Ultra-fast transverse beam orbit control in LCLS copper linac. Part I

We report current and future experiments at LCLS require x-ray pulse trains of variable time separation on the nanosecond scale. For instance, the cavity-based XFEL (CBXFEL) will use up to 4 pulses separated by 218.5 ns, the X-ray Laser Oscillator (XLO) will use 15 to 25 ns spaced pulses, and the Matter under Extreme Conditions (MEC) experiments use pulse trains separated by 5 nanoseconds or less. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultra-fast e-beam trajectory control method based on transverse electro-magnetic (TEM) striplines and state-of-the-art power sources, to enhance LCLS operations in these regimes.

Permanent magnets for the return loop of the Cornell-Brookhaven energy recovery linac test accelerator

214 neodymium permanent magnets have been manufactured for the return loop of the CBETA multi-turn ERL at Cornell University. There are 5 types of quadrupole and combined-function gradient magnets using a variant of the circular Halbach design. These are made out of NdFeB material and glued into an aluminium housing with water channels for temperature stabilisation. The NdFeB wedges and magnet construction were done by outside companies, while the final “tuning” using inserts containing 64 iron rods per magnet was done at BNL over a period of about 6 months. Average relative field errors of 2.2×10 -4 were achieved on the beam region. The magnet strengths vary by type but are of order 10 T/m for quadrupole component and up to 0.3 T for the dipole. This paper reports on the field quality and timeline achieved in this production process
