Wakefield-based Dechirper Structures for Elbe

چکیده
The efficient reduction of the pulse length and the energy width of electron beams plays a crucial role in the generation of short pulses in the range of sub-picoseconds at future light sources. At the radiation source ELBE in DresdenRossendorf short pulses are required for coherent THz generation and laser-electron beam interaction experiments such as X-ray Thomson scattering. Energy dechirping can be carried out passively by wakefields generated when the electron beam passes through suitable structures, namely corrugated and dielectrically lined cylindrical pipes or dielectrically lined rectangular waveguides. All structures offer the possibility to tune the resulting wakefield and therefore the resulting energy chirp through a variation of purely geometrical or material parameters. In this paper we present a semi-analytical approach to determine the wakefield in dielectrically lined rectangular waveguide, starting with the expression of the electric field in terms of the structure’s eigenmodes.

Optimization of the Dechirper for Electron Bunches of Arbitrary Longitudial Shapes*
Dechirper is a passive device composed of a vacuum chamber of two corrugated, metallic plates with an adjustable gap. By introducing a small offset in the dechirper with respect to the reference axis, one might generate transverse wakefields and use the dechirper as a deflector. Understanding the interactions between electron beams of various longitudinal shapes with the wakefields generated by...
متن کاملStudies of Beam Induced Dipole-Mode Signals in Accelerating Structures at the SLC
Beam emittance dilution by self induced transverse elds (wake elds) in accelerating structures is a key problem in linear accelerators. To minimize the wake eld e ects the beam trajectory must be precisely centered within the structures. An e cient way to achieve this is to detect beam induced microwave signals in the lowest dipole mode band and to steer the beam by minimizing these signals. Th...
متن کاملTHz RADIATION GENERATION IN MULTIMODE WAKEFIELD STRUCTURES*
A number of methods for producing sub-picosecond electron bunches have been demonstrated in recent years. A train of these bunches is capable of generating THz radiation via multiple mechanisms like transition, Cherenkov and undulator radiation. We propose to use a bunch train like this to selectively excite a high order mode in a dielectric wakefield structure. This allows us to use wakefield ...

Wakefield acceleration in dielectric loaded structures is discussed in this paper. We present a description of the dielectric wakefield accelerator concept, comparing some features of the collinear and the two beam accelerator configurations. The Argonne Wakefield Accelerator Facility (AWA) is discussed in detail, including major upgrades that are presently taking place. The basic features and ...
متن کاملWakefield excitation in multimode structures by a train of electron bunches.
We discuss wakefield excitation and propagation in dielectric structures, particularly concentrating on the case of multiple drive beam excitation in multimoded structures. We emphasize calculations of the energy loss of the drive beam train, the amplitude of the wakefield, and the relationship between power flow and stored energy in the dielectric wakefield device. We show that for a collinear...
