双自由度诊断高能电子透镜成像技术（英文）

电磁场及流体演化过程信息的获取在高能量密度物理、可控核聚变及实验天体物理的研究中起着重要的作用,然而在实验过程中,电磁场信息及流体信息的同步获取是非常困难的。基于高能电子透镜成像技术,利用面密度差分的方法,提出了一种可以实现面密度和场积分强度同时获取的双自由度诊断设计方案。结合了蒙特卡罗模拟和束流光学分析,该方案在相对较强的电磁场情况下的适用性得到了验证。此外,我们可以通过改变Fourier面处光阑的形状将其适用区间扩展到低电磁场强度相空间。结合高能电子束相对论速度及超短脉冲的特点,该技术非常适用于磁流体超快演化过程的诊断。     

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.

Generating 10-40 MeV high quality monoenergetic electron beams using a 5 TW 60 fs laser at Tsinghua University

A unique facility for laser plasma physics and advanced accelerator research has recently been built at Tsinghua University. This system is based on a Tsinghua Thomson scattering X-ray source (TTX), which combines an ultrafast TW laser with a synchronized 45 MeV high brightness linac. In our recent laser wakefield acceleration experiments, we have obtained 10-40 MeV high quality monoenergetic electron beams by running the laser at 5 TW peak power. Under certain conditions a very low relative energy spread of a few percent can be achieved. Absolute charge calibration for three different scintillating screens has also been performed using the linac system.

Design of a MeV ultra-fast electron diffraction experiment at Tsinghua university

Time-resolved MeV ultra-fast electron diffraction (UED) is a powerful tool for structure dynamics studies. In this paper, we present a design of a MeV UED facility based on a photocathode RF gun at Tsinghua University. Electron beam qualities are optimized with numerical simulations, indicating that resolutions of 250 fs and 0.01 AA, and bunch charge exceeding 10⁵ electrons are expected with technically achievable machine parameters. Status of experiment preparation is also presented.     

Simulation study of a photo-injector for brightness improvement in Thomson scattering X-ray source via ballistic bunching

Increasing the peak brightness is beneficial to various applications of the Thomson scattering X-ray source. A higher peak brightness of the scattered X-ray pulse demands a shorter scattering electron beam realized by beam compression in the electron beam-line. In this article, we study the possibility of compressing the electron beam in a typical S-band normal conducting photo-injector via ballistic bunching, through just adding a short RF linac section right behind the RF gun, so as to improve the peak brightness of the scattered x-ray pulse. Numerical optimization by ASTRA demonstrates that the peak current can increase from 50 A to > 300 A for a 500 pC, 10 ps FWHM electron pulse, while normalized transverse RMS emittance and RMS energy spread increases very little. Correspondingly, the peak brightness of the Thomson scattering X-ray source is estimated to increase about three times.

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.     

自触发紫外预电离开关脉冲击穿时延抖动影响因素及改进方法

研究了一种自触发紫外预电离开关击穿时延抖动特性的影响因素,结果表明:触发间隙电容放电阶段起预电离作用时,预电离注入时刻开关电场是开关时延抖动的决定性因素,提高工作系数和采用逸出功更低的电极材料对降低开关在脉冲峰值附近击穿时的时延抖动效果有限。提出的改进方法为:减小开关均压电阻阻值,显著延长触发间隙的有效燃弧时间,消除预电离注入时间及抖动的影响。采用改进方法时可以使开关在工作电压300～800 kV、前沿100 ns、180 ns的脉冲峰值附近击穿时的时延抖动分别小于1.3 ns、2.8 ns。
