Title: The magnetic and diagnostic systems for the Advanced Photon Source self-amplified spontaneously emitting FEL.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10799

A self-amplified spontaneously emitting (SASE) free-electron laser (FEL) for the visible-to-ultraviolet spectral range is under construction at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory. The amplifier part of the FEL consists of twelve identical 2.7-meter-long sections. Each section includes a 2.4-meter-long, 33-mm-period hybrid undulator, a quadruple lens, and a set of electron beam and radiation diagnostics equipment. The undulatory will operate at a fixed magnetic gap (approx. 9.3 mm) with K=3.1. The electron beam position will be monitored using capacitive beam position monitors, YAG scintillators with imaging optics, and secondary emission detectors. The spatial distribution of the photon beam will be monitored by position sensitive detectors equipped with narrow-band filters. A high-resolution spectrograph will be used to observe the spectral distribution of the FEL radiation.
