Description

The Linac Coherent Light Source superconducting linac (LCLS-SC) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, built during the LCLS-II project, has been in operation since 2023, with user experimental delivery commencing in 2024. In 2026, the LCLS-II-HE project is adding 23 additional 1.3 GHz cryomodules, bringing the LCLS-SC maximum electron beam energy from 4 GeV to 8 GeV. This poster will provide an overview of operational experiences, challenges, and performance analysis of the SRF cavities and associated systems during the first few years of LCLS-SC operation and their impact on beam dynamics and stability.
