Longitudinal density modulations on electron beams can improve machine performance of beam-driven accelerators and FELs with resonance beam-wave coupling *. The sub-ps beam modulation has been studied with a masked chicane ** *** by the analytic model and simulations with the beam parameters of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) in Fermilab. With the nominal 50 MeV chicane parameters and 3 ps bunch length, the analytic model showed that a slit-mask with slit period 900 um and aperture width 300 μm generates about 100-um modulation periodicity with 2.4% correlated energy spread. With the designed slit mask and a 3 ps bunch, particle-in-cell simulations (CST-PS), including nonlinear energy distributions, space charge force, and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) effect, also result in ~ 100 um of longitudinal modulation. The beam modulation has been extensively examined with three different beam conditions, 0.25, 1 , and 3.2 nC, by extended 3D tracking simulations (Elegant). The modulated bunch generation will be tested by a slit-mask installed at the chicane of the ASTA 50-MeV-injector beamline for beam-driven acceleration experiments.

The generation of bright electron beams at the ASTA/IOTA facility at Fermilab includes implementation of a versatile bunch-length monitor located after the 4-dipole chicane bunch compressor for electron beam energies of 20-50 MeV and integrated charges in excess of 10 nC. The station will include both a Hamamatsu C5680 synchroscan streak camera and a Martin-Puplett interferometer (MPI). An Al-coated Si screen will be used to generate both optical transition radiation (OTR) and coherent transition radiation (CTR) during the beam’s interaction with the screen. A chicane bypass beamline will allow the measurement of the initial bunch length at the same downstream beamline location using OTR and the streak camera. The UV component of the drive laser has previously been characterized with a Gaussian fit σ of 3.5 ps*, and the uncompressed electron beam is expected to be similar to this value at low charge per micropulse. In addition, OTR will be transported to the streak camera from the focal plane of the downstream spectrometer to provide an E-t distribution within the micropulse time scale. Commissioning of the system and initial results with beam will be presented as available.

  Colorado State University (CSU) and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) have been developing a control system to regulate the resonant frequency of an RF electron gun. As part of this effort, we present experimental results for a benchmark temperature controller that combines a machine learning-based model and a predictive control algorithm for improved settling time, overshoot, and disturbance rejection relative to conventional techniques. Such improvements have implications for machine up-time and management of reflected power. This work is part of an on-going effort to develop adaptive, machine learning-based tools specifically to address control challenges found in particle accelerator systems.

The advanced superconducting test accelerator at Fermilab has accelerated electrons to 20 MeV and, separately, the International Linear Collider (ILC) style 8-cavity cryomodule has achieved the ILC performance milestone of 31.5 MV/m per cavity. When fully completed, the accelerator will consist of a photoinjector, one ILC-type cryomodule, multiple accelerator R&D beamlines, and a downstream beamline to inject 300 MeV electrons into the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator (IOTA). We report on the results of first beam, the achievement of our cryomodule to ILC gradient specifications, and near-term future plans for the facility.
