Popis: SwissFEL is a linear electron accelerator based, X-ray Free Electron Laser at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. It is a user oriented facility capable of producing short, high brightness X-ray pulses covering the spectral range from 1 to 50 Å. SwissFEL is designed to run in two electron bunch mode in order to serve simultaneously two experimental beamline stations (hard and soft X-ray one) at its full repetition rate. Two closely spaced (28 ns) electron bunches are accelerated in one RF macro pulse up to 3 GeV. A high stability resonant kicker system and a Lambertson septum magnet are used to separate the bunches and to send them to their respective beamlines. With the advancement of the construction of the second beamline (Athos) the bunch-separation system was successfully commissioned. In order to confirm that the beam separation process is fully transparent a stability study of the electron beam and the free electron laser in the main beamline (Aramis) was done.
