Phys. Mtg, Nov. 12, 2014 XTES components must be capable of sustaining full un-focused FEL peak power be capable of dissipating a maximum of 200 W FEL average power for FEE components*, and 20 W for instruments preserve FEL characteristics to extent feasible by -minimizing FEL intensity reduction for non-invasive diagnostic devices to preserve extremely high peak power Enabling X-ray strong-field physics -minimizing FEL wavefront distortions and transverse coherence degradations to preserve coherence properties Enabling coherence-based experimental techniques -minimizing pulse stretching if monochromators are used to preserve the ultrafast temporal property Enabling ultrafast time-resolved studies 5 LCLS-II FEL Thermal Effects from Impulse and Average LCLS-II Accel. Phys. Mtg, Nov. 12, 2014 For LCLS-I low repetition rate operation Only damages from a single-shot impulse are considered, average heating effect is generally negligible due to low power < 1 W. For LCLS-II high repetition rate (thus high average power) operation Thermal effects from both impulse and average power are considered together. -Steady-state solution can be worked out by assuming CW input. -Single-shot impulse solution can be worked out separately using the steady-state as baseline -Complete solution is a superposition of those of steady-state and single-shot impulse* 6 LCLS-II X-ray Attenuators LCLS-II Accel.
