  Including reverse bending magnets further reduces the equilibrium emittance of multi-bend achromat (MBA) lattices through decoupling of dispersion and horizontal beta function. This coupling is a shortcoming of the classical theoretical minimum emittance (TME) cell preventing it from reaching lowest emittance at realistic, moderate focusing conditions. Rather small deflection angles of the reverse bends, in the order of 10% of the unit cell bending angle, are usually sufficient, and realized through down-feed by displacing the horizontally focusing quadrupoles of the unit cell by a small amount towards the storage ring inside. Reverse bends are indispensable in particular to enable emittance reduction from dipoles with longitudinal field variation, since these require very small dispersion at the central region of highest field strength. In past decades reverse bends were employed occasionally for isochronous lattices or to enhance damping. Now they are becoming an integral component of low emittance MBA lattices.

Electron bunches in an undulator develop periodic density fluctuations, or microbunches, which enable the exponential gain of power in an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). For certain applications, one would like to preserve this microbunching structure of the electron bunch as it experiences a dipole kick which bends its trajectory. This process, called microbunch rotation, rotates the microbunches and aligns them perpendicular to the new direction of electron travel. Microbunch rotation was demonstrated experimentally by MacArthur et al. with soft x-rays* and additional unpublished data demonstrated microbunch rotation with hard x-rays. Further investigations into the magnetic lattice used to rotate these microbunches showed that microbunches can be rotated using an achromatic lattice with a small R56, connecting this technique to earlier studies of achromatic bends. Here, we propose and study a practical way to rotate Angstrom-level microbunching as an out-coupling mechanism for the Optical Cavity-Based X-ray FEL (CBXFEL) project at SLAC.

  Considering the incompatible off-axis injection scheme on the newly constructed light sources, we have proposed a new on-axis accumulation scheme based on the so-called triple-frequency RF system [1]. By means of additional second harmonic cavities, the original static longitudinal acceptance will be lengthened, which will provide the sufficient time to raise a full-strength kicker pulse. Through imposing the specific restriction on the RF parameters, the final bunch length can also be stretched to satisfy the functions of the conventional bunch lengthening system. In this paper, we will move on to explain how to build this complex triple-frequency RF system, and present the relevant simulation works.

  Photoinjectors have demonstrated the capability of electron beam transverse tailoring, enabled by the microlens array (MLA) setup. For instance, electron beams, transversely segmented into periodic beamlet formations, were successfully produced in several experiments at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). In this proceeding, we discuss necessary steps to demonstrate the hollow electron beam generation, with an arbitrary diameter and width with the MLA. We also present beam dynamics simulations and highlight key features of the hollow beam transport in LCLS copper linac.

  Advances in electron beam optics control for suppression of the microbunching instability in high brightness linacs. Experimental demonstrations of the instability suppression confirm the validity of the theoretical model, and promise simple and robust schemes for improvement of the spectral brightness at x-ray FELs.
