Overview: The Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS-II) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is a groundbreaking project aimed at advancing the capabilities of free-electron laser sources. Building on the success of the original Linac Coherent Light Source, the LCLS-II project features a 4 GeV continuous-wave (CW) superconducting linear accelerator situated within the first kilometer of the SLAC linear accelerator tunnel.
Technical Highlights:
- Superconducting Linear Accelerator: The LCLS-II system includes a state-of-the-art 4 GeV CW superconducting linear accelerator, designed to deliver unparalleled performance in terms of beam quality and stability.
- Dipole Magnet Integration: A key component of the LCLS-II is the 1.26D103.3T dipole magnet, which plays a crucial role in the linac to undulator (LTU) magnetic optical lattice. This magnet is essential for achieving the precise bending of the electron beam required for optimal operation of the free-electron laser.
Impact: The LCLS-II project represents a significant leap forward in the field of accelerator technology and free-electron lasers. By enhancing the capabilities of the existing LCLS, it opens up new possibilities for scientific research, including studies in material science, biology, and fundamental physics. The advanced superconducting technology and precision magnetic systems underscore Alpha Magnetics’ commitment to innovation and excellence in high-energy physics applications.
