We show the feasibility of generating X-ray pulses in the 4 to 8 keV fundamental photon energy range with 0.65 TW peak power, 15 fs pulse duration, $9times10^{-5}$ bandwidth, using the LCLS-II copper linac and hard X-ray (HXR) undulator. Third harmonic pulses with 8-12 GW peak power and narrow bandwidth are also generated. High power and small bandwidth X-rays are obtained using two electron bunches separated by about 1 ns, one to generate a high power seed signal, the other to amplify it by tapering the magnetic field of the HXR undulator. The bunch delay is compensated by delaying the seed pulse with a four crystals monochromator. The high power seed leads to higher output power and better spectral properties, with $>$94% of the X-ray power being within the near transform limited bandwidth. We discuss some of the experiments made possible by X-ray pulses with these characteristics, like single particle imaging and high field physics.
We propose a new scheme to generate high-brightness and temporal coherent soft x-ray radiation in a seeded free-electron laser. The proposed scheme is based the coherent harmonic generation (CHG) and superradiant principles. A CHG scheme is first use
Transverse deflecting structures (TDS) are widely used in accelerator physics to measure the longitudinal density of particle bunches. When used in combination with a dispersive section, the whole longitudinal phase space density can be imaged. At th
Quality factor is a primary cost driver for high energy, continuous wave (CW) SRF linacs like the LCLS-II X-ray free electron laser currently under construction. Taking this into account, several innovations were introduced in the LCLS-II cryomodule
This paper describes the concept for the DArk Sector Experiments at LCLS-II (DASEL) facility which provides a near-CW beam of multi-GeV electrons to the SLAC End Station A for experiments in particle physics. The low-current multi-GeV electron beam i
Recent investigations of RF copper structures operated at cryogenic temperatures performed by a SLAC-UCLA collaboration have shown a dramatic increase in the maximum surface electric field, to 500 MV/m. We examine use of these fields to enable very h
