Soft X-Ray Self Seeding (SXRSS)


This R&D (LDRD) develops soft x-ray seeding for use at
NGLS in at least 1 of 3 FELs
Must demonstrate e/x-ray spatial & temporal alignment,
final seeded bandwidth (~0.02%), and reliable system
operation at 120 Hz (low power)
Concept will be used by SwissFEL (PSI), PAL-XFEL (Korea),
NGLS (LBNL), and possibly Euro-XFEL (DESY) and others?
NGLS will require a high power system (~1 MHz) not
tested here (needs cooled optics)
Resolving power (R = 5000) will be upgraded for NGLS
(<0.02%)
Conclusions will be available soon after Aug. 2013
installation at LCLS (by end of 2013)

SXRSS System
Replaces und. #9 (4-m long) with grating-based
monochromator, tunable from 0.5 to 1.0 keV (0.3 to 1.2
keV possible)
One grating (VLS) and 3 mirrors, plus various motion
controls
Time delay of monochromator & chicane: 600-1000 fs
System easily retracted for SASE or HXRSS operation
