Wake field effect on the electron beam from the undulator chamber in PAL-XFEL is analyzed. The wake field takeover some energy from the electron beam which will increase the energy spread of the electron beam. This will cause the degradation of the radiation power in PAL-XFEL. To decrease the effect, the surface of the undulator vacuum chamber should be fabricated with 200 nm surface roughness and 5 nm oxidation layer. In this presentation, the numerical calculation of the wake will be shown. Simulation results of the radiation generation in PAL-XFEL also will be presented.

포항가속기연구소 PLS-II 저장링에 설치 운용중인 In-vacuum undulator (이하, IVU) 내부 Cu/Ni foil에 발생한 국부적 손상에 대하여, 원인을 분석하고 수리 및 정상 운용을 위한 절차들이 진행 되었다. 해체된 IVU의 손상부위를 세밀하게 조사하고 손상 원인에 대하여 다각도로 분석하였다. 손상된 Cu/Ni foil은 개선된 신규 제품으로 교체하고, 손상 원인이 될 수 있는 부품들을 제거토록 하였다. IVU 내부 관측을 위한 장치를 추가 설치하고 안정적인 온도 데이터 획득을 위한 노력도 함께 검토 되었다. 본 발표는 IVU 손상에 대한 원인분석 내용과 함께 해체, 수리, 재설치 과정 등에 대한 종합적인 내용으로 한다.

Many research applications in basic sciences and biology such as protein crystallography require hard x-rays in the range of 3-20 keV with high brightness. A medium energy storage ring as PLS-II with a beam energy of 3 GeV can meet such high photon energies. In-vacuum undulators (IVU) with a period length of 20 mm and a peak field of 0.97 T are used in the PLS-II ring to produce such X-rays in the fundamental or higher harmonics. Due to the many poles and high fields, insertion devices like wigglers and undulators have a significant impact on the stability of the electron beam with potential degradation of beam quality and life time. Therefore, nonlinear fields must be determined by measurement and evaluated as to their impact on beam stability. Specifically, transverse field roll-off can be a serious detriment to injection in top-up mode and must be corrected. We use magnetic field measurement data to evaluated beam stability by tracking particles using an explicit symplectic integrator in both, transverse and longitudinal planes.

An X-ray Free Electron laser facility (PAL-XFEL) has been built in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory to provide X-ray FEL radiations for photon users. The machine consists of a 10 GeV normalconducting S-band linear accelerator and two undulator beamlines. The hard and soft X-ray beamlines will provide FEL radiations with wavelengths of 0.6 to 0.1 nm and 4.5 to 1 nm, respectively. Beam commissioning of PAL-XFEL is ongoing and user service will start in 2017. In this report, the PAL-XFEL layout and the working principle are discussed.

Free electron lasers (FELs) are promising sources of coherent radiation that can provide users with radiations having a wide-range frequency-tunability and good spectral characteristics for basic science and industrial applications. Especially in Terahertz or X-ray ranges of spectrum, FELs can generate much stronger radiations than conventional light sources. In this paper, we introduce the working principles and key technologies of FELs, the status and the prospects of FEL developments.
