MOPPH061 | The Test Facility for Harmonic Generation at the MAX-lab Injector Linac | 182 |

||
The MAX-lab injector linac system will be used in a test set-up for developing and testing techniques important for the designs of the BESSY FEL and the MAX IV FEL proposals. The first goal is using a 400 MeV electron beam to generate third harmonic photons at 90 nm from a 266 nm seed laser. The installations at MAX-lab are being improved by a new photo cathode RF gun (to improve emittance and peak current), an optical klystron (2 undulators + chicane, supplied by BESSY) and a combined synchronised laser system for both the RF-gun and the seeding system. The injector optics and transport system are also being retuned to allow the necessary electron beam compression. The project is a part of the EUROFEL collaboration. |
