Pre-bunching a beam at a resonance condition with an accelerating structure vastly improves performance of beam-driven accelerators and undulators since it enhances a beam-wave coupling. We plan to test a slit-mask micro-buncher at the chicane of Fermilab-ASTA 50 MeV beamline in the effort of advanced accelerator research. With the chicane design parameters (bending angle (alpha) of 18 degree, R56 ~ - 0.18 m, and bending radius of ~ 0.78 m), analytic model showed that a slit-mask with W (period) = 900 um and a (aperture width) = 300 um (30 % transparency) generates 100 um spaced micro-bunches with 5 ~ 6 % correlated energy spread. Two kinds of combined beamline simulation, CST-PS+Impact-Z and Elegant+Shower, including space charge and CSR effects, showed that a 900 um spaced, 300 um wide slits placed in the middle of chicane splits 20 pC – 1 nC bunches into ~ 100 um spaced micro-bunches. It is possible that a further optimization of mask design creates sub-100 fs micro-bunches, which is currently under development. [1] NIM A 375, 597 (1996) [2] PRL 101, 054801 (2008) [3] Y.-E Sun, P.

	An important asset of Fermilab’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) is its ability to generate flat beams with high-transverse emittance ratios. In this paper, we present a practical design and simulation of flat beam generation and compression with various bunch charges up to 3.2 nC. Emittance growth within the round-to-flat beam transformer and the impact of low energy compression is discussed in detail. Finally, it is found that the compressed flat beam could provide exciting opportunities in the field of advanced acceleration techniques and accelerator-based light source.

An important asset of Fermilab’s Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) is its ability to generate flat beams with high-transverse emittance ratios. In this paper, we present a practical design and simulation of flat beam generation and compression with various bunch charges up to 3.2 nC. Emittance growth within the round-to-flat beam transformer and the impact of low energy compression is discussed in detail. Finally, it is found that the compressed flat beam could provide exciting opportunities in the field of advanced acceleration techniques and accelerator-based light source.
