چکیده
High-power, relativistic electron beams from energy-recovering linacs have great potential to realize new experimental paradigms for pioneering innovation in fundamental and applied research. A major design consideration for this new generation of experimental capabilities is the understanding of the halo associated with these bright, intense beams. In this Letter, we report on measurements performed using the 100 MeV, 430 kW cw electron beam from the energy-recovering linac at the Jefferson Laboratory's Free Electron Laser facility as it traversed a set of small apertures in a 127 mm long aluminum block. Thermal measurements of the block together with neutron measurements near the beam-target interaction point yielded a consistent understanding of the beam losses. These were determined to be 3 ppm through a 2 mm diameter aperture and were maintained during a 7 h continuous run.

Measured radiation and background levels during transmission of megawatt electron beams through millimeter apertures
We report measurements of photon and neutron radiation levels observed while transmitting a 0.43 MW electron beam through millimeter-sized apertures and during beam-off, but accelerating gradient RF-on, operation. These measurements were conducted at the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) facility of the Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory (JLab) using a 100 MeV electron beam from an energy-recove...

Investigations of the Smith-Purcell radiation (SPR) were began with non-relativistic electron beams with some unexpected experimental results. Further the experimental investigations were performed with relativistic electron beams for application to beam diagnostics. Large discrepancy between different theoretical models significantly increases the role of experimental studies of this phenomeno...

The generation of coherent Terahertz (THz) radiation is studied which is produced from moving the relativistic electron beam through a helical wiggler with axial magnetic field. The relativistic electron beam is modulated via interacts with the beat wave of two laser beams that have frequency difference in THz range. When the modulated relativistic beam of electrons go through the helical wiggl...
متن کاملApplication of a Secondary-Electron Transmission Monitor for High- Precision Intensity Measurements of Relativistic Heavy-Ion Beams
The application of a secondary-electron transmission monitor for high-precision intensity measurements of relativistic heavy-ion beams is investigated. The basic requirements, a strictly linear response as a function of beam intensity and a reliable absolute calibration are discussed on the basis of experimental data. Statistical fluctuations and systematic uncertainties of the calibration meth...
