First experimental research of the bunch compressor at CAEPLI

Magnetic bunch compressor is one of the key technologies on the path to next generation accelerator driven facilities. In this paper we report the design principles and the first experimental research of the bunch compressor developed at Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP). The length of the bunch after compressor is found to be about 0.7 ps (rms) and the peak current exceeds 500 A when operated in the optimized condition. The sensitivity of the bunch length on the phase of the acceleration field and magnetic field of the bunch compressor was also measured and analyzed.     

Bunch length measurement at Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source

The length of electron beam from a photocathode RF gun is determined by a spectrometer, according to the relative energy spread induced by the bunch length during the acceleration in a linac. For a photocathode RF gun, different laser injected phase and beam charge are studied. The compression is changed for the different laser phases, as from 10° to 30°, and the bunch length is lengthened due to the strong longitudinal space charge force, caused by the increased charge.     

RF deflecting cavity for bunch length measurement in Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source

An RF deflecting cavity used for bunch length measurement has been designed and fabricated at Tsinghua University for the Thomson Scattering X-Ray Source.The cavity is a 2856 MHz,π-mode,3-cell standing-wave cavity,to diagnose the 3.5 MeV beam produced by photocathode electron gun.With a larger power source,the same cavity will again be used to measure the accelerated beam with energy of 50 MeV before colliding with the laser pulse.The RF design using MAFIA for both the cavity shape and the power coupler is reviewed,followed by presenting the fabrication procedure and bench measurement results of two cavities.

HEM₁₁ mode magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator:Simulation and experiment

A novel magnetically insulated transmission line oscillator(MILO) in which a modified HEM 11 mode is taken as its main interaction mode(HEM 11 mode MILO) is simulated and experimented in this paper.The excitation of the oscillation mode is made possible by carefully adjusting the arrangement of each resonant cavity in a two-dimensional slow wave structure.The special feature of such a device is that in the slow-wave-structure region,the interaction mode is HEM 11 mode which is a TM-like one that could interact with electron beams effectively;and in the coaxial output region,the microwave mode is TE 11 mode which has a favourable field density pattern to be directly radiated.Employing an electron beam of about 441 kV and 39.7 kA,the HEM 11 mode MILO generates a high power microwave output of about 1.47 GW at 1.45 GHz in particle-in-cell simulation.The power conversion efficiency is about 8.4 % and the generated microwave is in a TE 11-like circular polarization mode.In a preliminary experiment investigation,high power microwave is detected from the device with a frequency of 1.46 GHz,an output energy of 43 J-47 J,and a pulse duration of 44 ns-49 ns when the input voltage is 430 kV-450 kV,and the diode current is 37 kA-39 kA.

Design and studies on the traveling wave transverse RF deflecting structure

With the development of free electron laser (FEL) and the international linear collider (ILC), the electron bunch length is getting smaller and smaller. The traveling-wave transverse RF deflecting structure is an important part of the RF deflecting method for bunch length measurement and phase space diagnostics.The operation mode in RF deflector is the "TM11-like" mode. Since the TM11-like mode in this structure has a pair of degenerate dipole modes, two additional holes are provided on either side of each iris to stabilize the mode. The simulation and optimization have been done. A prototype has been fabricated and tested. The cold test results have been compared with the simulations of the first three modes.
