  2. Multi-user soft x-ray FEL facility based on SRF linac (talk by J. Corlett) ~ 250 m ~ 100 m ~ 50 m ~ 350 m 40 MeV 2.4 GeV Bunch compressor Spreader ~ 50 m Energy gain 13 MeV/m

  3. Motivation • Reduce construction and operational costs of a high bunch rep. rate FEL facility: • accelerating gradient > 100 MV/m, • peak current > 1KA, • bunch rep. rate of the order of 1MHz, • electron beam energy of a few GeV

  4. Dielectric Wakefield Accelerator • Simple geometry • Capable to high gradients • Easy dipole mode damping • Tunable • Non expensive Recent impressive results (obtained along development of a Linear Collider): - 1000 MV/m level in the THz domain (UCLA/SLAC group) - 100 MV/m level in the MHz domain (AWA/ANL group)

  10. Key technology: DWA structure design

  11. Thermal load and cooling The structure overheating problem is much less severe in the DWA comparing to S-band Cu linac because of a small amount of energy used to excite the wake fields and a short period of time that the wake field remains inside of the structure. Average power load 50 W/cm2 at a 100 kHz rep. rate mostly dissipates in Cu The pulse temperature rise from the wake field pulse is estimated to be only ~ 20 ºC

  12. Wakefield generation

  13. Beam loading 10 MeV in 10 cm 150 KeV (~1.5%)

  14. Electron bunch is strongly chirped in energy Accelerated current Wakefield

  15. Strongly chirped beams for FEL applications: preliminary results • For short beams (<10 um rms) the energy chirp is approximately linear in time • Accelerated beam is strongly chirped (little FEL gain) • Using the chirp to compress the beam does not seem to be useful for radiation (although it is at the limit of various typical FEL approximations) • Tapering of undulator strength or period can counteract large energy chirp and maintain gain For example, chirping the undulator strength K we have Power evolution of DWA beam + undulator taper Power profile near saturation z/LG = 20 Chirped SASE spectrum near saturation z/LG = 20 Nonlinear regime Linear gain Some applications favors wide bandwidth

  16. Summary • Several DWAs driven by a single SRF linac can be used to serve several FEL undulator lines, each at a 100 kHz rep. rate. • Energy chirped electron bunch coming from DWA will produce a powerful broad band x-ray light. • A proposed facility is energy efficient and may have a relatively low operational cost. • Much more studies are needed to prove the feasibility of DWA and to solicit new ideas.
