Funding: Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (11475202, 11405187) and Youth Innovation Promotion Association of Chinese Academy of Sciences (No. 2015009) Resent study [Z. Huang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 204801 (2012)] shows that the transverse-gradient undu-lator (TGU) together with electron beams with constant dispersion can reduce the sensitivity to energy spread for FEL. In this study, we numerically study FEL using TGU with external focusing. In spite of the dispersion varia-tion, through parameter optimization, FEL using TGU with TGU achieves similar radiation to that without ex-ternal focusing. To achieve a high energy exaction effi-ciency, the initial dispersion should be set with a shift from that corresponding to the resonant condition, and a variation of the transverse gradient in different undulator section is preferred. Other approaches, such as tapering and detuning frequency control, are also discussed to further improve the radiation power and are demonstrated with global parametric optimizations base on simulation. |

THPMB027 | Beam Transport Line of the LPA-FEL Facility Based on Transverse Gradient Undulator | 3287 |

Free electron lasers (FELs) based on Laser Plasma Accelerators (LPAs) present a main research direction for achieving next generation compact advanced light sources. There are several major challenges of the LPA beam to generate high-brilliance FEL radiation including the large initial angular divergence and the large energy spread. Based on the LPA facility in SIOM that has successfully obtained quasi-monochromatic beam with the central energy of hundreds of MeV, a specific design of a beam transport line is proposed to realize FEL gain using Transverse Gradient Undulator to compensate the relatively large beam energy spread. This beamline uses a single dipole, several strong focusing quadrupoles and correcting sextupoles to match proper beta functions and linear dispersion from the LPA beam to FEL radiation. The corresponding experimental facility of LPA-FEL in SIOM has been set up and will perform first tests to generate FEL radiation. | ||
