Overview of the Status of the Diamond Project
The presentation will outline the status of
R.P. Walker (Diamond)
the Diamond project including an overview
of the major areas of technical challenge including
reference to the physics issues and their impact on design and performance. The majority of the talk will
present the status and challenges of first commissioning, outlining the current performance and the challenges in
achieving operational status.
Overview of the Status of the SOLEIL Project
SOLEIL is a third generation synchrotron ra-
J.-M. Filhol (SOLEIL)
diation source, under construction in France
near Paris. The storage ring consists of a 357
m circumference ring, with 16 cells and 24 straight sections, out of which up to 21 will house insertion devices (ID).
The optics features a low 3.7 nm.rad emittance at the 2.75 GeV operating energy, so as to provide high brilliance,
from the VUV up to the hard x-ray domain. To reach a long lifetime, and beam position stabilities in the micron
range, significant attention was paid at each design stage (optics, magnets, beam position monitors, vacuum and RF
systems. . .), including on the design of the building, the construction of which is now complete. This resulted in
some unprecedented approaches such as the intensive use of NEG coating vessels, or the development of a dedicated
SC RF cavity and of 200 kW solid state RF amplifiers. The injector system (100 MeV Linac) and the 3 Hz full energy
booster synchrotron have reached nominal operating conditions by fall 2005, while the ring commissioning should
start by April 2006. Innovative ID’s were designed and built so as to provide the best possible performances in a wide
energy range (5 eV to 50 keV).
Laser Systems and Accelerators
The presentation will cover the use of laser
H. Schlarb (DESY)
systems in accelerators. Topics covered will
be the use of lasers for the production of electron
beam from photocathodes, timing and diagnostics, laser heater systems to control space charge effects, as seed
systems. Challenges in terms of stability, pulse shaping, power and pulse lengths, wavelength range and tuning will
be covered for the various aspects.
