Single-bunch imaging of detonation fronts using scattered synchrotron radiation

Stability of cosmological detonation fronts.

We present results of a linear stability analysis of relativistic detonation fronts, which have been considered as representing phase interfaces in cosmological first order phase transitions. After discussing general stability conditions for detonation fronts, we concentrate on the properties of the fronts with respect to corrugation instabilities and discuss separately the cases of Chapman-Jou...

Novel Single Shot Bunch Length Diagnostic Using Coherent Diffraction Radiation

Current beam bunch length monitors that measure the spectral content of beam-associated coherent radiation to determine the longitudinal bunch form factor usually require wide bandwidth detection, Fourier transformation of spectral or interferometric data, phase retrieval algorithms and multiple beam pulses to obtain the bunch length. In this paper we discuss progress in the development of a no...

Single Bunch Radiation Loss Studies at Slac

The experiments described in this paper have been prompted by interest in the radiation loss of relativistic electron rings passing through periodic structures. In these experiments, single bunches of electrons with intensities up to log particles per bunch are accelerated through the SLAC three-kilometer accelerator and their energy spectrum is analyzed. Although only a limited number of measu...

X-ray analog pixel array detector for single synchrotron bunch time-resolved imaging.

Dynamic X-ray studies can reach temporal resolutions limited by only the X-ray pulse duration if the detector is fast enough to segregate synchrotron pulses. An analog integrating pixel array detector with in-pixel storage and temporal resolution of around 150 ns, sufficient to isolate pulses, is presented. Analog integration minimizes count-rate limitations and in-pixel storage captures succes...
