abstract = {In this thesis, it is shown that ocean-generated microseism
significantly impacts the synchronisation performance of the
European X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL), which is based on
a high-energy linear accelerator. Using superconducting
technology, it generates hard X-ray pulses at megahertz
frequencies. Arrival time stability refers to the precision
and consistency of the timing of the X-ray pulses, ensuring
that they arrive at the target with minimal variation in
their temporal alignment. Ocean-generated microseism is
low-frequency seismic noise caused by the interaction of
ocean waves with the seabed. Distributed acoustic sensing
(DAS) is a technology that turns optical fibres into a
sensor array for monitoring acoustic signals along their
length. By measuring tiny changes in light reflection caused
by acoustic disturbances, DAS can provide real-time
information about vibrations over long distances.Notably,
the bunch arrival time monitors (BAM) show noise between
0.05 Hz and 0.5 Hz, which has a significant impact on the
arrival time stability at European XFEL. The impact can be
more than 25 fs peak-to-peak. By correlating European XFEL
bunch arrival time data with seismic DAS measurements, it is
shown that the noise is of seismic origin. Next, both
primary and secondary ocean-generated microseism were
identified using seismometers and a numerical ocean wave
model. Whereas secondary microseism has a strong impact on
the bunch arrival time, primary microseism has no notable
effect. This is attributed not only to the smaller
amplitudes of secondary microseism but also to the fact that
primary microseism has a higher Love wave to Rayleigh wave
ratio. The effect on the bunch arrival time is caused by
Rayleigh waves, while Love waves have a negligible influence
on the bunch arrival time. In the presented cases, the noise
originates from the North Atlantic and/or the North Sea. The
amplitude of the noise depends on the weather conditions in
the North Sea and the North Atlantic and is generally much
stronger in winter. In conclusion, this work shows that
ocean-generated microseism is a significant bottleneck that
must be addressed to achieve femtosecond bunch arrival time
stability.},
