Abstract

LBNL is developing design concepts for a multibeamline soft x-ray FEL array powered bya superconducting linear accelerator, operating with a high bunch repetition rate ofapproximately one MHz [1-3]. The CW superconducting linear accelerator is supplied by aninjector based on a high-brightness, high-repetitionrate photocathode electron gun.Electron bunches are distributed from the linac to the array of independently configurableFEL beamlines with nominal bunch rates up to 100 kHz in each FEL, and with even pulsespacing. Individual FELs may be configured for different modes of operation, and each mayproduce high peak and average brightness x-rays with a flexible pulse format, and withpulse durations ranging from sub-femtoseconds to hundreds of femtoseconds. In this paper wedescribe conceptual design studies and optimizations. We describe recent developments inthe design and performance parameters, and progress in R&D activities.
