| abstract: | We report the results of a high energy spread SASE FEL experiment, the intermediary experiment linking the VISA I and VISA II projects. A highly chirped beam (1.7 %) was transported, without corrections of longitudinal aberrations in the ATF dogleg, and injected into the VISA undulator. The ouput radiation displayed an uncharacteristicly large bandwidth (12 %) with extremely stable lasing and mea- sured energy of about 2 μJ . Start-to-end simulations re- produced key features of the experiment and provided an insight into the michanisms giving rise to such a high band- width. These analyses have important implications on the VISA II experiment. |

| abstract: | The VISA II experiment entails the use of a chirped electron beam to drive a high gain SASE FEL. Sextupoles are implemented to correct the longitudinal aberrations affecting the high energy spread chirped beam during transport to the undulator. The output radiation is diagnosed with a modified frequency resolved optical gating (FROG) technique. The double differential energy spectrum is measured with a pair of slits and a set of gratings. In this paper, we report on start-to-end simulations, radiation diagnostics, as well as initial experimental results. Technical considerations for future experimental methods are also addressed. |
