IP Area Reconfiguration Conceptual Design Five Phases: 1.Transport (A) 2.Gas Chamber 3.Injection Chamber 4.Compressor 5.Transport (B) M. Litos July 24, 2014

General Motivations Need more space in key locations for all non- E200 laser experiments, especially diagnostic applications Need more independent control of low intensity beams (relative to high intensity), including attenuation, timing, and compression Need to have appropriate delay between high intensity and low intensity beams Need to be able to couple low intensity beams into experimental gas chamber Need more accommodating working space Need more flexible / modular experimental setup

Direct Quote from E224 Requirements: “[They need the] ability to control probe size, delay, energy, and duration, independently of the main ionizing laser pulse. This will require splitting a portion of the main laser beam before the current compressor, the construction of a second compressor, an adjustable delay line, resizing optics, and wave front tilting prism or grating setup. All of this would require additional delay for the main, ionizing pulse. The probe profile would be more uniform than in the clipping approach used now, and the axicon focus would not be disturbed.”

Additional Useful Upgrades Fast and easy remote transport alignment Keep transport aligned during experimental shifts and PAMMs Allow non-SLAC laser users to easily align transport without help High power in tunnel during access Only prevented by RP Needed for precise alignment of low intensity beams Two modes: high power w/o axicon low power w/ axicon Remote aperture control for high power (or low power) beam For alignment For experiment EOS as laser/e-beam timing feedback e-beam phase cavity diagnostic

Additional Considerations THz probe beam setup PHASE 1 should accommodate nicely Witness beam photo-injector Other experiments??

Phase 3: Injection Chamber very useful for oven, useful for gas, can be done before next run Phase 4: Compressor very useful, can be done before next run, but contingent upon Injection Chamber Phase 5: Transport (B) probably useful, can be done by Jan., but contingent upon Compressor Synopsis
