Klystron Instability of a Relativistic Electron Beam in a Bunch Compressor
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we consider a klystron-like mechanism of ampli cation of parasitic density modulations in an electron bunch passing a magnetic bunch compressor. Analytical expressions are derived for the small-signal gain. The main emphasis is put on analysis of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) e ects.

A Fast Method to Estimate the Gain of the Microbunch Instability in a Bunch Compressor
To reach high peak currents driving Free-Electron Lasers an initial chirped electron bunch is compressed in a bunch compressor. The interaction of the electron beam with its radiation field can yield a collective instability, which amplifies any initial modulation in the current profile. We present a model, which allows one to derive an explicit analytical expression for the gain of the microbu...
متن کاملPFC/JA-92-26 Growth and Saturation of Stimulated Beam Modulation in a Two-Stream Relativistic Klystron Amplifier
A novel two-stream relativistic klystron amplifier (RKA) is presented in which the amplification of stimulated beam modulation is achieved via the unstable two-stream interaction rather than the use of passive cavities. After a calculation of the limiting current, the amplification and saturation of the stimulated beam modulation are analyzed using a cold-fluid model and particle-in-cell simula...
متن کاملSingle-bunch Instability of Positron Beams in Electron Cloud
Single-bunch instability of a short and dense positron beam in a photo-electron plasma is studied numerically using code LCODE. The code was originally developed for studies of plasma wakefield acceleration. It is twodimensional and fully relativistic, with both the beam and electrons modelled by macro-particles. The instability is shown to affect the rear part of the beam, right after the arri...
متن کاملUCLA Neptune Ramped Electron Bunch Experiment
A ramped electron bunch (i.e. one having a current density which rises linearly from the head to the tail and then drops sharply to zero) has been predicted to be an ideal drive beam for the plasma wake field accelerator due to the large transformer ratio it is capable of generating. A scheme was recently proposed for the creation of a relativistic electron bunch that approximates a ramped curr...
متن کاملBeam Instability and Microbunching due to Coherent Synchrotron Radiation
A relativistic electron beam moving in a circular orbit in free space can radiate coherently if the wavelength of the synchrotron radiation exceeds the length of the bunch. In accelerators coherent radiation of the bunch is usually suppressed by the screening effect of the conducting walls of the vacuum chamber [1, 2]. The screening effect is weak for short wavelengths, but if the wavelength is...
