Ideas:

Precise in-situ measurement of the spontaneous radiation spectrum from individual undulator segments has the potential to become an important tool in commissioning the Undulator System. For the XFEL to work properly, the strength of each segment must be adjusted with a relative precision of about 0.01%. This level of precision will probably require in-situ adjustment. The workpackage for Undulator Commissioning is aimed at developing this tool by asking contributors to:
  • Present methods for measuring in-situ K-values or phase errors using spontaneous x-rays from individual undulator segments.
  • Lay out issues that need to be studied, such as finite beam size, undulator segment imperfections, x-ray reflections from vacuum chamber walls, near-field issues associated with differing distances from undulator segment to measuring apparatus, and jitter in the electron beam position and energy.
  • Describe what machine experiments might be done employing this technique, such as determining segment alignment, or measuring the vacuum chamber impedance

Presentation Equipment:

Provisions for presenting talks from a CD or a PC laptop are available as wells as using the old overhead projector.
