Photon Beamlines and Diagnostics at LCLS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The LCLS hard x-ray Free Electron Laser at SLAC reported first lasing in April of 2009. Since then two successful user runs have been completed at the two soft x-ray stations. The first hard x-ray station has started commissioning in July of 2010. Beam diagnostics play an essential role for tuning the machine and delivering the requested beam properties to the users. An overview of the LCLS photon diagnostics will be presented including some selected commissioning results. Plans for future improvements and upgrades will be briefly discussed.

Laser power meters as an X-ray power diagnostic for LCLS-II
For the LCLS-II X-ray instruments, laser power meters are being developed as compact X-ray power diagnostics to operate at soft and tender X-ray photon energies. These diagnostics can be installed at various locations along an X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) beamline in order to monitor the transmission of X-ray optics along the beam path. In addition, the power meters will be used to determine...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Be Window for the Aps Diagnostics Undulator Beamline
The design of a beryllium (Be) window for use under the extremely high heat load of an undulator beam is one of the challenges for third-generation synchrotron radiation beamlines. A novel design of a Be window is presented for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) diagnostics undulator beamline, whose beam has a peak power density of 150 W/mm2 (7 GeV/100 mA stored beam). The window has a double con...
متن کاملTESLA-FEL 2004-02 The Potential for the Development of the X-Ray Free Electron Laser
X-ray photon beam from a SASE FEL undulator is in principle a single user tool, just like an optical laser. Therefore, the operation and amortization cost cannot be easily spread over many simultaneous experiments. To avoid prohibitive cost for each experiment, a new XFEL laboratory scheme is proposed. The wavelength range 0.1-1.6 nm at fixed electron energy of 15 GeV can be covered by operatin...
متن کاملUndulator K-Parameter Measurements at LCLS
We report our first in-situ measurements of relative undulator segment K-parameters made at the LCLS. The diagnostics, calibration, procedure, and early results are described. Measurement errors and noise are discussed and the outlook for near-term develop presented.
متن کاملImaging , weakly - perturbing diagnostics of an x - ray beam at the LCLS facility ( physics issues )
Several approaches to the imaging of the x-ray beam cross-section in the LCLS facility have been proposed: deflecting a small part of the beam by a thin mirror; partial scattering from a thin, high-density gas jet, partial scattering from a thin solid foil. The general feature of all these diagnostics is that the imaging does not introduce significant perturbations to the beam. A set of design ...
