Electron-beam Stabilization for the European Storage-ring Free-electron Laser at Elettra∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The temporal structure of the storage-ring free-electron laser at Elettra shows high sensitivity to electron-beam instabilities. In fact, even small beam perturbations may affect the FEL dynamics and periodically switch off the laser. In order to improve the FEL operation and performance, different and complementary feedback systems have been activated. This paper reports on their beneficial effect. Plans for future improvements are also briefly outlined.

متن کاملThe Control System of the Elettra Booster Injector
A new injector made of a 100 MeV Linac and a 2.5 GeV booster ring is being built at ELETTRA to provide full energy injection into the storage ring in top-up mode. This project has required a novel design of the control system with the adoption of a new architecture and the use of up to date technologies, which will also be the basis of the control systems for future projects and accelerators up...
متن کاملStorage ring free electron laser dynamics in presence of an auxiliary harmonic radio frequency cavity
In a Storage Ring Free Electron Laser (SRFEL) there is a strong interdependence between the laser beam and the electron beam from which the laser is generated. The Super ACO storage ring has a second Radio Frequency (RF) cavity at the 5th harmonic of the main RF cavity. It is used to shorten the bunch length, thereby enhancing the laser gain. Employing this RF harmonic cavity instabilities are ...
متن کاملStorage Ring Design Optimization for Fel Operation
An electron beam in a storage ring seems to be a perfect driver for a free electron laser. The understanding of storage rings is very well advanced to.project designs with high peak current, small beam sizesand short damping times. Since the beam is recycled after passage through the optical cavity we can expect a relatively high overall efficiency. On the other hand, however the fact that we d...
