Design and Analysis of a Single-Shot Longitudinal Phase Space Measurement Diagnostics at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator

چکیده
Abstract. A single-shot longitudinal phase space diagnostics is currently being assembled at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The diagnostics consists of mapping the longitudinal phase space coordinates to the transverse position space plane using a beamline that incorporates two magnetic dipoles arranged as a dogleg followed by an rf deflecting cavity. The deflecting cavity streaks the beam vertically while the dipole magnets bend horizontally. In this paper, we analyze analytically and via numerical simulations the performances of such diagnostics and their limitations. Simulations done in IMPACT-T shows good reconstruction of the longitudinal phase space.

Single-shot method for measuring femtosecond bunch length in linac-based free-electron lasers
There is growing interest in the generation and characterization of femtosecond and subfemtosecond pulses from linac-based free-electron lasers (FELs). In this report, following the method of Ricci and Smith [Phys. Rev. STAccel. Beams 3, 032801 (2000)], we investigate the measurement of the longitudinal bunch profile of an ultrashort electron bunch produced by these FELs. We show that this meth...
متن کاملLimiting Effects in the Transverse-to-longitudinal Emittance Exchange Technique for Low Energy Relativistic Electron Beams
Transverse to longitudinal phase space manipulation hold great promises, e.g., as a potential technique for repartitioning the emittances of a beam. A proof-of-principle experiment to demonstrate the exchange of a low longitudinal emittance with a larger transverse emittance is in preparation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator using a ∼ 12 MeV electron beam. In this paper we explore the limit...
متن کاملTemporal evolution of longitudinal bunch profile in a laser wakefield accelerator
We present single-shot measurements of the longitudinal bunch profile from a laser-wakefield accelerator with sub-fs resolution, based on detection of coherent transition radiation in a broad spectral range. A previously developed phase retrieval algorithm enables reconstruction of the bunch profile without prior assumptions about its shape. In this study, a variable-length gas target is used t...
متن کاملWavefront-sensor-based electron density measurements for laser-plasma accelerators.
Characterization of the electron density in laser produced plasmas is presented using direct wavefront analysis of a probe laser beam. The performance of a laser-driven plasma-wakefield accelerator depends on the plasma wavelength and hence on the electron density. Density measurements using a conventional folded-wave interferometer and using a commercial wavefront sensor are compared for diffe...
متن کاملError Analysis, Design and Modeling of an Improved Heterodyne Nano-Displacement Interferometer
A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...
