Description
The Linac Coherent Light Source superconducting linac (LCLS-SC) at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, built during the LCLS-II project, has now been in operation for the past three years, with user experimental delivery commencing in 2024. In 2026, the LCLS-II-HE project will add 23 additional 1.3 GHz cryomodules, bringing the LCLS-SC maximum electron beam energy from 4 GeV to 8 GeV. This talk 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, performance improvements in preparation for LCLS-II-HE, as well as the LCLS-II-HE cryomodule performance test results.
