As part of the R&D for the 50 MeV ThomX Compton source project, we have studied the effect of several beam dynamics processes on the evolution of the beam in the ring. The processes studied include among others Compton scattering, intrabeam scattering, coherent synchrotron radiation. We have performed extensive simulations of a full injection/extraction cycle (400000 turns). We show how each of these processes degrades the flux of photons produced and how a feedback system contributes to recovering most of the flux.

A collaboration of seven research institutes and an industry has been set up for the ThomX project, a compact Compton Backscattering Source (CBS) based in Orsay – France. After a period of study and definition of the machine performances a complete description of all the systems has been provided. The infrastructures work is started and the main systems are in the call for tender phase. In this paper we will illustrate the definitive machine parameters and components characteristics. We will also update the results of the different ongoing R&D on optical resonators, fast power supplies for the injection kickers and on the electron gun.

The Compton back-scattering based compact X-ray source ThomX is under construction in LAL/IN2P3, CNRS, France. This machine will serve as a demonstrator in producing up to 1013 ph/s for imaging and cultural heritage recovery. The high level applications of the ThomX machine for the future commissioning and operations are being developed using Matlab Middle Layer (MML) which is broadly used in the modern synchrotron light sources. In this article, we report the nearest progresses of high level applications of the ThomX machine, and present the nonlinear response matrices to correct the tune, chromaticity and orbit, and the algorithm to correct the orbit in the transfer line.

THPME094 Measurement of Low-charged Electron Beam with a scintillator Screen 3456

  Measuring electron beam charge lower than 1pC is very challenging since the traditional diagnostics, like Faraday Cup and ICT, are limited in resolution to a few pC. A way to simply measure lower charge would be to use the linear relation, existing before saturation regime, between the incident charge and the total light intensity emitted by a YAG screen. Measurement has been performed on PHIL accelerator at LAL, with charge lower than 50pC, with a YAG screen located just in front of a Faraday Cup. It shows a very good linear response of the YAG screen up to the Faraday Cup resolution limit (2pC) and therefore allows calibrating the YAG screen for lower charge measurement with an estimated precision of 4%. A noise analysis allows estimating the YAG screen resolution limit around 40fC. Results of low charge measurement on PHIL will be shown and compared to those coming from a diamond detector installed on PHIL, in order to validate the measurement principle and to determine its precision and resolution limit. Such simple measurement may thereafter be used as single-shot charge diagnostic for electron beam generated and accelerated by laser-plasma interaction.

  The goal of 3-phase method is to determine the length of an electron beam without dedicated diagnostics by varying the measurement conditions of its energy spread, through a change in the RF phase of an accelerating structure. The originality here comes from the fact that it is applied on high-brightness electron beams of few MeV generated by RF photo-injectors. It allows testing the accuracy of 3-phase method, since the length to reconstruct is known as being that of the laser pulse generating the beam. It requires establishing the longitudinal transfer matrix of a RF photo-injector, which is difficult since the electron velocity vary from 0 to relativistic during its path*. The 3-phase method in RF photo-injector has been simulated by ASTRA and PARMELA codes, validating the principle of the method. First measurement has been done on PHIL accelerator at LAL, showing a good agreement with the expected length. I will then show results obtained at PITZ with a standing wave booster and a comparison with those coming from a Cerenkov detector. Finally, measurements at higher energy performed on the SOLEIL LINAC with travelling wave accelerating structures will be exposed.
