Experimental Hutches at Linac Coherent Light Source
•AMO: Atomic, Molecular & Optical Science
This instrument will enable the study of the interaction between the extremely intense
LCLS X-ray pulses and the basic constituents of matter: atoms and molecules.
• CXI: Coherent X-ray Imaging
This instrument will take advantage of the extremely bright, ultrashort LCLS pulses of
hard X-rays to allow imaging of non-periodic nanoscale objects, including single or
small clusters of biomolecules at or near atomic resolution.
• MEC: Matter in Extreme Conditions
This proposed instrument will observe matter at temperatures exceeding 10,000 Kelvin
and at pressures 10 million times the earth's atmospheric pressure at sea-level, enabling
unprecedented understanding of exotic states of matter.
•SXR: Soft X-ray Materials Science
This instrument will enable the high brightness and timing capability of the LCLS to be
applied to scattering and imaging experiments that require the use of soft X-rays.
•XCS: X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy
This instrument will observe dynamical changes of large groups of atoms in condensed
matter systems over a wide range of time scales.
• XPP: X-ray Pump Probe
This instrument will predominantly use a fast optical laser to generate transient states of
matter, and the hard X-ray pulse from the LCLS to probe the structural dynamics
initiated by the laser excitation.

Why a Linac-Based Free-Electron Laser* ?
•“Recent” advances in high-brightness RF photocathode guns
•Longitudinal emittance from linac is ~103 smaller than ring
•Bunch length can be <100 fs and with small energy spread
•Experience from linear collider operation and study (SLC,
TESLA, JLC, NLC, CLIC)
•The last 1-km of the SLAC linac is available
•FEL produces unprecedented brightness and fsec pulses
Use SASE** (Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission) 
no mirrors or seed-lasers at 1-Å wavelengths

Need a very bright, high-energy, bunched electron
beam → linear accelerator provides MUCH brighter
beam than a ring
Electron bunch is injected into a long undulator → an

Slippage and coherence length
Light overtakes e- beam by one radiation wavelength 1 per
undulator period (interaction length = undulator length)
z
Slippage length = 1 × N undulator periods:
(at 1.5 Å, LCLS slippage is: ls ≈ 1.5 fs << 100-fs pulse length)
Each part of optical pulse is amplified by those electrons within a
slippage length (an FEL slice)
Coherence length is slippage over ~2LG (lc << ls)

LCLS Parameter Changes
Machine Pulse Rate (1, 10, 30, 60, 120 Hz & one-shot)*
changed in seconds with one button push.
Wavelength (25 - 1.2 Å) changed in 5-60 minutes.
Pulse Energy (0 - 4 mJ) easily lowered, but may take 1-2 hrs
to achieve >2.5 mJ (depends on wavelength, etc).
Pulse Length (60 - 500 fs FWHM – for soft x-rays) easily
changed in 1 minute (closed loop control).
Peak FEL Power (0 - 40 GW) set by pulse length (increases
with peak current – see next slide).
Ultra-Short Pulse Length (<10 fs FWHM?) 20 pC - requires
1-2 hours to establish (starting from nominal 250-pC
conditions).

Conclusions.
• Routine tuning can be and is done during beam
“delivery”. User’s consent usually required.
• Energy changes take away from “delivery” time.
Smaller energy changes are accomplished by
Energy ramp gui. Larger energy change require
multiple steps,
Load known good configuration close to desired
energy.
Activate Klystrons on the beam to match the
configuration energy.
LEM (scale LINAC lattice)
Run energy ramp gui to get to the desired energy.
Bholat@slac.stanford.edu
Conclusions.
Steer to “gold” orbit.
Standardize all the bend magnets
• Known problems:
Correctors don’t scale properly.
Muon Shield wall generate multipole
fields.
BX01/BX02 correctors.
50B1 degauss.
A4 BSY correctors remnant fields.
Bholat@slac.stanford.edu
Conclusions.
• One way to speed up large energy change
would be to establish every 500MeV “safe
zone” configuration file during Machine
Development (MD)
• Going to low charge ultra short pulse take
away time from delivery. There are many
steps involved, some are automated others
can’t be automated. (1-2hrs)
• There is an ongoing effort to create new tools
to configure LCLS machine efficiently and
repeatable manner so as to satisfy user
requirements.

EM radiation (radio waves) is
produced by electrons running up

If we accelerate the
electrons to near light
speed we get a Doppler
shift producing x-rays
(instead of radio waves),
where here the up and
down electron motion is
caused by the FEL

    Conclusions. • Routine tuningcan be and is done during beam “delivery”. User’s consent usually required. • Energy changes take away from “delivery” time. Smaller energy changes are accomplished by Energy ramp gui. Larger energy change require multiple steps, Load known good configuration close to desired energy. Activate Klystrons on the beam to match the configuration energy. LEM (scale LINAC lattice) Run energy ramp gui to get to the desired energy. Bholat@slac.stanford.edu
  • 60.
    Conclusions. Steer to “gold”orbit. Standardize all the bend magnets • Known problems: Correctors don’t scale properly. Muon Shield wall generate multipole fields. BX01/BX02 correctors. 50B1 degauss. A4 BSY correctors remnant fields. Bholat@slac.stanford.edu
  • 61.
    Conclusions. • One wayto speed up large energy change would be to establish every 500MeV “safe zone” configuration file during Machine Development (MD) • Going to low charge ultra short pulse take away time from delivery. There are many steps involved, some are automated others can’t be automated. (1-2hrs) • There is an ongoing effort to create new tools to configure LCLS machine efficiently and repeatable manner so as to satisfy user requirements. Bholat@slac.stanford.edu
