直线加速器驻波腔中的瞬态束流负载效应

在高能加速器中, 随着单个束团和束团串中电荷量的提高, 当粒子束穿过加速腔的时候, 感应出的瞬态束流负载电压也越来越高. 但是, 在通常分析束流负载的时候, 往往对稳态束流负载研究的比较多, 而对瞬态束流负载的研究要相对少一些. 本文首先对束流负载的瞬态特性和束团穿过加速腔时高频源所看到谐振腔谐振频率的变化方式进行了分析, 然后又对两种情况下谐振腔的最优失谐条件进行了讨论, 并给出了相应的解析公式. 在第1种情况下, 当粒子束穿过加速腔的时候, 谐振腔的自然谐振频率能够及时地得到调节, 从而使高频源的电流与谐振腔的腔压同相, 以提高高频源的效率; 在第2种情况下, 当粒子束穿过加速腔的时候, 谐振腔的自然谐振频率保持不变, 不能被调节. 最后, 还对BEPCⅡ现有预注入器的预聚束腔、BEPCⅡ未来预注入器的两个次谐波聚束腔中的瞬态束流负载效应进行了分析.     

深度高斯过程辅助的光阴极注入器优化设计

环形正负电子对撞机（CEPC）对注入器出口处的束团的电荷量、横向发射度、纵向长度等指标提出了严格的要求，设计开发高性能的电子枪及注入器成为了重要挑战。为了得到满足指标的束流，必须同时考虑众多非线性且相互耦合的变量。基于光阴极微波电子枪，提出了一种用多目标遗传算法在高维参数空间进行搜索的方法，对束团的横向归一化发射度和纵向长度进行优化，以期将电子枪的性能发挥至极限。由于考虑空间电荷效应后的束团传输过程模拟计算非常耗时，我们构建了一个3层的深度高斯过程作为替代模型，以解决目标值计算开销大的问题。通过对影响束流横、纵向相空间演化的关键因素分析，共确定了16个几何参数和10个束流元件参数。最后，展示了对由一个L-band的常温微波电子枪、一对螺线管和一个行波加速管组成的注入器，在初始电荷量为10 nC的优化结果。在计算了8 000个有效解后，观察到在两个优化目标上均表现良好的解，其对应的横向归一化发射度为19.8π·mm·mrad，束团长度（RMS）为1.0 mm，与当前的设计结果比较，横向归一化发射度压低了约70%。

Simulation study on the emittance compensation of off-axis emitted beam in RF photoinjector

To make full use of the photocathode material and improve its quantum efficiency lifetime, it can be necessary to operate the laser away from the cathode center in photoinjectors. In RF guns, the off-axis emitted beam will see a time-dependent RF effect, which would generate a significant growth in transverse emittance. It has been demonstrated that such an emittance growth can be almost completely compensated by orienting the beam on a proper orbit in the downstream RF cavities along the injector [1]. In this paper we analyze in detail the simulation techniques used in reference [1] and the issues associated with them. The optimization of photoinjector systems involving off-axis beams is a challenging problem. To solve this problem, one needs advanced simulation tools including both genetic algorithms and an efficient algorithm for 3D space charge. In this paper, we report on simulation studies where the two codes ASTRA and IMPACT-T are used jointly to overcome these challenges, in order to optimize a system designed to compensate for the emittance growth in a beam emitted off axis.

Emittance measurement & optimization for the photocathode RF gun with laser profile shaping

The Laser Undulator Compact X-ray source(LUCX) is a test bench for a compact high brightness X-ray generator,based on inverse Compton Scattering at KEK,which requires high intensity multi-bunch trains with low transverse emittance.A photocathode RF gun with emittance compensation solenoid is used as an electron source.Much endeavor has been made to increase the beam intensity in the multi-bunch trains.The cavity of the RF gun is tuned into an unbalanced field in order to reduce space charge effects,so that the field gradient on the cathode surface is relatively higher when the forward RF power into gun cavity is not high enough.A laser profile shaper is employed to convert the driving laser profile from Gaussian into uniform.In this research we seek to find the optimized operational conditions for the decrease of the transverse emittance.With the uniform driving laser and the unbalanced RF gun,the RMS transverse emittance of a 1 nC bunch has been improved effectively from 5.46 πmm.mrad to 3.66 πmm.mrad.

Ultra-low emittance X-band photocathode RF gun

In this paper, we present the simulation results of a 1.6 cell X-band photocathode RF gun for ultra-low emittance electron beams. It will work at 9.3 GHz. The emittance, bunch length, electron energy and energy spread at the gun exit are optimized at bunch charge of 1pC using PARMELA. Electron bunches with emittance about 0.1 mm·mrad and bunch length less than 100 fs can be obtained from this gun. A PITZ type coupler is adopted in this gun and an initial simulation by MAFIA is also given in this paper.     

Pulse compression in radio frequency photoinjectors-applications toadvanced accelerators

While RF photoinjectors are an excellent source of high brightness electron beams, there are constraints to tying together the expected emittance and peak current performance of a given photoinjector system. These constraints, which arise from the complicated dynamics of the electrons due to the interplay of RF and space-charge forces within the photoinjector, tend to favor lower peak current operation. For some ultimate uses of photoinjector beams, such as linear collider test beams, wakefield accelerators, and free-electron lasers (FEL's), one may desire much higher peak currents. In this case, an inexpensive and reliable method for producing extremely short high-current electron bunches is to use magnetic compression. We examine this scheme analytically and by computer simulation. Many applications are illustrated, including the TESLA Test Facility/FEL injector, ultra-high current beams for plasma wakefields and generation of femtosecond electron pulses for injection into short wavelength laser-based accelerators. It is shown that the injection timing jitter associated with the laser can be nearly eliminated using this scheme, making it an indispensable component in many of the advanced accelerator injectors we consider
