0. Simulations of Rod-Grating Structures

Mr Yelong Wei (Cockcroft Institute)

27/09/2016, 15:00

Simulation studies for a rod-grating structure driven by THz pulses will be presented in my slides. At first, geometry optimizations are performed in order to get the optimum rod-grating structure for acceleration of relativistic electrons. It is followed by detailed wakefield study for an optimum 100-period structure. Simulations were performed using the VSim, for parameters of the ACHIP...

1. Free-electron-laser simulations for the soft X-ray beamline of SwissFEL

Mr Fabio Feser (PSI)

SwissFEL is a X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) facility at the Paul Scherrer Institut that will serve two beamlines: 1) Aramis, a hard X-ray beamline with a wavelength range between 0.1 and 0.7 nm that it is presently under commissioning, and 2) Athos, a soft X-ray beamline expected to provide FEL radiation by 2020 for wavelengths between 0.65 and 5 nm. In this talk FEL simulations for the...

2. Measurement of the resolution of an in-vacuum microscope

Ms Marie Siegler (PSI)

The electron beam in SwissFEL planned to be used for the accelerator on chip experiments is extremely small (<1um) in order to pass through the dielectric structure. Therefore an adequate diagnostic setup to measure its transverse size needs to be developed and characterized. The setup to perform such measurements consists of a combination of a infitilely corrected microscope lens and an...
