Description

Cavity-based XFEL, or CBXFEL, is a future photon source concept under intense development at SLAC. It is considered a path towards full 3D coherence at angstrom wavelength, delivering another 2-3 orders of magnitude leap in source brightness compared to current XFELs configurations. In a first phase of the project, one of the goals is to demonstrate the regenerative amplification by returning and amplifying the seed pulse from 7 LCLS Hard X-ray Undulators (HXUs) with a rectangular crystal cavity. In this paper, we report on the recent measurement of early stage XFEL lasing characteristics at 9.831 keV photon energy by using 7 LCLS HXUs under e-beam conditions close to those chosen for the first phase of CBXFEL gain demonstration.
