INITIAL SEARCH FOR 9-keV XTR FROM A 28-GeV BEAM AT SPPS*
نویسنده
چکیده
The potential to use x-ray transition radiation (XTR) as a beam diagnostic and coherent XTR (CXTR) as a gain diagnostic in an x-ray FEL was proposed previously. At that time we noted that the unique configuration of the SLAC Sub-picosecond Photon Source (SPPS) with its known x-ray wiggler source, a special three-element x-ray monochromator, x-ray transport line, and experimental end station with x-ray detectors made it an ideal location for an XTR feasibility experiment. Estimates of the XTR compared to the SPPS source strength were done, and initial experiments were performed in September 2005. Complementary measurements on optical transition radiation (OTR) far-field images from a 7-GeV beam are also discussed.

Shielding simulations for safe use of curtain electron accelerator by MCNP4C
In an electron curtain accelerator, when the electron beam passes through the titanium exit window of the accelerator chamber, X-ray photons are produced as a negative by-product of retarding accelerated electrons. Controlling the produced X-ray photons to avoid their detrimental effects or in fact, proper shielding of the accelerator is an important issue that has to be considered in the use o...

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) currently under construction at Argonne National Laboratory will be one of the world’s brightest synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring, capable of storing currents up to 300 mA at 7.0 GeV and 200 mA at 7.5 GeV, will produce very intense and energetic synchrotron radiation (Ec = 24 keV for bending magnets and Ec = 37.4 keV for wigglers, where Ec is t...

In CEBAF, the electron beam from the injector must be sufficiently relativistic to match a 1 GeV recirculated beam in the first linac. The electron beam is produced with a — 130 keV electron gun, then accelerated by a room temperature, graded-beta standing wave linac, capture section, from 130 keV to 510 keV before enters two 5-cell superconducting RF cavities for further acceleration. Present ...

In a collaborative effort with industry and several national laboratories, the Accelerator Production of Tritium (APT) facility and the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linac are presently being designed and developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The APT facility is planned to accelerate a 100 mA H cw beam to 1.7 GeV and the SNS linac is planned to accelerate a 1 to 4 mA-average, H,...
متن کاملMeasurements of Transverse Emittance Growth due to Coherent Synchrotron Radiation in the SLAC SPPS Bunch Compressor Chicane
A four-dipole bunch compressor chicane has recently been installed in the SLAC linac at 9 GeV and is capable of compressing a 3.4-nC electron bunch to an rms length of 50 microns, resulting in a peak current of nearly 10 kA [1]. The electron bunch is extracted from a damping ring with normalized horizontal emittance of ∼ 30 μm. We present preliminary measurements of the initial and final emitta...
