TI - Progress Towards EEHG Seeding at the DELTA Storage Ring J2 - Proc. of IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand, 12-17 June 2022 CY - Bangkok, Thailand T2 - International Particle Accelerator Conference T3 - 13 LA - english AB - Seeding of free-electron lasers (FELs) with external laser pulses triggers the microbunching process such that the spectrotemporal properties of coherently emitted FEL radiation are under better control compared to self-amplified spontaneous emission. High-gain harmonic generation (HGHG) based on the interaction of electrons with a single laser pulse is routinely applied at a few FELs, and echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) with a twofold laser-electron interaction has been demonstrated. Both schemes can be adopted in storage rings for the coherent emission of ultrashort radiation pulses. Coherent harmonic generation (CHG) is the counterpart to HGHG without FEL gain. It has been employed at several storage rings and presently provides ultrashort pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet regime at the 1.5-GeV electron storage ring DELTA operated by the TU Dortmund University. EEHG, which allows to reach higher harmonics of the seed wavelength, has not yet been implemented at any storage ring but is pursued at DELTA as an upgrade plan. The paper presents the layout of the envisaged EEHG facility, and it reviews simulation studies and the technical progress towards EEHG seeding at DELTA.
