The progress of the Beijing IR-FEL project carried out at IHEP is reported. Some specific developments of software and hardware are described, rather than striving for general coverage. First, computational studies of the effects of emittance and pulse length on the small-signal gain are presented. Then some experimental results for the microwave electron gun injector are given. Modifications of the beam transport system and the optimization and measurements of the NdFeB undulator are described. Finally, some aspects of the beam diagnostics and a spontaneous-emission experiment are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
