We report the generation of GW-level attosecond pump/probe pulse pairs with tunable sub-femtosecond delays at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The attosecond 370 eV pump pulse is first generated via the Enhanced Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ESASE) method, then the attosecond 740 eV probe pulse is produced by re-amplifying the electron beam microbunching after the magnetic chicane. Due to the harmonic amplification, the minimal delay between pump-probe pulse pairs (limited by slippage between the light field and the electron bunch) can be shorter than 1 femtosecond. We use the angular streaking technique to measure temporal delays between pump/probe pulse pairs at multiple beamline configurations. When the delay chicane is turned off, the averaged delay is increased by ~150 attoseconds by adding one undulator module for probe pulses. Long delays can be set up by turning the delay chicane on. These experimental results are in agreement with start-to-end XFEL simulations. Looking toward future experiments, our sub-femtosecond pump/probe technique can be applied to observe electronic charge dynamics in molecular systems.

  We report on our investigations into density fluctuations in electron bunches. Noise and density fluctuations in relativistic electron bunches, accelerated in a linac, are of critical importance to various Coherent Electron Cooling (CEC) concepts as well as to free-electron lasers (FELs). For CEC, the beam noise results in additional diffusion that counteracts cooling. In SASE FELs, a microwave instability starts from the initial noise in the beam and eventually leads to the beam microbunching yielding coherent radiation, and the initial noise in the FEL bandwidth plays a useful role. In seeded FELs, in contrast, such noise interferes with the seed signal, so that reducing noise at the initial seed wavelength would lower the seed laser power requirement. Status of the project will be presented.

We present connectable designs of superconducting undulators (SCU) and cryomodules (CM) based on previous SCU and CM designs at Argonne National Lab. The new SCU and CM designs will allow us to connect one CM to the next to form a contiguous line of SCUs with no breaks between the cryomodules. The SCU design will have correctors and phase shifters integrated into the main SCU magnet core, as well as external corrector magnets for trajectory corrections. There will also be a cryogenic magnetic quadrupole and a cold RF beam position monitor (BPM) integrated in the SCU CM. In addition to providing the usual FODO transverse focusing, the quadrupole and BPM will be used for the beam-based alignment technique that is critical for X-ray FEL operation. In this paper, we will present the conceptual design of the new SCU CM as well as results of FEL simulations using the SCUs as afterburners for the LCLS hard X-ray undulators.
