Direct measurement of the double emittance minimum in the beam dynamics of the sparc high-brightness photoinjector.

چکیده
In this Letter we report the first experimental observation of the double emittance minimum effect in the beam dynamics of high-brightness electron beam generation by photoinjectors; this effect, as predicted by the theory, is crucial in achieving minimum emittance in photoinjectors aiming at producing electron beams for short wavelength single-pass free electron lasers. The experiment described in this Letter was performed at the SPARC photoinjector site, during the first stage of commissioning of the SPARC project. The experiment was made possible by a newly conceived device, called an emittance meter, which allows a detailed and unprecedented study of the emittance compensation process as the beam propagates along the beam pipe.

Experimental Testing of Dynamically Optimized Photoelectron Beams
We discuss the design of and initial results from an experiment in space-charge dominated beam dynamics which explores a new regime of high-brightness electron beam generation at the SPARC (located at INFN-LNF, Frascati) photoinjector. The scheme under study employs the natural tendency in intense electron beams to configure themselves to produce a uniform density, giving a nearly ideal beam fr...

متن کاملSpace-charge effects in high brightness electron beam emittance measurements
The measurement of emittance in space-charge dominated, high brightness beam systems is investigated from conceptual, computational, and experimental viewpoints. As the self-field-induced collective motion in the low energy, high brightness beams emitted from photoinjector rf guns are more important in determining the macroscopic beam evolution than thermal spreads in transverse velocity; tradi...
متن کاملExperimental Approaches of Emittance Dilution Induced by Misalignments in a Photoinjector
One of the main issues in the generation of a highbrightness electron beam is the preservation of beam emittance. Here we discuss one of possible source of the emittance dilution by the rf kick due to misalignment. The emittance of a high-brightness electron beam from a photoinjector is affected by the status of alignments due to deflection force by the accelerating field. The misaligned beam w...
