Beam compression experiments using the UCLA/ATF compressor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent experimental results from the BNL ATF using the compressor built by UCLA. The measurements discussed include: first observation of short wavelength coherent edge radiation angular/wavelength spectrum and spectrum, sub-100 fsec pulse-length coherent transition autocorrelation measurements, and longitudinal and transverse phase space distortions. Extension of these measurements, as well as those which can be made possible by a new X-band traveling wave deflector being developed in an industrial collaboration, are examined.

Calculation of Coherent Radiation from Ultra-short Electron Beams Using a Liénard-Wiechert Based Simulation Code
The coherent radiation emitted by electrons in high brightness beam-based experiments is important from the viewpoints of both radiation source development, and the understanding and diagnosing the basic physical processes important in beam manipulations at high intensity. While much theoretical work has been developed to aid in calculating aspects of this class of radiation, these methods do n...
متن کاملDesign of Bunch Compressing System with Suppression of Coherent Synchrotron Radiation for Atf Upgrade
One of the operation modes for Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) upgrade is to provide high peak current, high quality electron beam for users. Such operation requires a bunch compressing system with a very large compression ratio. The CSR originating from the strong compressors generally could greatly degrade the quality of the electron beam. In this paper, we present our design for the entire b...
متن کاملChirped pulse amplification at VISA-FEL
Chirped beam manipulations are of the great interest to the FEL (Free Electron Laser) community as potential means of obtaining ultra short X-ray pulses. The experiment is under way at the ATF (Accelerator Test Facility) at BNL (Brookhaven National Laboratory) to study the FEL process limits with the under-compressed chirped electron beam. High gain near-saturation SASE operation was achieved w...
متن کاملBeam Shaping and Compression Scheme for the Ucla Neptune Laboratory*
We have recently added a dispersionless translating section to the UCLA Neptune linear accelerator beamline. This new section of beamline will serve as a venue for beam shaping and compression experiments using the 14MeV electron beam produced by the UCLA Neptune PWT linac and newly installed photoinjector. An examination of the first and second-order optics indicates that when certain nonlinea...
متن کاملProducing and Measuring Small Electron Bunches
Significant progress has been made in the last few years in ultra-short and high-brightness electron beam production and measurements. For many applications, such as laser and high-frequency RF (W-band) accelerators, and high-gain harmonic generation free electron laser, electron beams with bunch length and transverse emittance smaller than optical wavelength are required. The status of such sm...
