The generation of flat beam using round-to-flat beam conversion of an incoming canonical-angular-momentum dominated electron beam could have important application in the field of advanced acceleration techniques and accelerator-based light source. In this paper we explore the temporal compression of flat beams and especially compare the resulting phase space dilutions with the case of round beam. Finally, we propose and detail a possible experiment to investigate the flat-beam bunch compression at the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator currently in construction at Fermilab.

Earlier experiments at Fermilab’s A0 Photoinjector Laboratory demonstrated successful transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange (EEX) using a transverse-deflecting cavity (TDC) located between two identical doglegs. Such a design has the disadvantage of transversely displacing the beam. An interesting alternative is an EEX beamline designed out of a variable R56 bunch compressor chicane. In this paper, we present design and simulation testing for a chicane-based EEX for eventual implementation at Fermilab’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator. We explore several advanced EEX concepts, including bunch current profile shaping, bunch compression, and dispersion-boosting to relax the requirements on TDC power and cooling.
