Measurement of Electron-Beam Bunch Length and Emittance Using Shot-Noise-Driven Fluctuations in Incoherent Radiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Longitudinal and transverse phase space information has been obtained from a statistical analysis of fluctuations in the radiation spectrum of an electron bunch. Uncorrelated shot noise fluctuations in longitudinal beam density result in incoherent radiation with a spectrum that consists of spikes, with width inversely proportional to the bunch length. Measurements were performed at l 620 nm on a 1–5 ps long, 44 MeV bunch propagating through a wiggler. Bunch length and emittance obtained with this single shot technique agree with independent measurements. [S0031-9007(99)09493-4]

Novel Single Shot Bunch Length Diagnostic Using Coherent Diffraction Radiation
Current beam bunch length monitors that measure the spectral content of beam-associated coherent radiation to determine the longitudinal bunch form factor usually require wide bandwidth detection, Fourier transformation of spectral or interferometric data, phase retrieval algorithms and multiple beam pulses to obtain the bunch length. In this paper we discuss progress in the development of a no...
متن کاملBeam Instability and Microbunching due to Coherent Synchrotron Radiation
A relativistic electron beam moving in a circular orbit in free space can radiate coherently if the wavelength of the synchrotron radiation exceeds the length of the bunch. In accelerators coherent radiation of the bunch is usually suppressed by the screening effect of the conducting walls of the vacuum chamber [1, 2]. The screening effect is weak for short wavelengths, but if the wavelength is...
متن کاملMeasurements and modeling of coherent synchrotron radiation and its impact on the Linac Coherent Light Source electron beam
In order to reach the high peak current required for an x-ray free electron laser, two separate magnetic dipole chicanes are used in the Linac Coherent Light Source accelerator to compress the electron bunch length in stages. In these bunch compressors, coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) can be emitted either by a short electron bunch or by any longitudinal density modulation that may be on t...
متن کاملMeasurement of Beam Characteristics for Photo- Electron Beam at Waseda University *
The low emittance and short pulse electron beam is expected to be used in a wide field, such as X-ray generation by inverse Compton scattering, pulse radiolysis, etc. The laser driven photo cathode rf gun system is possible to produce the low emittance and short pulse electron beam [1]. It is very important for generating the low emittance and short pulse electron beam to measure the beam chara...
متن کاملNon-intercepting electron beam diagnostics using diffraction ra- diation
The Linear Collider presents new challenges for beam instrumentation. Some of the beam dimensions are of the order of a few nm (at the i.p.), and to be able to reach these small sizes, the beams have to be tightly controlled and understood from their very inception onward. A number of different techniques are available in the arsenal of beam size and beam emittance measurements (e.g. transition...
