Figure 7
The effect of space charge on measured wavelength as a function of target gas pressure, FLASH2 repetition rate and beam size. The panels show wavelength results for the 30 bunches of the pulse train at = 13.5 nm for different target gas pressures. (a) A considerable wavelength shift increasing over the pulse train is found at high repetition rate of 1 MHz and a large aperture (uncropped beam). (b) Reduced space charge effect when the beam size is reduced by means of a smaller aperture. (c) Almost no space charge effect if, in addition, the repetition rate is lowered to 100 kHz. The residual slope of λ along the bunch train in the curves for reflects a real trend in FEL wavelength. For all measurements the bunch wavelength tool described in §3.1 has been used. |
