THz BURSTING THRESHOLDS MEASURED AT THE METROLOGY LIGHT SOURCE
نویسندگان
چکیده
At the Metrology Light Source (MLS) [1] owned by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) the bunch length can be varied by more than two orders of magnitude [2]. The bunch length manipulation is achieved by varying different machine parameters, such as RF-voltage amplitude up to 500 kV and the momentum compaction factor α over three orders of magnitude. The subject of this article is the measurement of THz bursting thresholds at the MLS for different bunch lengths.

COHERENT THz MEASUREMENTS AT THE METROLOGY LIGHT SOURCE
The Metrology Light Source (MLS) [1] is the first storage ring optimized for THz generation [2]. It applies a bunch shortening mode, based on a flexible momentum compaction factor ’α’ optics. The short bunches emit coherent THz radiation. We report on measured THz signals as a function of different machine parameters. Two type of measurements are presented in this paper. The first part presents...
متن کاملSystematic Studies of Short Bunch-length Bursting at Anka
At ANKA, the Karlsruhe synchrotron radiation source, the so called short bunch-length operation mode allows the reduction of the bunch length down to a few picoseconds. The micro-bunching instability resulting from the high degree of longitudinal compression leads to fluctuations in the emitted intensity in the THz regime, referred to as bursting. For extremely compressed bunches at ANKA bursti...
متن کاملPulse shaping with birefringent crystals: a tool for quantum metrology.
A method for time differentiation based on a Babinet-Soleil-Bravais compensator is introduced. The complex transfer function of the device is measured using polarization spectral interferometry. Time differentiation of both the pulse field and pulse envelope are demonstrated over a spectral width of about 100 THz with a measured overlap with the objective mode greater than 99.8%. This pulse sha...
متن کاملCSR-driven Longitudinal Single Bunch Instability Thresholds
INTRODUCTION The interaction of a short bunch of electrons with its own coherent synchrotron radiation, CSR, leads to low longitudinal instability thresholds. According to Bane, et al. [1] these thresholds follow a quite simple scaling law. More detailed theoretical calculations for the underlying shielded CSR-impedance have been performed for BESSY II and the Metrology Light Source, MLS. It is...
متن کاملCSR-Driven Longitudinal Single Bunch Instability with Negative Momentum Compaction Factor
Acceptable agreement is found between experimental results obtained at the Metrology Light Source (MLS) operated with negative momentum compaction factor, α, and theoretical estimates of the CSR-driven threshold currents. Theoretical instability thresholds are estimated by numerically solving the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation and/or by multi particle tracking and taking into account the shielde...
