Linac Coherent Light Source (lcls) Bunch-length Monitor Using Coherent Radiation∗
نویسنده
چکیده
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is a SASE xray Free-Electron Laser (FEL) based on the final kilometer of the Stanford Linear Accelerator. One of the most critical diagnostic devices is the bunch length monitor (BLM), which is to be installed right after each compressor utilizing coherent radiation from the last bending magnet. We describe the components and the optical layout of such a BLM. Based on the setup geometry, we discuss some issues about the coherent radiation signal.

Short Bunch Beam Diagnostics
With the emergence of 4th generation FEL based light sources there is now considerable interest in both producing and characterizing ultra-short (<100 fs) electron bunches. Knowledge of the extremely high peak current in a short bunch is required to diagnose the SASE (self amplified stimulated emission) process. Measuring the femtosecond duration of the pulse is inherently interesting, particul...
متن کاملCoherent Synchrotron Radiation as a Diagnostic Tool for the LCLS
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) will be the world’s first x-ray free-electron laser (FEL). To ensure the vitality of FEL lasing, a longitudinal feedback system is required together with other diagnostics. In this paper, we study the possibility of using Coherent Synchrotron Radiation (CSR) from the chicane as a diagnostic tool for bunch length feedback. Studies show that CSR is a good ca...
متن کاملCoherent-radiation spectroscopy of few-femtosecond electron bunches using a middle-infrared prism spectrometer.
Modern, high-brightness electron beams such as those from plasma wakefield accelerators and free-electron laser linacs continue the drive to ever-shorter bunch durations. In low-charge operation (~20 pC), bunches shorter than 10 fs are reported at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). Though suffering from a loss of phase information, spectral diagnostics remain appealing as compact, low-cost...
متن کاملLinac Design for the LCLS Project at SLAC
The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC is being designed to produce intense, coherent 0.15-nm x-rays. These x-rays will be produced by a single pass of a 15-GeV bunched electron beam through a long undulator. Nominally, the bunches have a charge of 1 nC, normalized transverse emittances of less than 1.5π mm-mr and an rms bunch length of 20 μm. The electron beam will be produced using th...
متن کاملX-ray Pulse Duration Control in the LCLS
X-ray pulse duration control is critical to exploring the ultra-fast science at an x-ray freeelectron laser (FEL) facility such as the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). The pulse length of a typical electron bunch that drives a self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) FEL is limited to the order of 100~200 fs, due to short-bunch collective interactions. Many novel schemes have been proposed...
