MOPRO066 | Status of FLUTE | 231 |
|
||
FLUTE, a new linac-based test facility and THz source is currently being built at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in collaboration with DESY and PSI. It consists of an RF photo gun and a traveling wave linac accelerating electrons to beam energies of ~41 MeV in the charge range from a few pC up to 3 nC. The electron bunch will then be compressed in a magnetic chicane in the range of 1 - 300 fs, depending on the charge, in order to generate coherent THz radiation with high peak power. An overview of the simulation and hardware status is given in this contribution. | ||

WEPRO036 | Construction and First Magnetic Field Test of a Superconducting Transversal Gradient Undulator for the Laser Wakefield Accelerator in Jena. | 2022 |
|
||
Funding: This work is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research under contract no. 05K10VK2 and 05K10SJ2. A superconducting transversal gradient undulator (TGU), tailored to the particular beam properties of the laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) at the University of Jena, has been designed and constructed at KIT. This undulator in combination with a specialized beam transport line will be employed to produce undulator radiation with natural bandwidth despite the relatively large energy spread of the electrons produced by the LWFA. The fabrication of this undulator and first results of the magnetic field measurement are discussed in this paper. |

THOBA03 | Beam Transport System from a Laser Wakefield Accelerator to a Transverse Gradient Undulator | 2803 |
|
||
Funding: This work is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research under contract no. 05K10VK2. The transport and matching of electron beams generated by a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) is a major challenge due to their large energy spread and divergence. Strong focussing magnets and a chromatic correction are required. This contribution discusses the layout of the beam transport optics for a diagnostic beamline at the LWFA in Jena, Germany. The aim of this optics is to match the betatron functions and the dispersion to the field of a transverse gradient undulator (TGU) such that monochromatic undulator radiation is generated despite the large energy spread. |

THPME123 | Electro-optical Bunch Length Monitor for FLUTE: Layout and Simulations | 3527 |
|
||
Funding: This work is funded by the European Union under contract PITN-GA-2011-289191 A new compact linear accelerator FLUTE is currently under construction at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in collaboration with DESY and PSI. It aims at obtaining femtosecond electron bunches (~1fs - 300 fs) with a wide charge range (1 pC - 3 nC) and requires a precise bunch length diagnostic system. Here we present the layout of a bunch length monitor based on the electro-optic technique of spectral decoding using an Yb-doped fiber laser system (central wavelength 1030 nm) and a GaP crystal. Simulations of the electro-optic signal for different operation modes of FLUTE were performed and main challenges are discussed in this talk.
