TABLE 3.1: Design system parameters of the 10 kW FEL Upgrade. Parameter Design Value Beam energy at undulator 80-210 MeV Average beam current 10 mA Bunch charge 135 pC Bunch repetition rate up to 74.85 MHz Normalized emittance (rms) 13 mm-mrad Bunch length at undulator (rms) 200 fs Peak Current 270 A FEL extraction efficiency 1% ∆E/E before undulator (rms) 0.5% ∆E/E after undulator (full) 10% CW FEL power 10 kW displayed in Fig. 3.1. The primary system parameters (design values) are listed in Table 3.1. Because the experimental measurements described in Chapters 5, 6 and 7 were performed with the Driver, this chapter presents the required conditions for lasing, from the standpoint of the electron beam, and how these conditions are satisfied in the FEL Driver. Reduced to its primary objective, the Driver must generate a short bunch (high peak current) at the undulator and energy compress and energy recover the large longitudinal phase space of the spent electron beam following the undulator [49]. The injector is designed to generate a long bunch with low momentum spread. The objective of the Driver is to rotate the longitudinal phase space 90 ◦ to create a short bunch at the undulator. Following the undulator, the longitudinal phase space must be rotated back by 90 ◦ to energy compress the beam which has ac- quired a large momentum spread. These longitudinal phase space manipulations are achieved by accelerating the bunches off-crest through the linac to impart a phase-energy correlation. Rotation of the phase space to an upright ellipse at the undulator is accomplished with a proper choice of the momentum compaction (the 63

Similar longitudinal phase space manipulations are used to properly man- age the beam after the undulator to the beam dump. Details of this process are described in Section 3.5. The driver can be thought of as being comprised of an injector and injection line, a linac section and a recirculator. A brief description of each section follows. 64
