The Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA) electron injector at Fermilab will enable a broad range of experiments at a national laboratory in order to study and develop solutions to the limitations that prevent the propagation of high intensity beams at picosecond lengths. One of the most significant complications towards increasing short-beam intensity is space-charge, especially in the vicinity of the gun. A few applications that require a longitudinally shaped electron beam at high intensities are for, the generation of THz waves and dielectric wakefields, each of which will encounter the effects of longitudinal space-charge. This paper investigates the effects of longitudinal space-charge on alpha-BBO UV laser shaped electron bunches in the vicinity of the 1½cell 1.3 GHz cylindrically symmetric RF photocathode gun.

Synchrotrons and storage rings routinely employ RF barrier buckets as a means of accumulating charge to increase the peak intensity and preserve longitudinal emittance while minimizing emittance growth [1-3]. This was shown in the main injector and recycler at Fermilab as well as the SIS-18 at GSI Helmholtz center for heavy ion research. The RF cavities typically used are ferrite loaded magnetic alloys with low Q to maximize bandwidth and generate single pulses, either as delta functions, triangular or half/full period sine waves. The University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER) group is studying a novel scheme of bunch compression in the presence of longitudinal space charge. It has been analytically shown through 1-D computations that the presence of space-charge considerably improves the efficiency of the barrier compression by taking advantage of the shock-front that launches when the barrier moves into a space-charge dominated beam. In this paper, we summarize the initial results of the study.

We present plans for a nonlinear lattice at the University of Maryland Electron Ring (UMER). Theory predicts that a strong nonlinear lattice can limit resonant behavior without reducing dynamic aperture if the nonlinear fields preserve integrability or quasi-integrability. We discuss plans for a quasi-integrable octupole lattice, based on the work of Danilov and Nagaitsev.* We use Elegant and the WARP PIC code to estimate the octupole-induced tune spread. We discuss improvements to the ring in support of octupole lattice experiments, including generation and detection of emittance-dominated, negligible space charge beams.

The ionosphere plays a controlling role in the performance of critical civilian and DoD systems including the ELF-ULF communications. The objective of Ionospheric Modification is to control triggered processes to improve the performance of trans-ionospheric C3I systems and develop new applications that take advantage of the ionosphere as an active plasma medium. A key instrument is the Ionospheric Heater, a powerful HF transmitter that modifies the properties of the ionospheric plasma by modulating the electron temperature at preselected altitudes. A major reason for the development of a mobile source is that it would allow investigators to conduct the needed research at different latitudes without building permanent installations. As part of a MURI, UMD will develop a powerful RF source utilizing IOT technology in class-D amplifier mode. This technology was chosen because it has the potential to operate at very high efficiency. Some of the technical challenges presented in this paper will include a gun design that minimizes intercepted current, a compact tunable cavity, an efficient modulator system capable of modulating a high power beam and output couplers to feed the antennas.
