To minimize emittance growth in a long linac, it is necessary to control the wakefields by correcting the beam orbit excursions. In addition, the particle energy is made to vary along the length of the bunch to introduce a damping, known as the BNS damping, to the beam break-up effect. In this paper, we use a two-particle model to examine the relative magnitudes of the various orbit and dispers...

Xiaobiao Huang Beam Diagnosis and Lattice Modeling of the Fermilab Booster A realistic lattice model is a fundamental basis for the operation of a synchrotron. In this study various beam-based measurements, including orbit response matrix (ORM) and BPM turn-by-turn data are used to verify and calibrate the lattice model of the Fermilab Booster. In the ORM study, despite the strong correlation b...

The vertical beam spread is one of the most important parameters for the high brilliance storage ring, which is represented by the coupling ratio of the horizontal and vertical beam emittances. The coupling between the horizontal and vertical betatron oscillations and the vertical dispersion with the energy spread generate the vertical beam spread, so that they should be corrected. The latter h...

Stretcher mode of KSR has been experimentally tested. Up to now, beam spill longer than 8 second has been attained by reducing RF knockout power. Improvement of extraction efficiency will be realized by ramping of betatron tune and formation of closed-orbit-distortion without the effect of non-linear sextupole magnets to make aperture minimum at the first septum for extraction.

Femtosecond electron bunches with ultrarelativistic energies were recently generated by laser wakefield accelerators. Here we predict that laser wakefield acceleration can generate even attosecond bunches, due to a strong chirp of the betatron frequency. We show how the bunch duration scales with the acceleration parameters and that, after acceleration, the bunches can propagate over many tens ...
