines is in progress. The uniform filling pattern is now available to users with a 500 mA stored beam current. The operation of the two canted and long beamlines ANATOMIX and Nanoscopium both using in-vacuum insertion devices (IDs) as a photon source has been raising challenges still under investigation. Upgrades of crucial subsystem equipment like magnet power supplies, storage ring RF input power couplers, and solid state amplifiers are continuing. New user requests for beam stability are under upgrade consideration. Other projects for the storage ring are ongoing such as the design and construction of new insertion devices, new multipole injection kicker, localised small and round photon beam production, as well as R&D on 500 MHz solid-state amplifiers. In parallel first studies for a future upgrade of the machine have been progressing.

  At BESSY II a canted double undulator system for the Energy Materials In-situ Laboratory EMIL is under construction. The energy regime is covered with two undulators, an APPLE II undulator for the soft and a cryogenic permanent magnet undulator CPMU17 for the hard photons. The layout and the performance of the undulators are discussed in detail. The minimum of the vertical betatron function is shifted to the center of the CPMU17. The neighboring quadrupoles and an additional quadrupole between the undulators control the vertical betatron function. Prior to the undulator installation a testing chamber with four movable scrapers has been implemented at the CPMU17 location. Utilizing the scrapers the new asymmetric lattice optics is tested and evaulated.

At DELTA, a 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source operated by the TU Dortmund University, a source for coherent and ultrashort vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) and terahertz (THz) pulses is now in operation. The VUV source is based on a laser-induced energy modulation and coherent harmonic generation (CHG). A subsequently developing dip in the longitudinal electron distribution gives rise to coherent THz radiation. Recent results regarding the optimization of the laser-electron interaction and characterization of the CHG pulses are presented.

TUPWA038 Optics Compensation for Variable-gap Undulator Systems at FLASH optics, quadrupole, FEL, electron 1499

  Variable-gap undulator systems are widely used in storage rings and linear accelerators to generate soft- and hard x-ray radiation for the photon science community. For cases where the effect of undulator focusing significantly changes the electron beam optics, a compensation is needed in order to keep the optics constant in other parts of the accelerator. Since 2010, the free-electron laser (FEL) facility FLASH is equipped with two undulator sections along the same electron beamline. The first undulator is a variable-gap system used for seeding experiments, the second undulator is a fixed-gap system which serves the user facility with FEL radiation. Varying the gap in the first undulator will change the beam optics such that the FEL process in the second undulator is dramatically disturbed. For the correction of the beam optics an analytical model is used to generate feed forward tables which allows to make part of the beamline indiscernible for the subsequent sections. The method makes use of the implicit function theorem and can be used for any perturbation of the beam optics. Here, we present the method and its implementation as well as measurements performed at FLASH.

TUPWA039 Transverse Gradient Undulator-Based High-Gain-FELs - a Parameter Study laser, electron, FEL, resonance 1502

  Transverse gradient undulators (TGU) have recently been discussed as sources for High Gain Free Electron Lasers (FEL) driven by electron beams with an elevated energy spread as for example generated in storage rings or wakefield accelerators. In this contribution we present the results of a parameter study based on the one-dimensional TGU-FEL theory making realistic assumptions on the key parameters achievable for the transverse gradient undulator. We show for which parameter areas LWFA-driven TGU-FELs are virtually technically feasible today and which technical improvements would be required to employ the concept for a laboratory-scale X-Ray FEL.

TUPWA053 Influence of a Non-uniform Longitudinal Heating on High Brightness Electron Beams for FEL electron, laser, FEL, linac 1535

  Laser-heater systems are essential tools to control and optimize high-gain free electron lasers (FELs), working in the x-ray wavelength range. Indeed, these systems induce a controllable heating of the energy spread of the electron bunch. The heating allows in turn to suppress longitudinal microbunching instabilities limiting the FEL performance. In this communication, we show that a long-wavelength energy modulation of the electron beam induced by the laser heater can persist until the beam entrance in the undulators, affecting the FEL emission process. This non-uniform longitudinal heating can be exploited to investigate the electron-beam microbunching in the linac, as well as to control the FEL spectral properties. Here, we present experimental, analytical and numerical studies carried out at FERMI.

The phenomenon of higher harmonic radiation from a helical undulator carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM)* attracts a great deal of attention because this novel property may be used as a new probe for synchrotron radiation science** that would be performed in a diffraction limited light source facility such as the APS-II. Although a diffraction limited x-ray source does not yet exist, the 750 MeV UVSOR-III is already a diffraction limited light source in the UV region. In this ring, a tandem-aligned double-APPLE undulator system similar to that in BESSY-II*** is installed for FEL and coherent light source experiments. Using this set-up, we observed spiral interference patterns between two different harmonic radiations with a scanning fiber multi-channel spectrometer and a CCD camera placed at the end of BL1U Beamline. By these measurements, various interference patterns such as single, double, and triple spirals were observed which concur with the theoretical prediction for every mode in the right or left circular polarization. The rotation of an interference pattern by rotating a polarizer was also observed.

  A 750 MeV low energy synchrotron light source, UVSOR, has been operational since 1983. About ten years after the first major upgrade in 2003, the second major upgrade was carried out in 2012, in which all the bending magnets were replaced with combined function ones and a new in-vacuum undulator was installed in the last straight section reserved for undulators. After this upgrade, the light source, UVSOR-III, has been operational with small emittance of 17 nm-rad, with six undulators, and fully with the top-up injection at 300mA. Adding to the present status of the accelerator, most recent progresses in the pulsed sextupole magnet for the beam injection and in the coherent light source development station will be presented.

TUPJE008 Relocation and Improvement Status of the SCSS Test Accelerator to Provide Dual FEL Drivers at SACLA acceleration, linac, electron, laser 1626

  To increase user experiment chances at SACLA, Equipping a new beamline and an additional linac as a further FEL driver is effective. For this reason, the SCSS test accelerator as the prototype of SACLA is reused and improved, because of terminating its role. SCSS with an electron beam energy of 250 MeV generated an extreme ultraviolet laser with 50-60 nm. We relocated SCSS into the SACLA undulator hall and improved its performance. Three newly designed C-band accelerator-units for the relocated SCSS accelerator with an acceleration gradient of 47 MeV/m at maximum boost an electron beam energy of up to 420 MeV. By FEL simulation, the EUV-FEL with 30-40 nm and 100 uJ are expected in conditions of the electron energy and 2 modified undulators with 5 m long each. As a further capability, the relocated SCSS accelerator has space to add 9 C-band accelerator units and 2 undulators and the units increase a beam energy of up to 1.4 GeV, as which can generate a soft X-ray FEL. The relocation of the accelerator was finished in the summer of 2014 and its RF conditioning was now started. This paper describes the relocation and improvement status of the modified SCSS accelerator.

  In order to increase its brightness and improve the performance, the Hefei Light Source (HLS) was completely renovated from 2010 to the end of 2014. The magnet lattice of the new storage ring consists of four double bend achromatic (DBA) cells. There are eight straight sections which can be used to install up to 6 insertion devices (IDs). Currently, five insertion devices have been installed in the storage ring. It is known that the dynamics of the electron beam motion in the storage ring would be influenced by the insertion device, depending on its physical properties. In order to keep high performance operation of the storage ring and make the insertion device transparent to the rest of the storage ring, a complex compensation scheme is developed to match the beta functions at both ends of a ID and perform transverse tune compensation. This scheme has been integrated into the EPICS based control system of the HLS-II. The result indicates that the scheme is very effective to compensate the impact of the insertion devices.

  A new type of undulator, Knot-APPLE undulator, is proposed for SSRF as a solution to reduce the heat load of on-axis high harmonics without losing its capability of tuning synchrotron polarization. It will be applied for SSRF Photoemission Spectroscopy beamline (PES-beamline) in the near future. Impact of the undulator on the beam dynamics has been studied based on the 3D magnetic field model and kick map analysis. Linear optics can be retained by quadrupole compensation within two adjacent cells. Dynamical aperture (DA) shrinkage has been found in the tracking and optimized with sextupoles. An active correction scheme of current strips is studied to compensate the kick maps, and both the linear and nonlinear effects are suppressed.

  Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL) is developing a 0.1 nm SASE based FEL based on 10 GeV S-band linear accelerator named PAL-XFEL. At the first stage, PAL-XFEL needs two undulator lines for photon source. The hard X-ray undulator line requires 18 units of 5 m long hybrid-type conventional planar undulator and soft X-ray line requires 6 units of 5 m long hybrid type planar undulator with additional few EPUs for final polarization control. PAL is developing undulator magnetic structure based on EU-XFEL concepts. The key parameters are min pole gap of 8.3 mm, with period length 26 mm (HXU), 35 mm (SXU), and 5.0 m magnetic length. . In this report, the prototyping, and the development of pole tuning procedure, the impact of the background field error, and the effects of the girder bending on the optical phase error will be presented.

  Polarization of soft X-ray photon can be controlled with combination between planar undulators and helical ones. We need to give a reverse tapering to the planar undulators to make microbunching in the electron beam while the linearly polarized radiation power is depressed. In this case, however, resonance wavelengths in each planar undulator are different each other. Therefore, proper initial undulator parameter and tapering strength parameter have to be chosen to obtain high power polarized photon beam with fixed wavelength. In this research, method for deciding suitable reverse tapering is presented using simulation results of PAL-XFEL soft X-ray case with 10 GeV electron beam energy.

  The baseline designs for the ILC and CLIC require the production of an intense flux of gamma rays in their positron sources. In the case of CLIC the gamma rays are produced by a Compton backscattering source, but in this paper we concentrate on undulator-based sources as proposed for the ILC. We present the development of a simulation to generate a magnetic field map based on a Fourier analysis of any measured field map. We have used a field map measured from the ILC helical undulator prototype to calculate the typical distribution of field errors, and used them in our calculations to produce simulated field maps. We show that a loss of gamma ray intensity of ~ 8% could be expected, compared to the ideal case. This leads to a similar drop in positron production which can be compensated for by increasing the undulator length.

We report on the calibration and use of fast fiber-optic (FO) beam loss monitors (BLMs) in the Advanced Photon Source storage ring (SR). A superconducting undulator prototype (SCU0) has been operating in SR Sector 6 since the beginning of CY2013, and another undulator SCU1 (a 1.1-m length undulator that is three times the length of SCU0) is scheduled for installation in Sector 1 in 2015. The SCU0 main coil often quenches during beam dumps. MARS simulations have shown that relatively small beam loss (<1 nC) can lead to temperature excursions sufficient to cause quenching when the SCU0 windings are near critical current. To characterize local beam losses, high-purity fused-silica FO cables were installed in Sector 6 next to the SCU0 cryostat and in Sector 1 where SCU1 will be installed. These BLMs aid in the search for operating modes that protect the SCU structures from beam-loss-induced quenching. In this paper, we describe the BLM calibration process that included deliberate beam dumps at locations of BLMs. We also compare beam dump events where SCU0 did and did not quench.

TUPJE073 Results of the Magnetic Tuning of 2.8 m Long Vertically Polarizing Undulator with the Dynamic Compensation of Magnetic Forces FEL, radiation, electron, free-electron-laser 1809
 
  • I. Vasserman
    ANL, Argonne, Ilinois, USA
 
  A novel undulator prototype with a horizontal magnetic field and dynamic compensation of magnetic forces has been recently developed at the APS as a part of the LCLS-II R&D program. This undulator should meet stringent requirements for any LCLS-II insertion device. These requirements include limits on the field integrals and phase errors for all operational gaps, and the reproducibility and accuracy of the gap settings. Extensive mechanical testing has resulted in a performance that meets the requirements on the undulator gap setting. The magnetic tuning has been accomplished by applying a set of magnetic shims. As a result, the satisfactory performance of the undulator prototype has been demonstrated.

The microbunching instability has long been recognized as a potential limiting factor to the performance of X-ray FELs. It is of particular relevance in LCLS-II due, in part, to a layout that includes a long bypass beamline between the Linac and the undulators. Here we focus on two aspects of the instability that highlight the importance of 3D effects.

  The performance of a Free Electron Laser (FELs) depends in part on the integrity of the magnetic field in the undulator. The magnetic field on the axis of the undulator is transverse and sinusoidally varying due to the periodic sequence of dipoles. The ideal trajectory of a relativistic electron bunch, inserted along the axis, is sinusoidal in the plane of oscillation. Phase errors are produced when the path of the electron is not the ideal sinusoidal trajectory, due to imperfections in the magnetic field. The result of such phase errors is a reduction of laser gain impacting overall FEL performance. A pulsed-wire method can be used to determine the profile of the magnetic field. This is achieved by sending a square current pulse through the wire, which will induce an interaction with the magnetic field. Measurement of the displacement in the wire over time using a motion detector yields the first or second integrals of the magnetic field. Dispersion in the wire can be corrected using algorithms resulting in higher accuracy. Once the fields are known, magnetic shims are placed where any corrections are needed.

  Through the use of simulation tools and theoretical analysis techniques, the Free Electron Laser process is investigated for a wiggler that is generated by an ultrafast laser system. The development and availability of such systems allows for novel FEL designs due to the high peak power of such lasers. Even though such high powers are possible, difficulties arise due to inhomogeneity in the laser pulse. This project looks at simulation results for a system with a realistic laser pulse profile and looks in to the pulse-shape effects on various system parameters. Models are presented for the expected behavior with important parameters noted, as well as highlighting possible difficulties that might occur experimentally. While head-on interaction has been proven experimentally for the short wavelength regime *, we believe that using a co-propagating laser can provide benefits that have currently been untested. This experimental setup is outlined in Lawler, J et al **, and we are currently simulating how the use of an ultrashort laser pulse as an electromagnetic wiggler will affect characteristics of the output radiation.

In order to improve free electron laser technology for the future LCLSII at SLAC, a new strategy for creating radiation with increased temporal coherence is under development. The improved Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (iSASE) FEL utilizes phase shifters which allow for the spontaneously emitted radiation to interact with and stimulate more electrons to radiate coherently. Five phase shifters were simulated, with 34 normal-conducting undulators and focusing-defocusing quadrupoles as an LCLSII FEL lattice using the FEL software Genesis 1.3. Two general schemes, one providing a total phase shift of arbitrary distribution, the other providing a sequential or distributed phase shift, were simulated and optimized using a simulated annealing algorithm. The results suggest that the phase shifters must provide a total shift comparable to the bunch length, and the shifts must be distributed with one large shift, followed by smaller shifts.

The Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes (MaRIE) facility is intended to probe and control the time-dependent properties of materials under extreme conditions. At its core, the “MaRIE 1.0” X-FEL is being designed to deliver pulse trains of ~1010 42 keV photons, with a minimum bunch spacing of 2.4 ns, enabling time-dependent studies particularly of mesoscale phenomena. The X-FEL accelerator is also intended to deliver a series of 2 nC electron bunches to enable electron radiography concurrently with the X-ray pulse train, so as to provide multi-probe capability to MaRIE. In 2014, the reference design for the MaRIE X-FEL 12 GeV driver linac was changed from an S-band normal-conducting to an L-band superconducting linac to accommodate pulse trains up to 100 μs in duration. This paper does not present a complete solution for the MaRIE linac design; rather it describes our current reference design, achieved parameters, areas of concern and paths towards mitigation of identified issues.

We show that a free-electron laser oscillator generating X-ray pulses with hard X-ray wavelengths of order 0.1 nm is feasible using the presently proposed FEL-quality electron beam within the space of existing LCLS-II infrastructure when combined with a low-loss X-ray crystal cavity. In an oscillator configuration driven by the 4 GeV energy electron beam lasing at the fifth harmonic, output x-ray bandwidths as small as a few meV are possible. The delivered average spectral flux is at least two orders of magnitude greater than present synchrotron-based sources with highly stable, coherent pulses of duration 1 ps or less for applications in Mössbauer spectroscopy and inelastic x-ray scattering.

A short pulse laser can be used as an optical undulator to achieve a high-gain and high-brightness X-ray free electron laser (FEL) [1]. To extend the interaction duration of electron and laser field, the electron and the laser will propagate toward each other with an small angle. In addition, to maintain the FEL lasing resonant condition, the laser pulse shape need be flattened and the pulse front will be titled. Due to the short pulse duration, the laser pulse has a broad bandwidth. In this paper, we will first describe the method of generalized Gaussian beam propagation using ray matrix. By applying the Gaussian beam ray matrix, we can study the dispersive property after the pulse front of the short laser is tilted. The results of the optics design for the proposal of SLAC Compton scattering FEL are shown as an example in this paper.

  The R&D of the baseline positron source target for ILC is still ongoing after TDR due to the uncertainty of rotating vacuum seal and water cooling system of the fast spinning target wheel. Different institutes around the globe have proposed different approaches to tackle this issue. A spinning target wheel system with sliding contact cooling has been proposed by ANL. The proposed system eliminated the needs of rotating vacuum seal by using magnet bearings and vacuum compatible motor driven solid spinning wheel target. The energy deposited from positron production process is taken away via sliding cooling pads sliding against the spinning wheel. Details about this new target system are presented in this paper.

  Kyma was established in 2007 as a spin-off company of Elettra-Sincrotrone Trieste, to design, realize and install all the 18 undulators of FERMI, the seeded FEL, at the time being built at the Elettra lab in Trieste, Italy. For Kyma establishment, Elettra-SincrotroneTrieste formally transferred to the new company know-how and references relevant to Insertion Devices and, by a Knowledge Transfer monetarily evaluated, could participate to Kyma capital owning the 51% of the shares. In few years, Kyma became a well-known organization in the light source community. After more than forty Insertion Devices and sixty phase shifters designed and manufactured, Kyma is now recognized as a qualified partner for design and development of this kind of equipment. Some examples of Kyma industrial achievements in developing skills, knowledge, technologies methods of manufacturing transferred by Universities and Institution, will be presented. An example out of many: the joint effort between Kyma and Cornell University right now leading to the development of a new perspective into the ID world, i.e. the CHESS Compact Undulators (CCU).

  One direction towards compact Free Electron Lasers is to replace the conventional linac by a laser plasma driven beam, provided proper electron beam manipulation to handle the value of the energy spread and of the divergence is done. Applying seeding techniques enables also to reduce the required undulator length. The rapidly developing LWFA are already able to generate synchrotron radiation. With an electron divergence of typically 1 mrad and an energy spread of the order of 1 %, an adequate beam manipulation through the transport to the undulator is needed for FEL amplification. A test experiment for the demonstration of FEL amplification with a LWFA is under preparation in the frame of the COXINEL ERC contract. A specific design of electron beam transfer line following different steps with strong focusing variable strength permanent magnet quadrupoles, an energy de-mixing chicane with conventional dipoles and second set of quadrupoles for further dedicated focusing in the undulator has been investigated. Beam transfer simulations and expected FEL power in the XUV will be presented.

Recent experimental demonstrations of dielectric laser-driven accelerator structures offer a path to the miniaturisation of accelerators. In order to accelerate particles to higher energies using a staged sequence of accelerating structures, integrating compatible micrometre-scale transverse deflecting structures into these accelerators is necessary. Using simulations, the present work outlines the design and optimisation of a fused-silica laser-driven grating deflecting structure for relativistic electron beams. Implications for device fabrication and experiments are outlined.

  Superconducting insertion devices (IDs) can reach, for the same gap and period length a higher field strength compared to permanent magnet IDs. Their performance depends strongly on the magnetic field quality. While the magnetic measurements technology of permanent magnet based IDs made significant progress during the last years, for superconducting IDs similar major developments are necessary. As a part of our R&D program for superconducting insertion devices at the ANKA synchrotron light source a measurement setup for conduction cooled superconducting coils with a maximum length of 2 m was built and commissioned. In the CASPER II (Characterization Setup for Phase Error Reduction) facility the magnet coils can be trained and tested for maximum current and field quality, including the local field distribution as well as the first and second field integrals. In this paper we shortly describe the CASPER II setup and focus on the capability of this measurement device by presenting the results of a superconducting undulator mockup with a period length of 20 mm.
