Undulators for XFELs<br />

• Alternating magnetic field, wavelength of a few cm.<br />

– Shorter wavelength allows operation with lower energy<br />

electron beams (if they have enough brightness)<br />

– Short wavelength undulators require narrow gaps -><br />

alignment <strong>and</strong> wakefield problems<br />

• For XFELs, generally want as high a “K” as practical<br />

– Provides higher gain <strong>and</strong> efficiency<br />

– High K -> higher e-beam energy<br />

• Very tight tolerances: ~10 micron orbit in LCLS<br />

Beam Based Alignment of LCLS undulator H. Loos<br />

Fixed Gap Undulator: Simple, high fields, good tolerances.<br />

Need to change beam energy to change wavelength<br />

Adjustable gap Undulator: Can change wavelength with fixed<br />

e-beam energy: allows multiple undulators fed from a single<br />

linac.<br />
