3 Meeting on X-band Linac based FEL facility January 2013, Ankara, Turkey A brief history of the TAC SASE FEL proposal The TAC SASE FEL facility was first proposed in 2000 *. It was initially planned that, the electron linac of the e - e + collider may asynchronously be operated to drive the SASE undulators. * Çiftçi, A. K. et al.

Meeting on X-band Linac based FEL facility January 2013, Ankara, Turkey 5 Modifications on TAC 1 GeV electron linac Due to considerably high power consumption of the Collider’s 1 GeV electron linac, it was modified 1,2,3 to an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL). 1 Ketenoğlu, B. et al.

Meeting on X-band Linac based FEL facility January 2013, Ankara, Turkey 6 Disentanglement of TAC SASE FEL and particle factory proposals According to the design studies carried out in the past 1, it was shown that the electron beam requirements of SASE operation (i.e. time structure, emittance, beam current, linac power etc.), could not be matched with the Collider’s. 1 Yiğit, Ş. PhD thesis, General design of SASE and oscillator free electron lasers within the scope of TAC project, Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Ankara University, (2007). 2 First and second reports of ISAC meetings for the TAC project (2009, 2010). Considering International Scientific Advisory Committee’s (ISAC) recommendations 2, particle factory and SASE FEL proposals of TAC were disentangled from each other.

Meeting on X-band Linac based FEL facility January 2013, Ankara, Turkey 7 ISAC’s advices for SASE undulator options A view of the in-vacuum undulator of ALS, E. O. Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. ISAC advices in-vacuum configurations, due to: In-vacuum feature allows the magnet jaws to be closed to produce a narrower gap around the electron beam, thus increasing the magnetic field felt by the beam. The result is, high-brightness undulator at shorter X-ray wavelengths than possible with conventional undulators with the magnet rows outside the vacuum chamber.

24 Conclusion  It is shown that, soft X-rays (i.e. few nanometers) can be achieved via diverse in-vacuum configurations, driven by a 1 GeV electron linac.  Decision on deticated TAC-SASE FEL proposal give oppurtunity to consider few GeV electron beam energies (up to 5-6 GeV) to achieve shorter wavelengths.  An X-band 5-6 GeV linac based SASE FEL facility may be considered in this frame.  A Conceptual and technical design reports can be prepared by TAC-CLIC collaboration in next 3-4 years depending on the support of government.
