Abstract :
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) project at SLAC uses a dense 15 GeV electron beam passing through a long undulator to generate extremely bright x-rays at 1.5 angstroms. The project requires electron bunches with a nominal peak current of 3.5 kA and bunch lengths of 0.020 mm (70 fs). The RF stability required by the bunch compressors is tighter than what is currently required to run experiments. Measurements to determine how well the existing linac will meet the new requirements are ongoing. Presented is an update on the measurements and how they pertain to LCLS
