Timing Jitter Measurements at the Slc Electron Source’
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SLC thermionic gun and electron source produce a beam of up to 15 x 10” ein a single S-band bunch. A 170 keV, 2 ns FWHM pulse out of the gun is compressed by means of two subharmonic buncher cavities followed by an S-band buncher and a standard SLAC accelerating section. Ceramic gaps in the beam pipe at the output of the gun allow a measure of the beam intensity and timing. A measurement at these gaps of the timing jitter, with a resolution of < 10 ps, is described.

Timing Stabilization for the Slc Electron
The timing stability required for the SLC electron source is determined by the energy acceptance of the electron damping ring. The jitter requirements for the gun pulse itself are somewhat mitigated by the subsequent bunching process. The design of the system by which a gun pulse stability of u 20 ps is achieved is described, and experiments,to measure the resulting energy stability under vario...
متن کاملLong-Range Wakefields and Split-Tune Lattice at the SLC
At the SLC, a train consisting of one positron bunch fo l lowed by two electron bunches is accelerated in the linac, each separated by about 60 ns. Long-range transverse wakef ields from the leading bunch were found to cause up to a factor o f three increase in beam jitter for the trailing bunches. Incoming jitter is efficiently damped by BNS damping, but excitations in the middle of the linac ...
متن کاملThe Polarized Electron Source of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center*
The Stanford Linear Accelerator has been running with polarized electrons both in the collider (SLC) mode and in the fixed target mode. The accelerator's polarized electron source is based on a thin, strained GaAs photocathode, which is held at a negative high voltage and illuminated by a Titanium Sapphire laser. The reliability of the source was better than 95% during the eight-month-long 1993...
متن کاملNoise and stability of actively modelocked fiber lasers
The timing jitter of a modelocked laser is fundamentally limited by the amplified spontaneous emission in the laser cavity. While one cannot, even in principle, remove this source of noise, one does have control over the pulse timing by using filtering and modulation. In this thesis, we report on the advances made in developing the understanding of timing jitter and stability in actively modelo...
متن کاملPossible Sources of Pulse-To-Pulse Orbit Variation in the SLAC Linac
Pulse-to-pulse variation of the transverse beam orbit, frequently referred to as ' jitter' , has long been a major problem in SLC operation. It impairs the SLC luminosity both by reducing the average beam overlap at the IP and by hampering precision tuning of the final focus. The origin of the fast orbit variation is not fully understood. Measurements during the 1994/95 SLC run showed that it i...
