/ Zhao, Yongke (CERN) ; Aksoy, Avni (Ankara U. ; CERN) ; Castañeda Cortés, Hector Mauricio (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Dunning, David (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Latina, Andrea (CERN) ; Thompson, Neil (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.)
The CompactLight collaboration designed a compact and cost-effective hard X-ray FEL facility, complemented by a soft X-ray option, based on X-band acceleration, capable of operating at 1 kHz pulse repetition rate. In this paper, we present a new simple start-to-end optimisation strategy that is developed for the CompactLight accelerator beamline, focusing on the hard X-ray mode. [...]

CompactLight (XLS) is an International Collaboration of 24 partners and 5 third parties, funded by the European Union through the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The main goal of the project, which started in January 2018 with a duration of 36 months, is the design of an hard X-ray FEL facility beyond today’s state of the art, using the latest concepts for bright electron photo-injectors, high-gradient accelerating structures, and innovative short-period undulators.

The H2020 CompactLight Project aims at designing the next generation of compact X-rays Free-Electron Lasers, relying on very high gradient accelerating structures (X-band, 12 GHz), the most advanced concepts for high brightness electron photo injectors, and innovative compact short-period undulators. Compared to existing facilities, the proposed facility will benefit from a lower electron beam energy, due to the enhanced undulators performance, and will be significantly more compact, with a smaller footprint, as a consequence of the lower energy and the high-gradient X-band structures.

S-Band Transverse Deflecting Structure Design for CompactLight
/ Wu, Xiaowei (CERN) ; Di Mitri, Simone (Sincrotrone Trieste) ; Thompson, Neil (Cockcroft Inst. Accel. Sci. Tech.) ; Wuensch, Walter (CERN)
The CompactLight project is currently developing the design of a next generation hard X-ray FEL facility, which is based on high-gradient X-band (12 GHz) structures. However, to carry out pump-and-probe experiments in the project, two-bunch operation with a spacing of 10 X-band rf cycles is proposed. [...]

H2020 CompactLight Project aims at designing the next generation of compact hard X-Rays Free-Electron Lasers, relying on very high accelerating gradients and on novel undulator concepts. CompactLight intends to design a compact Hard X-ray FEL facility based on very high-gradient acceleration in the X band of frequencies, on a very bright photo injector, and on short-period/superconductive undulators to enable smaller electron beam energy.

Ka-band linearizer studies for a compact light source

The CompactLight project is currently developing the design of a next generation hard X-ray FEL facility, based on high-gradient X-band (12 GHz) structures, bright electron photo-injectors, and compact short period undulators. However, to improve the brightness limitations due to the non-linear energy spread of the electron bunches, a Ka-band (36 GHz) linearizer is being considered to provide a harmonic compensation during the bunch compression.

Plasma accelerators support accelerating fields of 100's of GV/m over meter-scale distances and routinely produce femtosecond-scale, multi-kA electron bunches. The so called Trojan Horse underdense photocathode plasma wakefield acceleration scheme combines state-of-the-art accelerator technology with laser and plasma methods and paves the way to improve beam quality as regards emittance and energy spread by many orders of magnitude.

Fibre based Optical Beam Loss Monitors (oBLMs) are on-line devices used in-situ to measure losses along a beam-line. The technology is based on the detection of Cherenkov radiation, produced inside quartz fibres placed alongside the beampipe, from the interaction of secondary showers generated from losses hitting the vacuum pipe.
