Penetration of the LCLS Injector Shield Wall at Sector 20
Abstract
Penetrations through the LCLS injector shield wall are needed for the alignment of the accelerator, a diagnostic laser beam and utilities, and are shown in figure 1. The 1-inch diameter LCLS injector beam tube is blocked by the PPS stopper when the injector side of the wall is occupied. The two 3-inch diameter penetrations above and to the left of the beam tube are used by Precision Alignment and will be open only during installation of the injector beamline. Additional 3-inch diameter penetrations are for laser beams which will be used for electron beam diagnostics. These will not be plugged when the injector occupied. Other penetrations for the RF waveguide and other utilities are approximately 13-inch from the floor and as such are far from the line-of-sight of any radiation sources. The waveguide and utility penetrations pass only through the thicker wall as shown in the figure. The principal issue is with the two laser penetrations, since these will be open when the linac is operating and people are in the LCLS injector area. A principal concern is radiation streaming through the penetrations due to direct line-of sight of the PEP-2 lines. To answer this, fans of rays were tracedmore »

A principal concern is radiation streaming through the penetrations due to direct line-of sight of the PEP-2 lines. To answer this, fans of rays were traced through the 3-inch diameter laser penetrations as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Figure 2 gives the top view of the shield walls, the main linac and PEP-2 lines, and the ray-fans. The fans appear to originate between the walls since their angular envelope is defined by the greatest angle possible when rays are just on the 3-inch diameter at the inner most and outermost wall surfaces. The crossovers of all possible rays lie half way between these two surfaces. As the end-on view of Figure 3 clearly shows, there is no direct line-of-sight through the laser penetrations of the PEP-2 or linac beamlines.},

We report on the design of the rf photoinjector of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The rf photoinjector is required to produce a single 150 MeV bunch of {approximately}1 nC and {approximately}100 A peak current at a repetition rate of 120 Hz with a normalized rms transverse emittance of {approximately}1 {pi} mm-mrad. The design employs a 1.6-cell S-band rf gun with an optical spot size at the cathode of a radius of {approximately}1 mm and a pulse duration with an rms sigma of {approximately}3 ps. The peak rf field at the cathode is 150 MV/m with extraction 57 {degree}more »

HOMDYN study for the LCLS RF photo-injector
The authors report the results of a recent beam dynamics study, motivated by the need to redesign the LCLS photoinjector, that led to the discovery of a new effective working point for a split RF photoinjector. The HOMDYN code, the main simulation tool adopted in this work, is described together with its recent improvements. The new working point and its LCLS application is discussed. Validation tests of the HOMDYN model and low emittance predictions, 0.3 mm-mrad for a 1 nC flat top bunch, are performed with respect to the multi-particle tracking codes ITACA and PARMELA. -
RF Design for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Injector
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will be the world's first x-ray free electron laser, and the successful operation of this very short-wavelength FEL will require excellent beam quality from its electron source. Therefore a critical component is the RF photocathode injector. This paper describes the design issues of the LCLS RF gun and accelerator structures. The injector consists of a 1.6 cell s-band gun followed by two 3-meter SLAC sections. The gun and the first RF section will have dual RF feeds both to eliminate transverse RF kicks and to reduce the pulsed heating of the coupling ports. Inmore » -
UV Laser Pulse Temporal Profile Requirements for the LCLS Injector - Part I - Fourier Transform Limit for a Temporal Zero Slope Flattop
The temporal profile of the uv drive laser pulse for the LCLS injector is specified by the duration, the rise/fall time, and the maximum rms amplitude (for all frequencies) of residual modulation in the plateau region. The bandwidth of the uv laser system should accommodate pulses with a rise/fall time as low as 0.7 ps and an rms residual amplitude modulation (on the plateau) below 0.5% in the absence of a laser heater. Computations including the laser heater [3] relax this requirement to the 5% level. Numerical analyses of Fourier transform limited uv pulses show that the extent of frequencymore » -
Pressure Model for the Vacuum System for the Electron Gun and Injector for LCLS Final Design Report
The vacuum system of the injector for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) has been analyzed and configured by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's New Technologies Engineering Division (NTED) as requested by the SLAC/LCLS program. The vacuum system layout and detailed analyses for the injector are presented in this final design report. The vacuum system was analyzed and optimized using a coupled gas load balance model of sub-volumes of the components to be evacuated.
