34. Ultra-stable Sync System Requirements Most critical issues for sync system: Jitter (RMS, 10Hz..10MHz) between two clients and long term drift (hours) Typical FEL client is using ref. (RF, opt.) directly or for locking a PLL Gun laser: ≈30fs expected (goal: towards 10fs), measure with BAM (beam arrival time monitor) Most critical RF stations: goal is “0.02° phase jitter at 3GHz“ for SwissFEL RF system contributes >10fs (far out) intrinsic jitter, <5fs (diff. mode) req. from sync Experiment (pump-probe) lasers: <10fs (optical sync combined w. BAM for sorting of jittery experimental data) Seeding laser: <10fs (optical sync combined w. BAM for drift FB) E/O sampling: <50fs BAM (opt. sync only): approx. 6fs timing resolution/stability (down to 10pC) “Differential mode jitter“ betw. stations is critical, “common mode jitter“ (all clients jittering w. ref.) is less critical. Actual injector drift requirement: some 100fs over hours, will be tightened in the future probably down to <10fs. 10fs is equivalent to 3um in air! Courtesy Stefan Hunziker

35. Hybrid Layout: High Flexibility, Reasonable Cost FEL phase reference: generic layout Courtesy Stefan Hunziker

36. Challenges for FELs ( as opposed to linear colliders?) Synchronization with electrooptical methods Photon diagnostics (partially real time, suitable for feedback and stabilization) Push for real time 6D phase space diagnostics for FB Push for high rep rate NC RF linacs New RF structures (see next part...)

37. A CERN/PSI/ST collaboration Motivation for CLIC: Another data point in high gradient test program Validation of design and fabrication procedures A true long term test in another accelerator facility Motivation for the FEL projects: An X band structure to compensate long. phase space nonlinearities High gradient/power requirements of CLIC = a design for safe operation at the more relaxed parameters of the PSI X-FEL RF design (mostly) by PSI, engineering design, fabrication, assembly & LL RF test at CERN, mechanical support & other parts by FERMI …. Possibly create a general purpose structure for other applications … Multi purpose X band structure

38. Special considerations for FEL Operating structure at relatively low beam energies (PSI injector: 250 MeV) High sensitivity to transverse wakefields! Strategy: –Passive: Try to have open structure while maintaining good efficiency and breakdown resilience –Active: Wake field monitors See offsets before they show up as emittance dilution Possibly measure higher order/internal misalignments (tilts, bends ….)

39. A priori specifications Beam voltage 30 MeV at a max. power of 45 MW Mechanical length <1017 mm Iris diameter > 9 mm Wake field monitors Operating temperature 40 deg. C Constant gradient design, no HOM damping Fill time < 1 usec Cooling assuming 1 usec/100 Hz RF pulse

40. The strategy Use 5π/6 phase advance: –Longer cells: smaller transverse wake –Intrinsically lower group velocity: Good gradient even for open design with large iris –Needs better mechanical precision Long constant gradient design (efficiency!) No HOM damping Wake field monitors to insure optimum structure alignment Do a castrated NLC type H75 without damping manifolds!

41. NLC type H75 Well optimized design (iris aperture, thickness and ellipticity varying along structure) Original design gives 65 MV/m for 80 MW input power Sucessfully tested up to 100 MV/m with SLAC mode launcher (below) r z r z |E| |B|

42. Constant gradient design 72 cells, active length 750 mm Relatively open structure: mean aperture 9.1 mm Average gradient 40 MV/m (30 MeV voltage) with 29 MW input power Group velocity variation: 1.6-3.7% Fill time: 100 nsec Average Q: 7150

43. HOM coupler a la NLC DDS TE type coupling minimizes spurious signals from fundamental mode and longitudinal wakes Need only small coupling (Qext<1000) for sufficient signal Minor loss in fundamental per- formance: 10% in Q, <2% in R/Q Output wave guides with coaxial transition connecting to measurement electronics Two monitors replacing cells 36 and 63 for up- and downstream signals Electric short on one side Axial signal output wave guides

44. Output signal spectra

45. Signal envelopes of wake monitors Signal at time t is correlated with frequency – is correlated with cell number….. Can we learn something about internal misalignments?
