Abstract CompactLight is a Design Study funded by the European Union under Horizon 2020 research and innovation funding programme, with Grant Agreement No. 777431. was conducted an International Collaboration of 23 international laboratories academic institutions, three private companies, five third parties. The project, which started in January 2018 duration 48 months, aimed to design innovative, compact, cost-effective hard X-ray FEL facility complemented soft source pave road for future...
Abstract The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) beam-based acceleration baseline uses high-gradient travelling wave accelerating structures at a frequency of 12 GHz. In order to prove the performance these high peak power and short pulse width RF, two klystron-based test facilities will be put in operation this year. first Southern Hemisphere X-band Laboratory for Accelerators Beams (X-LAB) is currently being commissioned University Melbourne, it house half CERN stand XBOX3, which has been...
Investigations into producing an electron beam with ultralow vertical emittance have been conducted using the Australian Synchrotron 3 GeV storage ring. A method of tuning coupling (${ϵ}_{y}/{ϵ}_{x}$) has developed a machine model calibrated through linear optics from closed orbits method. Direct measurements not possible due to diagnostic limitations, however two independent indirect both indicate 1.2--1.3 pm rad (${ϵ}_{y}/{ϵ}_{x}=0.01%$). Other support validity these results. This result...
Current modulations, current spikes, and horns, are observed in a range of accelerator physics applications including strong bunch compression Free Electron Lasers linear colliders, trains microbunching for terahertz radiation, instability many others. This paper considers the fundamental mechanism that drives intense modulations dispersive regions, beyond common explanation nonlinear higher-order effects. Under certain conditions, neighboring electron trajectories merge to form caustics,...
Control of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR)-induced emittance growth is essential in linear accelerators designed to deliver very high brightness electron beams. Extreme current values at the head and tail bunch, resulting from strong bunch compression, are responsible for large CSR production leading significant transverse projected growth. The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) truncates spikes which greatly improves free laser (FEL) performance. Here we consider underlying dynamics...
The H₂020 CompactLight Project (www. CompactLight.eu) aims at designing the next generation of compact X-rays Free-Electron Lasers, relying on very high gradient accelerating structures (X-band, 12 GHz), most advanced concepts for bright electron photo injectors, and innovative short-period undulators. Compared to existing facilities, proposed facility will benefit from a lower beam energy, due enhanced undulators performance, be significantly more compact, with smaller footprint, as...

The main goal project, which started in January 2018 with a duration 36 months, design hard X-ray FEL facility beyond today’s state art, using latest concepts for bright electron photo-injectors, high-gradient accelerating structures, innovative short-period undulators. specifications parameters future are driven demands...
Using a vertical undulator, picometer electron beam emittances have been observed at the Australian Synchrotron storage ring. An APPLE-II type undulator was phased to produce horizontal magnetic field, which creates synchrotron radiation field that is very sensitive emittance. The measured ratios of spectral peak heights are evaluated by fitting simulations apparatus. With this apparatus immediately available most existing and positron rings, we find be an appropriate novel emittance diagnostic.
In this paper we present the first measurements of machine impedance and observed beam instabilities at Australian Synchrotron. Impedance are made by studying single bunch behaviour with current, using optical X-ray diagnostic beamlines. An coupled-bunch instability, its cause cure is also discussed.
Further reduction of betatron coupling and vertical dispersion in the storage ring Australian Synchrotron Light Source has resulted achievement a beam emittance that is now dominated by intrinsic quantum effects. This paper will detail key elements achieving at limit results achieved.
LOCO has been used during the commissioning of Australian Synchrotron storage ring with a number benefits. The (linear optics from close orbits) method compares model response matrix to real machine matrix. Using this approach we are able adjust match ideal model. Results presented here show that provided high degree control over wide range parameters.
Preliminary plans are presented for a sub-Angstrom wavelength XFEL at the Australian Synchrotron light source site. The design is based around 6 GeV x-band linac from CLIC Project. One of motivationsfor to have an co-located on site with existing storage ring synchrotron source. desire and ability photon science community win beamtime XFELs has lead this study plan future machine in Australia. technology choice also driven by participation collaboration local HEP community.
The X-band FEL collaboration is currently designing an X-ray free-electron laser based on acceleration technology. Due to the higher accelerating gradients achievable with technology, a normal conducting linac can be shorter and therefore potentially cost ecient than what lower frequency structures. This reduction of future facilities addresses growing demand user community for coherent X-rays. consists 12 institutes universitiesthatjointlyworkonthepreparationofdesignreports specific...
