Measurements of the Transverse Emittance at the VUV-FEL

چکیده
The TESLA Test Facility (TTF) linear accelerator (linac) at DESY has been extended to drive a new Free Electron Laser facility (VUV-FEL) in the wavelength range from the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) to soft Xrays. With the upgraded photo injector and increased electron beam energy up to 1GeV, wavelengths down to 6 nm can be achieved. During the commissioning phase of the VUV-FEL the emphasis is on lasing with a wavelength of 30 nm. A high quality electron beam is required for the lasing process. At the VUV-FEL the design values are 2mmmrad normalized transverse emittance, 2500A peak current, and 0.1% energy spread. In order to understand and optimize the electron beam, precise measurements of the beam properties are essential. In this diploma thesis, measurements of the transverse emittance during the commissioning of the VUV-FEL are presented. The transverse beam distribution is measured using optical transition radiation at four positions along the linac. The emittance is determined from the measured distributions using two methods: a fit of the Twiss parameters together with the emittance to the measured beam sizes, and as a second method, the tomographic reconstruction of the phase space density distributions using the Maximum Entropy Algorithm. Zusammenfassung Um eine neue Freie-Elektronen Laser Anlage zu betreiben, ist der Linearbeschleuniger der TESLA Test Anlage (TTF) am DESY erweitert worden. Mit dem verbesserten Photoinjektor und einer erhöhten Strahlenergie von bis zu 1GeV kann FEL-Strahlung im Wellenlängenbereich vom Vakuum-Ultraviolett (VUV) bis zu weicher Röntgenstrahlung (6 nm) erzeugt werden. Während der Inbetriebnahme des VUV-FEL wird ein Laserbetrieb mit einer Wellenlänge von 30 nm angestrebt. Eine hohe Strahlqualität ist wichtig für den Laserprozess. Am VUV-FEL liegen die Designwerte der normierten transversalen Strahlemittanz bei 2mmmrad, des Spitzenstroms bei 2500A und der Energiebreite bei 0.1%. Für das Verständnis und zum Optimieren des Elektronenstrahls sind präzise Messungen der Elektronenstrahl-Eigenschaften essentiell. Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit werden Messungen der transversalen Strahlemittanz während der Inbetriebnahme präsentiert. Die transversale Strahlverteilung wird an vier Positionen im Beschleuniger mit Hilfe von optischer Übergangsstrahlung gemessen. Aus diesen Verteilungen wird die Strahlemittanz über zwei verschiedene Methoden bestimmt: aus einem Fit der Twiss Parameter und der Strahlemittanz an die gemessenen Strahlbreiten und zum anderen aus der tomographischen Rekonstruktion der Phasenraum-Dichteverteilung unter Benutzung des Maximum-Entropie-Algorithmus.

Effects of Cathode Non-Uniformity on Emittance of an S-band Photocathode RF Gun
The need for a high brightness electron beam for the proposed Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) project at SLAC has led to the development of the Gun Test Facility (GTF) at SSRL. The design requirements for the LCLS are 1 nC of charge in a microbunch of 10 ps or less with a normalized rms emittance of 1π mm mrad. Simulations of the GTF using a 1 nC bunch with 10 ps flat top temporal and unifor...
متن کاملWakefield Induced Correlated Energy Spread and Emittance Growth at TTF FEL
An electron beam with a small energy spread (0.1%) and a small normalized emittance (2 mm.mrad) is required to drive a Free Electron Laser at the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) at DESY. During FEL operations, the longitudinal and transverse wakefields which are generated by vacuum components, principally by RF cavities, bellows and valves, will induce an additional energy spread and emittance growth...
متن کاملAnalysis of slice transverse emittance evolution in a photocathode RF gun
The slice transverse emittance of an electron beam is of critical significance for an x-ray FEL. In a photocathode RF gun, the slice transverse emittance is not only determined by the emission process, but also influenced strongly by the nonlinear space charge effect. In this paper, we study the slice transverse emittance evolution in a photocathode RF gun using a simple model that includes eff...
متن کاملTransverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange to improve performance of high-gain free-electron lasers
The ability to generate small transverse emittance is perhaps the main limiting factor for the performance of high-gain x-ray free-electron lasers (FELs). Noting that beams from an rf photocathode gun can have energy spread much smaller than required for efficient FEL interaction, we present a method to produce normalized transverse emittance at or below about 0:1 m, which will lead to a signif...

The Gun Test Facility (GTF) at SSRL was started in 1996 to develop an appropriate injector for the proposed Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC. The LCLS design requires the injector to produce a beam with at least 1 nC of charge in a 10 ps or shorter pulse with no greater than 1 mm-mrad normalized rms emittance. The photoinjector at the GTF is 1.6 cell S-band symmetrized gun and emittan...
