Abstract
The parameters for a 30 GeV test beam are outlined for use with an undulator in the FFTB tunnel where the LCLS will eventually be housed. It is proposed to use the SLAC linac and damping rings in their present mode of operation for PEP II injection, where 30 GeV beams are also delivered at 10 Hz to the FFTB. High peak currents are obtained with the addition of a second bunch compressor in the linac. In order to minimize the synchrotron radiation induced emittance growth in the bunch compressor it is necessary to locate the new bunch compressor at the low-energy end of the linac, just after the damping rings. The bunch compressor is a duplicate of the LCLS chicane-style bunch compressor. This test beam would provide an exciting possibility to test LCLS undulator sections and provide a unique high-brightness source of incoherent X-rays and begin developing the LCLS experimental station. The facility will also act as a much needed accelerator test bed for the production, diagnostics and tuning of very short bunches in preparation for the LCLS after the photo injector is commissioned.
