Laser wakefield acceleration of short electron bunches

The theory of electron acceleration in a plasma wake wave is developed, and the dependence of the main characteristics of accelerated electron bunches on the wakefield parameters is investigated, It is shown that using a prebunching stage, under proper conditions, the final electron density of a compressed and accelerated bunch can exceed the initial electron beam density by orders of magnitude and that longitudinal bunch compression provides quasi-monoenergetic acceleration to high energies, It is demonstrated that, for an initial electron beam radius smaller than the optimal one for efficient beam trapping, the energy spread of the compressed and accelerated electron bunch and its length can be evaluated by using the simple analytical predictions of a one-dimensional (1-D) theory. The obtained analytical results are confirmed by three-dimensional (3-D) numerical modeling     

Theory and simulation of an 85 GHz quasioptical gyroklystron experiment

The linear theory used to design a two-resonator 85 GHz quasioptical gyroklystron with a nonuniform magnetic field is presented. It is shown that a tapered magnetic field in the prebunching resonator has a relatively small effect on the electron bunching parameter. The effect of velocity spread of the electron beam can be minimized by adjusting the magnetic field strength in the two resonators. Measured amplifier performance is in good agreement with calculations from the nonlinear multimode simulation code. Gyrophase bunching of the electrons is preserved over the long drift region (30 radiation wavelengths) even though no attempt has been made to minimize the velocity spread of the beam.     

Equilibrium and stability of free-running, phase-locked, andmode-locked quasi-optical gyrotrons

Equilibria and stability (both single-mode and sideband) are calculated and contrasted for free-running, phase-locked, and mode-locked oscillator configurations in a quasi-optical gyrotron. The oscillator can be phase locked by direct injection of radiation into the oscillator cavity. The equilibrium and stability properties are not greatly affected at low injection power levels. Alternatively, the oscillator could be phase locked by prebunching the beam. If the beam is prebunched, there are dramatic effects on both equilibrium and stability. The transverse efficiency can be considerably enhanced by prebunching the beam. This prebunching can be done on either a phase-locked (using an external RF source) or mode-locked (using the oscillator output) configuration. The stable locking bandwidth turns out to be about half the ω/Q linewidth of the mode     

Mode-selective amplification in a waveguide free electron laserwith a two-sectioned wiggler

One important issue in waveguide free electron lasers (FELs) involves an interaction of the electron beam with one waveguide mode at two different resonant frequencies. Since the low-frequency mode often has a higher pain, the usually preferred high-frequency mode is suppressed as a result of mode competition. In this paper, possible control of this mode competition is considered using a nonstandard wiggler magnet consisting of two cascaded wiggler sections with different periods and field strengths. It is demonstrated that with an appropriate differentiation between the two wiggler sections the high-frequency mode may be amplified preferentially. This mode-selective amplification may be used to suppress the low-frequency mode. A small signal gain formulation is developed for a waveguide FEL with such a two-sectioned wiggler arrangement and numerical examples are used to demonstrate its applicability to mode control in waveguide FELs. Effects of wiggler field errors and electron energy spread are also considered. It is shown that the requirement for wiggler field errors and electron energy spread in the two-sectioned wiggler arrangement is similar to that in the usual straight wiggler configuration     

Quasi-linear theory of multimode free-electron lasers with an inhomogeneous frequency broadening

assuming that the number of excited modes is large and their phases are random a quasi-linear theory of interaction of ultrarelativistic electron beam with the field of a high-quality cavity is developed. The saturation effects in FELs with an inhomogeneous frequency broadening are described. It is shown that in the case of very large excesses over threshold the efficiency of FELs tends to 50% but the emitted energy is distributed in a very wide spectral interval.     

自由电子激光的单粒子理论及其应用

本文建立了圆极化摇摆场自由电子激光的单粒子理论,导出了电子未扰轨道及其稳定性判据和自由电子激光单程增益的表达式。单程增益由三项构成,其中第一项即自由电子激光不稳定性的增益与动力学理论得到的指数增益相符。第二项和和三项表明存在一对新的不稳定性——正不稳定性和负不稳定性。该理论没有对电子未扰轨道纵向速度作任何假设,不仅可以更合理地用于常规自由电子激光的研究,而且可以用于短周期摇摆器弱相对论自由电子激光研究。后者由于电子未扰轨道纵向速度比较低,已有的单粒子理论中所作的电子纵向速度约等于光速的假设不再成立。借助数值分析,我们发现:(1)稳定轨道Ⅱ的弱导引场区域也出现了动力学理论描述过的与自由电子激光互作用机理相悖的现象。(2)正不稳定性和负不稳定性在稳定轨道Ⅰ的导引磁场临界值附近可能严重影响自由电子激光的工作。(3)可以使用较弱的短周期摇摆场和较强的导引场产生高频率高增益相干受激辐射。     

Electron beam brightness in linac drivers for free-electron-lasers

Linear accelerators delivering high brightness electron beams are essential for a number of current and proposed accelerator applications, such as free electron lasers (FELs). In this kind of facilities the charge density is high enough to drive collective effects (wakefields) that, notwithstanding the high beam rigidity at energies up to the GeV range, may increase the beam emittance relative to the injection level, eventually degrading the nominal beam brightness. New theoretical developments and experimental capabilities, driven by the recent construction of vacuum-ultra-violet and X-ray linac-driven FELs, have advanced the present knowledge. This article describes the progress in the field of ultra-relativistic electron beam manipulation to maximize the final beam brightness, with a focus on the most recent techniques including optics design, pulse shaping and brightness optimization strategies. The theoretical models are supported by a review of the experimental results in now-running FEL facilities.
