<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi, one of the items from yesterday's</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">t-474</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">meeting was to get an update on what to expect from lcls beams this year regarding charge and how beam time sharing with lcls commissioning would work. Some exchange with Paul Emma on this is given below. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Additional input will come after Stew and Nigel discuss their manpower available for a</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">t474/t480</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">run and for the analysis. Would also be useful to know what Michele's plans are. It seems like Sergey will be</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">completing his thesis,</FONT> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">graduating and moving on from information Bino provided. We had some discussion that if we ran we might not use the magnets for T-474, though I would find this quite perplexing for motivation as the goal is to demonstrate spectrometer performance.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We'll try to converge on a run scenario by email. But if necessary we can have a further phone discussion Thursday at 8am slac time. mike</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Paul, quick update on our thinking for ilc tests this spring, looking at a run in late may or early june:</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. Minimally we want to request 1 week of beamtime in late may. Main purpose would be to get additional data for T-487 Smith-Purcell bunch length diagnostics test.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">at ~1nC should satisfy them. And would want to provide a range of bunch lengths to study (I can consult with you later on setup for that). We'd likely want to do</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">some TCAV measurements to assist this.</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. Still under discussion is to have an additional run for the bpm energy spectrometer and collimator wakefield people. These involve more preparation and setup work </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">and have higher demands on beam parameters and stability. If we do this it would add at least a week to the run request. Still taking stock of people available,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">how compelling this is, etc. Helpful to this discussion would be additional info you might be able to provide: </FONT></SPAN></P>

<BR><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- transverse emittance at end of Linac (anything at 10 mm-mrad or less is terrific for our use)</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hoping to converge on our request by end of the week (had hoped to have converged by now ...) and will be discussing with Roger E. and John Seeman etc.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Am sensitive that cumulative requests for what's described above and additional tests can be an issue, since there are also undulator damage tests and secondary beam tests for detector R&D desired.

I also expect the T-487 test is not very disruptive as their beam requirements are not so demanding. </FONT></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi Mike,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This all sounds quite possible, but I am not yet sure what other beam time requests will come.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- how many hours per day can we be the primary user? 8? 12? Can we have at least 1 weekend as primary user?</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I can imagine 8-12 without much trouble. And yes, a weekend or two will be no problem.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- expected charge when we're primary user -- 1nC? A couple shifts at higher charge of 1e10?</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1 nC is no trouble. Higher is possible but there are tradeoffs (we must also fully recover from April gun work).</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- stability issues: energy jitter, intensity jitter, phase stability,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Charge jitter is <2% rms. Energy jitter is currently 0.4% rms (50 MeV). Phase (beam timing jitter) looks like about 0.1 deg of S-band now. Akre fixed the phase-lock loop last week, and the effect was dramatic (was 0.5 deg rms and more)!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- transverse emittance at end of Linac (anything at 10 mm-mrad or less is terrific for our use)</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Transverse emittance is still variable (1-5 mm-mrad), but <10 mm-mrad is easy.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<BR>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I hope this helps.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks,</FONT></SPAN>
