Coherent Radiation of Electron Cloud
نویسنده
چکیده
The electron cloud in positron storage rings is pinched when a bunch passes by. For short bunches, the radiation due to acceleration of electrons of the cloud is coherent. Detection of such radiation can be used to measure the density of the cloud. The estimate of the power and the time structure of the radiated signal is given in this paper. ∗Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE–AC02–76SF00515.

Electron cloud dynamics in the Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator wiggler
The interference of stray electrons (also called ‘‘electron clouds’’) with accelerator beams is important in modern intense-beam accelerators, especially those with beams of positive charge. In magnetic wigglers, used, for instance, for transverse emittance damping, the intense synchrotron radiation produced by the beam can generate an electron cloud of relatively high density. In this paper th...
متن کاملStudy of Coherent Tune Shift Caused by Electron Cloud in Positron Storage Rings
We discuss the transverse betatron tune shift of the coherent dipole motion of a beam interacting with an electron cloud. A positron beam which passes through a frozen charge distribution experiences an electric field, which shifts its tune in the positive direction. The electrons in the actual cloud are not frozen, but move during the bunch passage. Thus, the electron distribution varies due t...
متن کاملSub-picosecond electron bunch length measurement by terahertz radiation S.Zhang S.Benson D.Douglas M.Shinn and G.Williams
This paper presents the measurement of sub-picosecond relativistic electron beam bunch length by analyzing the spectra of the coherent terahertz pulses through Kramers-Kronig transformation. The results are compared with autocorrelation from a scanning polarization autocorrelator that measures the coherent optical transition radiation. The limitations of the different methods to such a characte...

The possibility of inserting an optical klystron on the storage ring of an Iranian Light Source Facility as a Synchrotron Radiation Free electron Laser for coherence harmonic generation in the soft x-ray spectrum has been studied. The study has been performed using the 3D FEL simulation code GENESIS 1.3 and in accordance with the available characteristic parameters of ISLF. Different potential ...
متن کاملObservation of coherent terahertz edge radiation from compressed electron beams
Coherent radiation emitted from a compressed electron bunch as it traverses the sharp edge regions of a magnetic chicane has been investigated at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility. Electron beam measurements using coherent transition radiation interferometry indicate a 100 fs rms bunch accompanied by distinct distortions in energy spectrum due to strong self-fields. T...
