  Bi-Alkali photocathodes have been widely used in photo-multiplier tubes and night vision equipment. They have high quantum efficiency (QE) and low thermal emittance in the visible light region, and are of crucial importance to Free Electron Laser (FEL) based light sources. The traditional photocathode production process has not been well defined and performance of cathodes can vary wildly when produced under the same conditions. Advanced tools for characterization of cathode performance during and after fabrication are critical to the understanding of the growth process. We have developed a new deposition and diagnostics system for bi-alkali photocathode production that allows for consistent, repeatable cathode fabrication. This system features active temperature control, a high resolution Ultraviolet monochromator to provide real-time in-situ spectral measurements, and a transverse momentum measuring system (Momentatron) for post fabrication evaluation.

TUPE36 Ground Vibration Monitoring for SXFEL Construction at SSRF 242

Shanghai X-ray Free Electron Laser test facility (SXFEL) began construction on Dec.30 2014. It is quite important to monitor the ground vibration influenced by the construction at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), because the SXFEL is just in the north of SSRF and the nearest distance is only 20m. In this paper, the results of ground vibration measurement during the construction period at SSRF experimental hall, tunnel and experimental room near the SXFEL site are shown. Vibrations at different hours, frequency bands and directions are discussed to provide more detailed information on the influence of SXFEL construction to SSRF.

TUPE37
The European XFEL Photon Beam Transport System

  European XFEL, the fourth generation Free-Electron-Laser facility in Hamburg (Germany), is going to start user operation in early 2017. In full operation the novel facility will produce at MHz repetition rate coherent femtosecond pulses with unprecedented brilliance in the energy range from 250 eV to 25 keV. The facility comprises of a linear accelerator and three beam-lines: SASE1 and SASE2 that operate in the hard X-ray regime and SASE3 that covers the soft X-ray range up to 3 keV. The installation of the windowless 800-meter long ultra-high vacuum beam transport system of the SASE1 beam-line is almost completed and the assembly of the SASE3 beam-line is ongoing. Challenges of the installation are the implementation of a particle-free assembly of the vacuum system around x-ray mirrors and avoiding particle transport through the beam pipe. The control and interlock system is a custom build Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to detect a fault vacuum condition and to prevent damage to the beam-line hardware. The poster will report about the installation status and provides an overview of the control system as well as the interlock concepts.

  Free electron laser (FEL) technology is the next focus at Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP). Shanghai Deep Ultraviolet Free-Electron Laser (SDUV-FEL), a test facility for new FEL principles, was operated for 5 years and got a series of important results. Dalian Coherent Light Source (DCLS), a 50~150nm wavelength FEL user facility based on a 300MeV linac located at Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, started beam commissioning in August. Shanghai X-ray Free-Electron Laser (SXFEL), a soft X-ray FEL test facility based on an 840MeV linac, will be installed in this month and the commissioning is scheduled at the beginning of 2017. The Progress of the FEL projects and the mechanical engineering in the design and construction are presented.

COXINEL (COherent Xray source INferred from Electrons accelerated by Laser) is a European Research Council (ERC) advance grant aims at demonstrating Free Electron Laser amplification at 200 nm with 180 MeV electrons generated by laser plasma acceleration. A special electron beam transfer line with adequate diagnostics has been designed for this project. Strong-focusing variable-field permanent magnet quadrupoles, energy de-mixing chicane and a set of conventional quadrupoles condition the electron beam before its entrance to an In-Vacuum U20 undulator. This presentation describes some of the features incorporated into the design of the magnets, girders, vacuum vessels and diagnostic equipment for this experimental machine. Progress on the equipment preparation and installation is presented as well.
