Bunched Beam Neutralization

Bunched Beam Cooling for the Fermilab Tevatron

Fermilab has been working on bunched beam transverse stochastic cooling in the Tevatron since 1990. In that time much progress has been made in understanding the difficulties of making such a system work with reasonable cooling times. Problems with common mode rejection of longitudinal signals, wide band GHz signal transmission using fiber optics, and specialized optical techniques of recursive...

Bunched Beam Injection in a Plasma Accelerator

An experiment on phase-locked injection of ~ 100 fs electron bunches in a plasma beat wave accelerator is presented. We consider using an IFEL microbunching technique to produce ultrashort electron bunches prebunched at the exact wavelength of the plasma wave 340 Jim (~lTHz). It is proposed to generate 100 MW of 1 THz radiation by difference frequency generation in a nonlinear crystal, mixing t...

Effect of Parametric Resonances on the Bunched-beam Dilution Mechanism

Linear Vlasov Analysis for Stability of a Bunched Beam∗

We study the linearized Vlasov equation for a bunched beam subject to an arbitrary wake function. Following Oide and Yokoya, the equation is reduced to an integral equation expressed in angle-action coordinates of the distorted potential well. Numerical solution of the equation as a formal eigenvalue problem leads to difficulties, because of singular eigenmodes from the incoherent spectrum. We ...

Schottky Signals for Longitudinal and Transverse Bunched Beam Diagnostics

Following a brief historical overview on the origin and the evolution of Schottky noise we discuss applications in the field of beam diagnostics in particle accelerators. A very important aspect of Schottky diagnostics is the fact that it is a non perturbing method. Essentially statistics based, it permits to extract beam relevant information from rms (root mean square) noise related to the mov...
