Transverse to Longitudinal Emittance Exchange*
نویسندگان
چکیده
A scheme is proposed to exchange the transverse and longitudinal emittances of an electron bunch. A general analysis is presented and a specific beamline is used as an example where the emittance exchange is achieved by placing a transverse deflecting mode radio-frequency cavity in a magnetic chicane. In addition to reducing the transverse emittance, the bunch length is also simultaneously compressed. The scheme has the potential to introduce an added flexibility to the control of electron beams and to provide some contingency for the achievement of emittance and peak-current goals in free-electron lasers. * Work supported by Department of Energy contract number DE-AC03-76SF00515. § Electronic address: [email protected] SLAC-PUB-9225

Verification of the Awa Photoinjector Beam Parameters Required for a Transverse-to-longitudinal Emittance Exchange Experiment
A transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange experiment is in preparation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The experiment aims at exchanging a low (εz < 5 μm) longitudinal emittance with a large (εx > 15 μm) transverse horizontal emittance for a bunch charge of ∼ 100 pC. Achieving such initial emittance partitioning, though demonstrated via numerical simulations, is a challenging ...
متن کاملAberration corrected emittance exchange
The MIT Faculty has made this article openly available. Please share how this access benefits you. Your story matters. Full exploitation of emittance exchange (EEX) requires aberration-free performance of a complex imaging system including active radio-frequency (rf) elements which can add temporal distortions. We investigate the performance of an EEX line where the exchange occurs between two ...
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 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...
متن کاملEmittance and Phase Space Exchange∗
Alternative chicane-type beam lines are proposed for exact emittance exchange between horizontal phase space (x, x′) and longitudinal phase space (z, δ). Methods to achieve exact phase space exchanges, i.e. mapping x to z, x′ to δ, z to x and δ to x′ are suggested. Methods to mitigate the thick-lens effect of the transverse cavity on emittance exchange are discussed. Some applications of the ph...
