| abstract: | The proposal to perform a series of plasma lens experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam at SLAC has been described earlier. We report on our progress towards validation of concepts involved in the experiments, including the laser ionized plasma production test, development of the supersonic gas jet as the plasma source, and study on focused beam size measurement techniques. Most importantly, the effects of background events due to plasma lenses in future linear collider detectors, such as that in the NLC, are studied in details and are shown to be within detector tolerances. |

| abstract: | We intend to carry out a series of plasma lens experiments at the Final Focus Test Beam facility at SLAC. These experiments will be the first to study the focusing of particle beams by plasma focusing devices in the parameter regime of interest for high energy colliders, and is expected to lead to plasma lens designs capable of unprecedented spot sizes. Plasma focusing of positron beams will be attempted for the first time. We will study the effects of lens aberrations due to various lens imperfections. Several approaches will be applied to create the plasma required including laser ionization and beam induced tunneling ionization of a working gas - the latter which has never been observed before. The compactness of our device should prove to be of interest for applications at the SLC and the next generation linear colliders. |

| title: | Feasibility study of a storage ring for a high-power XUV free-electron laser |
| format: | journal article |
| year: | 1986 |
| 12 authors: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| abstract: | A high-gain free-electron lase (FEL), operating in a special by-pass of a storage ring, can provide tens of megawatts of coherent power at wavelengths shorter than 1000 AA. The requirements on beam quality are demanding-a few hundred amperes of peak current in an emittance of about 10/sup -8/ m-rad with a relative energy spread of about 10/sup -3/. Designing an electron storage ring with the required characteristics involves a comprehensive analysis of the restrictions arising from, and relationships between, the FEL physics, the multiparticle beam phenomena, and the ring lattice structure. A summary of such a study is reported and some design examples are given. (39 References). |

| abstract: | The authors report on the study of a storage ring capable of sustaining an electron beam of the quality required for a high-gain free electron laser in the vacuum ultraviolet and X-ray region. They describe a method for the optimization of the design of the storage ring where several competing and often conflicting requirements come into play. They present an example design of a ring that satisfies the required conditions of beam quality and is able to produce coherent radiation at 400 AA with tens of megawatts of peak power.

| title: | Optimization of the parameters of a storage ring for a high power XUV free electron laser |

| abstract: | The authors describe the operation of an XUV high gain FEL operating within a bypass of an electron storage ring, and discuss the implications on storage ring optimization imposed be FEL requirements. It transpires that, in the parameter regime of interest, collective effects within the beam play an important role. For example, intrabeam scattering dilutes the transverse emittance of the beam and the microwave instability increases the momentum spread. Both phenomena reduce the effectiveness of the FEL. A computer code, ZAP, has been written which, for a given lattice design, takes all such effects into consideration and produces a figure of merit for FEL operation for that machine. They show the results of ZAP for several storage ring designs, all optimized for FEL operation, and present a design example of a facility capable of producing coherent radiation at 400 AA with tens of megawatts of peak power.
