| MOPML050 | A Massive Open Online Course on Particle Accelerators | 512 |
|
||
|
Funding: European Union H2020 - ARIES Project The TIARA (Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area) project funded by the European Union 7th framework programme made a survey of provision of education and training in accelerator science in Europe highlighted the need for more training opportunities targeting undergraduate-level students. This need is now being addressed by the European Union H2020 project ARIES (Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society) via the preparation of a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) on particle accelerator science and engineering. We present here the current status of this project, the main elements of the syllabus, how it will be delivered, and the schedule for providing the course. |

| WEPAL026 | High Repetition Rate, Single-Shot Electro-Optical Monitoring of Longitudinal Electron Bunch Dynamics Using the Linear Array Detector KALYPSO | 2216 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work is funded by the BMBF contract numbers: 05K13VKA and 05K16VKA. High repetition rate diagnostics are required when detecting single-shot electro-optical (EO) bunch profiles. The KIT storage ring KARA (KArlsruhe Research Accelerator) is the first storage ring in the world that has a near-field EO bunch-profile monitor in operation. By imprinting longitudinal electron bunch profiles onto chirped laser pulses, single-shot detection is feasible. However, limitations of available detection systems are challenging: The constraints are either given by the repetition rate or the duration of the consecutive acquisitions. Two strategies can overcome these limitations: Based on the photonic time-stretch method, the ps laser pulses can be stretched to the ns range using km long fibers. The readout with a high-bandwidth oscilloscope then enables a single-shot detection at high repetition rates. The other strategy is the development of dedicated ultra-fast photodetector arrays allowing direct detection of the ps pulses at MHz repetition rates. We developed KALYPSO, a linear detector array with a DAQ allowing to record high data-rates over long time scales. Here, we present recent results of studies of the longitudinal electron bunch dynamics using KALYPSO. |

| WEPAL027 | Filling Pattern Measurements Using Dead-Time Corrected Single Photon Counting | 2219 |
|
||
| Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) is a versatile tool for various accelerator diagnostics aspects. Amongst others it allows a precise determination of the filling pattern. At the visible light diagnostics port at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), the KIT storage ring, a Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) in combination with a histogramming device (PicoHarp) is used. To compensate for possible dead-time effects, a correction scheme was developed and tested successfully. The compensation increases the dynamic range in which accurate measurements are possible and avoids distortion of the measured filling pattern. This contribution presents the experimental setup, as well as a series of benchmark measurements. | ||

| WEPAL028 | Study of the Influence of the CSR Impedance on the Synchronous Phase Shift at KARA | 2223 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work has been supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Grant No. 05K16VKA) and the Helmholtz Association (Contract No. VH-NG-320). Measurements of the bunch current dependent synchronous phase shift are a standard method to characterize the impedance of a storage ring. To study this shift, different experimental approaches can be used. In this contribution, we first derive the phase shift caused by the impedance describing the emission of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) based on numerical simulations of the longitudinal phase space. The predicted shift is compared to measurement results obtained by time-correlated single photon counting. |

| FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) will be a new compact versatile linear accelerator at KIT. Its primary goal is to serve as a platform for a variety of accelerator studies as well as to generate strong ultra-short THz pulses for photon science. The machine consists of an RF gun, a traveling wave linac and a D-shaped bunch compressor chicane with corresponding diagnostics sections. In this contribution, we report on the latest developments of the diagnostics components. An overview of the readout and control system integration will be given. | ||

| THPAK030 | Studies of Longitudinal Dynamics in the Micro-Bunching Instability Using Machine Learning | 3277 |
|
||
| The operation of synchrotron light sources with short electron bunches increases the emitted CSR power in the THz frequency range. However, the spatial compression leads to complex longitudinal dynamics, causing the formation of micro-structures in the longitudinal bunch profiles. The fast temporal variation and small scale of these micro-structures put challenging demands on their observation. At the KIT storage ring KARA (KArlsruhe Research Accelerator), diagnostics have been developed allowing direct observation of the dynamics by an electro-optical setup, and indirect observation by measuring the fluctuation of the emitted CSR. In this contribution, we present studies of the micro-structure dynamics on simulated data, obtained using the numerical Vlasov-Fokker-Planck solver Inovesa, and first applications on measured data. To deal with generated data sets in the order of terabytes in size, we apply the machine learning technique k-means to identify the dominant micro-structures in the longitudinal bunch profiles. Following this approach, new insights on the correlation of the CSR power fluctuation to the underlying longitudinal dynamics can be gained. | ||

| THPMF071 | Design of a Very Large Acceptance Compact Storage Ring | 4239 |
|
||
| Design of a very large acceptance compact storage ring is underway at the Institute for Beam Physics and Technology of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany). Combination of a compact storage ring and a laser wake-field accelerator (LWFA) might be the basis for future compact light sources and advancing user facilities. Meanwhile the post-LWFA beam is not fitted for storage and accumulation in conventional storage rings. New generation rings with adapted features are required. Different geometries and lattices of a ring operating between 50 to 500 MeV energy range were investigated. The model suitable to store the post-LWFA beam with a wide momentum spread (1% to 2%) and ultra-short electron bunches of fs range was chosen as basis for further detailed studies. The DBA-FDF lattice with relaxed settings, split elements and high order optics of tolerable strength allows improving the dynamic aperture up to 20 mm. The momentum acceptance of the compact lattice exceeds 8% while dispersion is limited. The physical program includes turn-by-turn phase compression of a beam, crab cavities, dedicated alpha optics mode of operation, non-linear insertion devices etc. | ||

| THPMF072 | Implementation of Ultra-Low Frequency Non-Linear Raman Spectroscopy with the Gun Laser at FLUTE | 4242 |
|
||
| At the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) the new compact versatile linear accelerator FLUTE is currently under commissioning. This accelerator will provide intense broadband THz pulses for spectroscopic experiments. Here, we demonstrate the implementation of a coherent Raman spectrometer using the RF gun laser of FLUTE. With our experiment, we can measure the Raman spectrum at ultra-low frequencies. The measurement principle, which was recently published, is based on coherent nonlinear excitation of the observed sample. The spectrometer consists of a stretcher and an interferometer, which can be simply built from standard optics. We will show that the accessible spectral range overlaps well with that from the THz pulses of the planned FLUTE experiment. Thus, the coherent Raman experiment can provide spectral information complementary to absorption spectral measurements using the THz radiation of FLUTE. | ||
