Abstract

The Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) is a design concept, under development at LBNL, for a 10-beamline x-ray FEL array powered by a superconducting linear accelerator of ∼2 GeV, operating with a 1 MHz bunch repetition rate. The CW superconducting linear accelerator is supplied by a high-brightness, high-repetition-rate photocathode electron gun. Beam is distributed from the linac to the array of independently configurable FEL beamlines with nominal bunch rates up to 100 kHz, with even pulse spacing. Individual FELs may be configured for EEHG, HGHG, SASE, or oscillator mode of operation, and will produce high peak and average brightness x-rays with a flexible pulse format ranging from sub-femtoseconds to hundreds of femtoseconds.
