Transverse and longitudinal beam dynamics studies at the Fermilab photoinjector
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Fermilab photoinjector produces electron bunches of 1–12 nC charge with an energy of 16–18 MeV. Detailed measurements and optimization of the transverse emittance have been carried out for a number of beam line optics conditions, and at a number of beam line locations. The length of the bunches has also been measured, first for an uncompressed beam (as a function of the charge) and then for a compressed beam of 8 nC charge (as a function of the 9-cell cavity phase). These measurements are presented and compared with the simulation codes HOMDYN and ASTRA.

First observation of the exchange of transverse and longitudinal emittances.
An experimental program to demonstrate a novel phase-space manipulation in which the horizontal and longitudinal emittances of a particle beam are exchanged has been completed at the Fermilab A0 Photoinjector. A new beam line, consisting of a TM(110) deflecting mode cavity flanked by two horizontally dispersive doglegs has been installed. We report on the first direct observation of transverse ...
متن کاملThe Flat Beam Experiment at the Fnal Photoinjector
A technique for production of an electron beam with a high transverse emittance ratio, a “flat” beam, has been proposed by Brinkmann, Derbenev, and Flöttmann.[1] The cathode of an RF-laser gun is immersed in a solenoidal magnetic field; as a result the beam emitted from a round laser spot has a net angular momentum. Subsequent passage through a matched quadrupole channel that has a 90 degree di...
متن کاملLongitudinal Bunch Lengthening Compensation in a High Charge Rf Photoinjector
In high charge RF photoinjectors for wakefield two beam acceleration studies, due to the strong longitudinal space charge, bunch lengthening between the photocathode and photoinjector exit is a critical issue. We present beam dynamics studies of bunch lengthening in an RF photoinjector for a high charge electron beam and describe methods to compensate the bunch lengthening to various degrees. I...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of the longitudinal beam dynamics in a photoinjector using a two-macroparticle bunch
We have developed a two-macroparticle bunch to explore the longitudinal beam dynamics through various components of the Fermilab/NICADD photoinjector. Such a two-macroparticle bunch is generated by splitting the ultraviolet pulse from the photocathode drive laser. The presented method allows the exploration of radiofrequency-induced compression in the 1.625 cell rf-gun and the booster cavity. I...
متن کاملDevelopment of a 1.5+0.5 Cell Photoinjector∗
We present the development and status of a traditional UCLA/BNL/SLAC style 1.5 cell photoinjector with an additional half cell downstream to aid in longitudinal pulse compression. The work presented includes radio frequency design via SuperFish and HFSS as well as beam dynamics simulation using PARMELA. We investigate longitudinal compression of an electron beam in this extra downstream half ce...
