Aiming at high precision beam position measurement of micron or sub-micron for Shanghai Soft X-ray free electron laser (SXFEL) facility which is being built in site of the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has developed a high Q cavity beam position monitor (CBPM) that the resonant frequency is 4.7 GHz and relevant BPM electronics include dedicated RF front-end and home-made digital BPM (DBPM) also has been done. The cavity design, cold test, system architecture and the beam test with three adjacent pickups has been performed in Shanghai Deep ultraviolet free electron laser(SDUV-FEL) facility are included. The beam experiment results show that the physical design of our CBPM is consistent with the expectations basically and the beam position resolution can fulfill the resolution requirements for the SXFEL project if we optimize the beam conditions.

We present the design and preliminary results of a prototype beam-based digital feedback system for the Interaction Point of the International Linear Collider. A custom analogue front-end processor, FPGA-based digital signal processing board, and kicker drive amplifier have been designed, built, and tested on the extraction line of the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF). The system was measured to have a latency of approximately 140 ns.
Initial test results of an L-band multi-beam klystron with parameters relevant for ILC are presented. The chief distinction of this tube from MBKs already developed for ILC is its low operating voltage of 60 kV, a virtue that implies considerable technological simplifications in the accelerator complex. To demonstrate the concept underlying the tubes design, a six-beamlet quadrant (a 54 inch high one-quarter portion of the full 1.3 GHz tube) was built and recently underwent initial tests, with main goals of demonstrating rated gun perveance, rated gain, and at least one-quarter of the full 10-MW rated power. Our initial three-day conditioning campaign without RF drive (140 microsec pulses @ 60 Hz) was stopped at 53% of full rated duty because of time-limits at the test-site; no signs appeared that would seem to prevent achieving full duty operation (i.e., 1.6 msec pulses @ 10 Hz). The subsequent tests with 10-15 microsec RF pulses confirmed the rated gain, produced output powers of up to 2.86 MW at 60 kV with high efficiency and 56 dB gain, and showed acceptable beam interception. These results suggest that a full version of the tube should be able to produce up to 11.5 MW. Follow-on tests are planned for later in 2015.
In free electron laser facilities, almost every kind of device will generate wakefield when an electron beam passes through it. Most of the wakefields are undesired and have a negative effect on the electron beam, which means a decrease of FEL performance. As for the SXFEL test facility, the sophisticated layout and the cumulative effect of such a long undulator section lead to an obvious wakefield, which is strong enough that can not be ignored. Based on two deflecting cavities at the entrance and the exit of the undulator section with corresponding profile monitors, we measured the wakefield of the undulator section. In this paper, we give the theoretical and simulation results of resistive wall wakefields which agree well with each other. In addition, the experimental and the simulation results of the overall undulator wakefield are given showing small difference. In order to explore the impact of this wakefield on FEL lasing, we give the simulation results of FEL with and without wakefield for comparison. There is almost no impact on 44 nm FEL in stage-1 of cascaded EEHG-HGHG mode, while the impact on 8.8 nm FEL in stage-2 becomes critical decreasing the pulse energy and peak power by 42% and 27% and broadening the bandwidth.
The undulator line of the Shanghai soft X-ray Free-electron Laser facility (SXFEL) has very tight tolerances on the straightness of the electron beam trajectory. However, the beam trajectory cannot meet the lasing requirements due to the influence of beam position, launch angle and quadrupole offsets. Traditional mechanical alignment can only control the rms of offsets to about 100 $mu$m, which is far from reaching the requirement. Further orbit correction can be achieved by beam-based alignment (BBA) method based on electron energy variations. K modulation is used to determine whether the beam passes through the quadrupole magnetic center, and the Dispersion-Free Steering (DFS) method is used to calculate the offsets of quadrupole and BPM. In this paper, a detailed result of simulation is presented which demonstrates that the beam trajectory with rms and standard deviation ($sigma$) less than 10 $mu$m can be obtained.
This work describes first commissioning results from the Cornell Brookhaven Energy Recovery Test Accelerator Fractional Arc Test. These include the recommissioning of the Cornell photo-injector, the first full energy operation of the main linac with beam, as well as commissioning of the lowest energy matching beamline (splitter) and a partial section of the Fixed Field Alternating gradient (FFA) return loop featuring first production Halbach style permanent magnets. Achieving these tasks required characterization of the injection beam, calibration and phasing of the main linac cavities, demonstration of the required 36 MeV energy gain, and measurement of the splitter line horizontal dispersion and R56 at the nominal 42 MeV. In addition, a procedure for determining the BPM offsets, as well as the tune per cell in the FFA section via scanning the linac energy and inducing betatron oscillations around the periodic orbit in the fractional arc was developed and tested. A detailed comparison of these measurements to simulation is discussed.
