MOCB04 | Vertical Emittance Measurements using a Vertical Undulator | emittance, photon, electron, brilliance | 20 |
|
|||
With vertical dimensions of several microns, direct measurement of beam size is approaching diffraction limits of visible light and hard x-ray emittance diagnostics. We report on the development of a new vertical electron beam size measurement and monitoring technique which utilizes a vertical undulator. An APPLE-II type undulator was phased to produce a horizontal magnetic field, deflecting the electron beam in the vertical plane. The measured ratios of undulator spectral peak heights are evaluated by fitting to simulations of the apparatus. Vertical electron beam emittances of several picometres have been observed at the Australian Synchrotron storage ring. With this apparatus immediately available at most existing electron and positron storage rings, we find this to be an appropriate and novel vertical emittance diagnostic. | |||

MOIC02 | Electron Beam Diagnostic System for the Japanese XFEL, SACLA | electron, emittance, cavity, radiation | 38 |
|
|||
An x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) based on self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) requires a highly brilliant electron beam. The Japanese XFEL facility, SACLA, requires a normalized emittance less than 1 mm mrad and a peak current more than 3 kA. To achieve this high peak current, 1 A beam with 1 ns duration from a thermionic electron gun is compressed down to 30 fs by means of a multi-stage bunch compressor system. Therefore, the beam diagnostic system for SACLA was designed for the measurements of the emittance and bunch length at each compression stage. We developed a high-resolution transverse profile monitor and a temporal bunch structure measurement system with a C-band rf deflector cavity etc. In addition, precise overlapping between an electron beam and radiated x-rays in the undulator section is necessary to ensure the XFEL interaction. Therefore, we employed a C-band sub-micron resolution RF-BPM to fulfill the demanded accuracy of 4 um. The beam diagnostic system surely contributed to the first x-ray lasing at a wavelength of 1.2 Angstrom. We present a design strategy of the whole beam diagnostic system and the achieved performance for each monitor. | |||

MOPA24 | Photon Beam Position Monitor at SIAM Photon Source | photon, insertion, insertion-device, electron | 104 |
|
|||
Photon beam position monitors (PBPM) have been designed and installed in the beamline front-ends at Siam Photon Source (SPS). Up till now, these blade-type PBPMs have been successfully installed at three bending magnet and an insertion device (planar undulator) beamlines. Its performance has been tested and compared with that of the electron beam position monitor. The achieved resolution is found to be better than 3 μm. The obtained PBPM data proved to be extremely invaluable in the investigation of the sources of the observed beam positional fluctuation, and for compensation of the orbit perturbation caused by undulator gap change. In this paper, the details of the calibration procedure will be presented. Various factors affecting reading of the signal such as back scattering effect, choice of bias voltage, and temperature variation have been investigated and the results will be discussed herewith. | |||
MOPA35 | Design Status of the European X-FEL Tranverse Intra Bunch Train Feedback | kicker, feedback, FPGA, cavity | 133 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Swiss State Secretariat for Education and Research SER The European X-Ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) will have a fast transverse intra-bunch train feedback (IBFB) system to stabilize the beam position in the SASE undulators. E-XFEL bunch trains consist of up to 2700 bunches with a minimum bunch spacing of 222ns and typ. 10Hz train repetition rate. The IBFB will measure the positions of each bunch in the bunch train, and apply intra-train feedback corrections with fast kickers, in addition to a feed-forward correction for reproducible trajectory perturbations. By achieving a feedback loop latency in the order of one microsecond, the IBFB will allow the beam position to converge quickly to the nominal orbit as required for stable SASE operation. The latest conceptual design of the IBFB and the status of IBFB components will be presented. |

MOPB82 | Bunch-Compressor Transverse Profile Monitors of the SwissFEL Injector Test Facility | electron, operation, laser, vacuum | 271 |
|
|||
The 250 MeV SwissFEL Injector Test Facility (SITF) is the test bed of the future 5.7 GeV SwissFEL linac that will drive a coherent FEL light source in the wavelength range 7-0.7 and 0.7-0.1 nm. Aim of the SITF is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of producing and measuring 10 or 200pC electron bunches with normalized emittance down to 0.25 μm. A further goal is to demonstrate that the electron beam quality is preserved in the acceleration process, in the X-Band linearizer and the magnetic compression from about 10 ps down to 200 fs. The SITF movable magnetic bunch-compressor is equipped with several CCD/CMOS cameras for monitoring the beam transverse profile and determining the beam energy spread: a Ce:YAG screen and an OTR screen camera at the mid-point of the bunch compressor and a SR camera imaging in the visible the Synchrotron Radiation emitted by the electron beam crossing the third dipole. Results on the commissioning of such instrumentations, in particular in the low charge limit, and measurements of the beam energy spread vs. the compression factor will be presented. | |||
TUPA24 | Design of Cavity BPM Pickups for SwissFEL | cavity, pick-up, linac, coupling | 390 |
|
|||
SwissFEL is a 0.1nm hard X-ray Free Electron Laser being built at PSI. A photocathode gun, S-band injector and C-band linac provide 2 bunches at 28ns spacing, 10-200pC charge, and 5.8GeV maximum energy. A fast distribution kicker will provide one bunch each to one hard X-ray and one soft X-ray undulator line. For linac and undulators, first prototypes of dual-resonator cavity BPM pickups have been designed and fabricated. The pickups were optimized for low charge and short bunch spacing in the linac. Design considerations, simulation and first test results will be reported. | |||

TUPA41 | Ultra-short Electron Bunch and X-ray Temporal Diagnostics with an X-band Transverse Deflecting Cavity | FEL, electron, photon, klystron | 441 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was supported by Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC0276SF00515 The technique of streaking an electron bunch with a RF deflecting cavity to measure its bunch length is being applied in a new way at the Linac Coherent Light Source with the goal of measuring the femtosecond temporal profile of the FEL photon beam. A powerful X-band deflecting cavity is being installed downstream of the FEL undulator and the streaked electron beam will be observed at an energy spectrometer screen at the beam dump. The single-shot measurements will reveal which time slices of the streaked beam have contributed to the FEL process by virtue of their greater energy loss and energy spread relative to the non-lasing portions of the electron bunch. Since the diagnostic is located downstream of the undulator it can be operated continuously without interrupting the beam to the users. The resolution of the new X-band system will be compared to the existing S-band RF deflecting diagnostic systems at SLAC and consideration is given to the required RF phase stability tolerances required for acceptable beam jitter on the monitor. Simulation studies show that about 1 fs (rms) time resolution is achievable in the LCLS over a wide range of FEL wavelengths and pulse lengths. |

TUPB63 | Development of Turn-by-turn Beam Diagnostic System using Undulator Radiation | radiation, diagnostics, injection, timing | 492 |
|
|||
At the diagnostic beamline II (BL05SS) of the SPring-8 storage ring, a turn-by-turn beam diagnostic system using undulator radiation has been developed to observe fast phenomena such as stored beam oscillations during the top-up injections, blowups of beam size and energy spread coming from the instabilities of a high current single bunch and so on. The fast diagnostic system observes a spatial profile of the undulator radiation on a selected harmonic number. Especially, the higher harmonic radiations than the 10th-order are sensitive to the energy spread. A fluorescence screen (YAG:Ce) with afterglow of several tens of nano-second converts the radiation profile into visible light image. The imaging optics makes the horizontal and vertical profiles as two line images by one-dimensional focusing using cylindrical lenses. A fast-gated CCD camera with image intensifier simultaneously captures the two line images. The kinetics readout mode of the fast CCD camera is used to register the spatial profiles of several tens of turns in one flame. The principle and experimental setup of the turn-by-turn diagnostic system, and examples of beam observations will be presented. | |||
TUPB76 | Intra Undulator Screen Diagnostics for the FERMI@Elettra FEL | FEL, electron, laser, radiation | 519 |
|
|||
The FERMI@Elettra seeded FEL poses demanding requirements in terms of intra undulator diagnostics due to the short wavelength of its FEL radiation and to the coexistence of the electron and photon FEL beams. An advanced multi-beam screen system has equipped both FEL1 and FEL2. The system has been designed for transverse size and profile measurement on both the electron beam and the FEL radiation. Challenging design constrains are present: COTR suppression, seed laser suppression, FEL wavelength range and minimization of the ionizing radiation delivered to the undulators. This paper describes the novel design and the obtained performance with the FERMI intra undulator screen system (IU-FEL). | |||
