Emittance Control for Very Short Bunches∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Many recent accelerator projects call for the production of high energy bunches of electrons or positrons that are simultaneously short, intense, and have small emittances. Examples of such projects are the Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) FEL’s, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). A major challenge is keeping in check forces that increase beam emittances in accelerator components, such as: wakefields of accelerator structures and surface roughness, and coherent synchrotron radiation. We describe such forces and discuss emittance control.

The Slac Low Emittance Accelerator Test Facility
SLAC is proposing to build a new Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) capable of producing a 50 MeV electron beam with an extremely low geometric tran8ver8e emittance (1.5 x lo-lo rad.m) for the purpose of teeting new methods of acceleration. The low emittance will be achieved by a88ernbling a liiur accelerator using one standard SLAC three-meter r&ion and a 400 kV electron gun with a very rmall pho...
متن کاملA muon collider scenario based on stochastic cooling
The most severe limitation to the muon production for a large-energy muon collider is the short time allowed for cooling the beam to dimensions small enough to provide reasonably high luminosity . The limitation is caused by the short lifetime of the particles that, for instance, at the energy of 100 GeV is of only 2.2 ms . Moreover, it appears to be desirable to accelerate the beam quickly, wi...
متن کاملGenerating high-brightness electron beams via ionization injection by transverse colliding lasers in a plasma-wakefield accelerator.
The production of ultrabright electron bunches using ionization injection triggered by two transversely colliding laser pulses inside a beam-driven plasma wake is examined via three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The relatively low intensity lasers are polarized along the wake axis and overlap with the wake for a very short time. The result is that the residual momentum of the ionize...
متن کاملOutput Beam Characteristics of 150 Mev Microtron
Sub-picosecond electron pulses are desirable for generating femtosecond X-ray pulses. By numerical simulation, it has become clear that racetrack microtron (RTM) has unique features to produce very short electron bunches by itself. In addition, it has proved experimentally that RTM has beneficial characteristics to accelerate only an excellent quality beam in both emittance and energy spread. T...
متن کاملCharacterization of laser-driven single and double electron bunches with a permanent magnet quadrupole triplet and pepper-pot mask
Electron beams from laser-plasma wakefield accelerators have low transverse emittance, comparable to those from conventional radio frequency accelerators, which highlights their potential for applications, many of which will require the use of quadrupole magnets for optimal electron beam transport. We report on characterizing electron bunches where double bunches are observed under certain cond...
