Low Sensitivity Option for Transverse Optics of the FLASH Linac at DESY

The aim of the FLASH linac is to create electron bunches of small transverse emittance and high current for the free electron laser facility FLASH at DESY. Available operational experience indicates that in order to optimize SASE signal at different wavelengths or to fine-tune the FEL wavelength, empirical adjustment of the machine parameters is required and, therefore, the sensitivity of the beamline to small changes in the beam energy and in the magnet settings becomes one of the important issues which affects both, the final performance and the reproducibility of the results after breaks in operation. In this article the transverse optics of the FLASH beamline with low sensitivity to changes in beam energy and quadrupole settings is presented. This optics is in operation since spring 2006 and has shown a superior performance with respect to the previous setup of the transverse focusing.
