   Title = {A Pass-by-pass Gain Measurement Technique for Oscillator
             FELs},
   Journal = {Proceedings of FEL2008, Gyeongju, Korea,
             2008},
   Year = {2008},
   Abstract = {We present a new pass-by-pass gain measurement technique for
             a storage ring FEL. Typically, the FEL oscillator gain is
             obtained by measuring the growth of the envelope of an
             optical macropulse using a slow photo-detector. While
             successfully used for low-gain FEL operation at Duke FEL
             laboratory for many years, this method was not adequate for
             measuring higher gains of distributed optical klystron FELs.
             We have developed a new gain measurement technique based
             upon the direct measurement of the micropulse energy from
             one pass to another using fast photo-detectors. This
             technique provides a powerful tool to study the entire FEL
             gain process, including the startup process of the FEL
             lasing. In this work, we describe this new gain measurement
             technique in detail and compare it with the old technique.
             Using fast photo-detectors with a picosecond time response,
             this new technique can be extended to measure the gain of
             other oscillator FELs, including those driven by
             superconducting linacs.},

   Title = {Controlling Wiggler Harmonic Radiation to Reduce Damage to
             FEL Cavity Mirrors},
   Year = {2008},
   Abstract = {In an oscillator FEL, higher-order harmonic radiation from
             wigglers can cause serious damage to the downstream FEL
             resonator mirror or limit the maximum electron beam current
             for FEL operation due to thermal overload. With a helical
             wiggler, higher-order harmonic radiation is peaked off-axis.
             By blocking the off-axis wiggler harmonic power, the
             radiation damage to the FEL resonator mirror can be reduced.
             In this paper, we report a recently developed scheme to
             control the off-axis harmonic radiation from helical FEL
             wigglers using a set of motorized, water-cooled, in-vacuum
             apertures. These apertures can reduce the harmonic power
             load on the downstream FEL resonator mirror by one order of
             magnitude. With these apertures, high power FEL operation
             with a high electron beam current will become feasible in
             the UV-VUV wavelength range with Duke storage ring
             FELs.},

             reaction at the High Intensity γ -ray Source with linearly
             polarized beams of 14 and 16 MeV. The outgoing neutrons were
             detected using the Blowfish detector array, consisting of 88
             liquid scintillator detectors with large solid angle
             coverage. The amplitudes of the reduced transition matrix
             elements were extracted by means of fits to the data and
             good agreement was found with a recent potential model
             calculation of the splittings of the triplet p-wave

   Title = {Research Opportunities at the Upgraded HIγS},
   Journal = {Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics (2008),
             doi:10.1016/j.ppnp.2008.07.001},
   Year = {2008},
   Abstract = {The High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) is a joint
             project between the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory
             (TUNL) and the Duke Free Electron Laser Laboratory (DFELL).
             This facility utilizes intra-cavity back-scattering of the
             FEL light in order to produce intense gamma-ray beams. An
             upgrade which allows for the production of - gamma-rays up
             to energies of about 150 MeV having total intensities in
             excess of 108/sec is essentially complete. The primary
             component of the upgrade is a 1.2 GeV booster injector which
             makes it possible to replace lost electrons at full energy.
             In addition, an upgrade of the present linear undulator to a
             helical system has made it possible to produce nearly 100%
             linear and circularly polarized beams. The full system was
             commissioned in the early part of 2007. A nuclear physics
             research program using beams at energies below 50 MeV
             commenced in the fall of 2007. The proposed experimental
             program includes low-energy studies of nuclear reactions of
             importance in nuclear astrophysics as well as studies of
             nuclear structure using the technique of nuclear resonance
             fluorescence (NRF). Few-body nuclear physics problems will
             also be addressed by studying photodisintegration of d, 3He
             and 4He. Future doublepolarization experiments include a
             study of the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn Sum Rule for the deuteron
             and 3He, and an extensive Compton scattering program
             designed to probe the internal structure of the nucleon. A
             major focus of these studies will be the measurement of the
             electric and magnetic polarizabilities as well as the
             spinpolarizabilities of the proton and the neutron. Studies
             at pion-threshold designed to test the predictions of Chiral
             Perturbation Theory and to observe Isospin-symmetry breaking
             effects are also being planned. This review will describe
             the principles of operation of the upgraded facility,
             followed by a description of the performance which has been
             achieved to date, and a projection of the performance
             anticipated in the near future. Following this, we will
             review several of the research areas of nuclear physics
             which are accessible using this facility, and describe both
             the results to date and proposed experiments being developed
             for the future.},

   Abstract = {Anomalous hollow electron beams have been recently observed
             in the Duke storage ring. With a single bunch beam in a
             lattice with a negative chromaticity, a hollow beam can be
             created. This beam consists of a solid core beam inside and
             a large ring beam outside. In this paper, we report the
             measurements of the hollow beam phenomenon, including its
             distinct image pattern and spectrum signature, and its
             evolution with time. By capturing the post-instability
             bursting beam, the hollow beam is a unique model system for
             studying transverse instabilities, in particular, the
             interplay of the wakefield and lattice nonlinearity. The
             hollow beam can also be used as a tool to study linear and
             nonlinear particle dynamics in the storage

             ring light source is undergoing several phases of upgrade in
             order to significantly improve its light source capabilities
             and performance. The recent upgrade in 2004 included an
             upgrade of the RF system with a high-order mode damped RF
             cavity and a new 34 meter long straight section lattice
             designed to host new FEL wigglers. This upgrade was
             completed in August 2004, followed by the storage ring and

             of this upgrade project and reports the commissioning

             20ppm in their full operating range. Duke FEL Laboratory
             acquired three out-of-service thyristor controllable power
             supplies (Transrex, 5kA/100V) which was built almost 30
             years ago. The existing archaic firing circuit, lack of any
             output voltage filtering and outdated DCCT, would not be
             able to meet the above requirements.To deliver the desirable
             high performance with very limited funds, all three T-Rex
             power supplies have been completely rebuilt in house at
             DFELL. Modern high stability electronic components and a
             Danfysik DCCT with a high current stability have been used.
             New symmetrical firing circuit, efficient passive LC filter
             and reliable transformer-coupled active filter are used to
             reduce output current ripples to an appropriate level. At

             designed to achieve an optimal and stable operation of the

             mirror's radius of curvature before its initial

             both the third-order spherical aberration and the primary
             chromatic aberration. In order to utilize this concept of
             correction, a beam separator is a prerequisite. Crucial to
             achieving a resolution of 5 nm for the high-resolution mode,
             and a 16-fold increase in throughput at the same resolution
             as its predecessor, PEEM2, specified as 20 nm at 2%
             transmission, for the high flux mode is the double-symmetric
             design of the beam separator, which eliminates all the
             second-order geometric aberrations. Nonetheless, substantial
             tuning capabilities must be incorporated into the PEEM3
             design to compensate for both systematic and random errors.
             In this article, we investigate how to correct for
             nonsystematic imperfections and for systematic uncertainties
             in the accuracy of the magnetic fields and focus on how
             degradation of the resolution and the field of view can be

   Abstract = {The momentum aperture of a storage ring is a very important
             parameter that strongly influences the performance,

             synchrotron light sources with small emittance like the
             Advanced Light Source (ALS), the momentum aperture depends
             strongly on the transverse dynamics. It is very sensitive to
             machine conditions such as the tunes, chromaticities,
             lattice symmetry, and spurious coupling, since depending on
             those conditions the Touschek scattered particles explore
             different resonance regions in the phase space. In light
             sources, the momentum aperture usually also depends strongly
             on the vertical physical aperture. Applying frequency
             analysis techniques in simulations and for turn-by-turn
             orbit measurement data provides a very powerful tool to
             measure and understand limitations of the dynamic momentum
             aperture. The techniques presented are applicable to other

   Abstract = {A state of the art X-ray photoemission electron microscope
             (PEEM2) is operational at the Advanced Light Source at a
             resolution of typically 50 nm for a range of chemical and
             magnetic surface studies. A new microscope, PEEM3, is under
             development with an aim of achieving a resolution of 5 nm
             and more than an order of magnitude increase in transmission
             at the nominal resolution of PEEM2. The resolution and ux
             improvement is realized by providing geometric and chromatic
             aberration compensations in the system using an electron
             mirror and a beam separator magnet. The nearly
             aberration-free design of the beam separator is critical to
             the performance of third generation PEEMs. In this paper, we
             present the optics design model, optimal operation
             parameters, analyses of aberration impact, as well as the
             mechanical alignment tolerance for PEEM3 separator
             prototypes. In particular, we emphasize the importance of a
             new semi-analytical approach to design complex charged
             particle optics using the truncated power series algebra.
             Because of its ability to compute high-order aberrations,
             this approach allows systematic and comprehensive analyses
             of any charged particle optics systems with analytical
             electric and magnetic fields.},

   Abstract = {The goal of the Femtoslicing project at the ALS is to
             provide 100-200 fs long pulses of soft and hard x-rays with

             experiments concerning ultrafast dynamics in solid state
             physics, chemistry and biology. The femtoslicing principle
             employs a femtosecond laser beam to interact resonantly (FEL
             interaction) with the electron beam in the ALS. The induced
             energy spread over the femtosecond duration is converted to
             a transverse displacement by exploiting the dispersion of
             the storage ring. The displaced femtosecond electron pulse
             then radiates and produces femtosecond synchrotron
             radiation. To achieve the necessary spatial separation of
             the energy modulated slice from the rest of the bunch, a
             sizeable local vertical dispersion bump in the undulator
             used as radiator is required. This presents challenges in

             FEL) operates in lasing mode with 193-700 nm wavelength
             range. This range will be extended into VUV in near future.
             The geometry of the Duke SR FEL provides for interacting

             individually power all quadrupoles. Because of the marginal

             connected in series to form magnet families powered by four

   Journal = {Proceedings of PAC2003},
   Year = {2003},
   Month = {Fall},
   Abstract = {At the Duke FEL Lab, we have developed and implemented a new
             storage ring control system based upon physical quantities.
             Most other operational accelerator control systems are base
             on direct controls of various hardware systems, e.g. setting
             a power supply current to control a magnet. Such systems
             present a raw interface to a very complex accelerator and
             need to be supplemented by a high level physics control to
             perform sophisticated operations. The new control system at
             Duke uses an integrated approach to optimize the overall
             system performance, moving many critical high level
             functions to the low level realtime system. This system is
             designed around physical quantities experienced by the beam,
             e.g. magnetic multipole strengths such as the bending angle,
             normalized focusing strength (K1), and sextupole strength
             (K2), all based upon measured magnetic field data. With this
             system, energy ramping and transition between different
             operation modes becomes a trivial task. It also allows us to
             focus on developing high level controls regardless of the
             beam energy. Furthermore, with better understanding of the
             storage ring, we can fine tune our control in the low level
             to present an invariant virtual machine to the operator,

             Intrabeam scattering makes particles sweep a large portion
             of the phase space, where their motion may eventually be
             resonantly or chaotically excited to large amplitudes

             storage ring with horizontal emittance of 1.4 nm rad at an
             energy of 1 GeV. The new lattice was constrained to fit the
             layout of the existing storage ring and to re-use existing
             magnets. Within these constrains, the improvement of the
             emittance (from current 18 nm rad) is possible due to the
             use in the arcs of combined function bending magnets with
             strong dipole, quadrupole and sextuple fields. We present
             the results of 2D and 3D simulations of magnetic fields for
             these magnets. We discuss the choice of the arc's lattice
             cell and the per-cell tune advance. The lattice is based on
             the concept of local compensation of the non-linear
             geometrical aberrations. Preliminary studies of the dynamic
             aperture for this lattice are very encouraging. We briefly

   Abstract = {The lifetime of a light source with small emittance like the
             Advanced Light Source (ALS) is usually limited by the

             are reached by providing enough RF voltage and by avoiding a
             degradation of the dynamic momen-tum aperture. At the ALS
             the size of the momentum ac-ceptance depends strongly on the

             the 66 m circumference ring is atop the existing ALS booster
             synchrotron shielding. This area provides enough floor space
             for both the ring and beamlines, and hutches. We plan to
             operate the ring in two modes: as a conventional light
             source and as a superradiant source in the far-IR. In the
             conventional mode, our design allows greater transmission of
             light at longer wavelengths in the far-infrared than typical
             light sources and significantly improves beam stability. In
             the superradiant mode, we hope to achieve coherent emission
             of synchrotron radiation over the 200-1000 µm wavelength
             range by shortening the bunches at very low bunch
             current.},

   Abstract = {Intra-beam scattering (IBS) potentially limits the mini-mum
             emittance of low-energy storage rings, and this ef-fect
             strongly influences the choice of energy of damping rings
             for linear colliders. The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is a
             third-generation synchrotron light source oper-ating with
             high-intensity, low-emittance beams at energies up to 2 GeV.
             It can operate with an emittance coupling of below 1%. We
             present measurements of the beam growth in three dimensions
             as a function of current, for normal-ized natural horizontal
             emittances of approximately 1 - 10 mm-mrad at energies of
             0.7 - 1.5 GeV, values compara-ble to the parameters in an
             NLC damping ring [1]. Using a dedicated diagnostic beamline
             with an x-ray scintillator imaging system, measurements of
             the transverse beamsize are made, simultaneously with bunch
             length measurements using an optical streak camera. The
             bunch volume growth as a function of bunch current is
             compared with theoretical estimates, for a parameter space
             of IBS, where very little experimental data exists so
             far.},

   Abstract = {To achieve the required damping time in the main damping
             rings for the Next Linear Collider (NLC), a wiggler will be
             required in each ring with integrated squared field strength
             up to 110 T 2 m [1]. There are concerns that nonlinear
             components of the wiggler field will damage the dynamic
             aperture of the ring, leading to poor injection efficiency.
             Severe effects from an insertion device have been observed
             and corrected in SPEAR 2 [2]. In this paper, we describe a
             model that we have developed to study the effects of the
             damping wiggler, compare the predictions of the model with
             actual experience in the case of the SPEAR 2 wiggler, and
             consider the predicted effects of current damping wiggler
             design on the NLC main damping rings.},

             modes with electron energies ranging from 300 to 750 MeV
             have been established to accommodate application researches.
