| MOPWA029 | Investigations of the Space-Charge-Limited Emission in the L-Band E-Xfel Photoinjector at Desy-Pitz | 162 |

Funding: work supported by DESY Hamburg and Zeuthen Sites This paper discusses the numerical modelling of electron bunch emission for an L-band normal conducting RF photogun. The main objective is clarifying the discrepancies between measurements and simulations performed for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (E-XFEL) injector at DESY-PITZ. An iterative beam dynamics simulation procedure is proposed for the calculation of the total extracted bunch charge under the assumption that the emission source operates at the space-charge limit of the gun. This algorithm has been implemented in the three-dimensional full electromagnetic PIC Solver of the CST Particle Studio (CST-PS)*. Simulation results are in good agreements with measurements for a series of operation parameters. Further comparisons with a conventional Poisson-solver-based (PSB) tracking algorithm demonstrates the great significance of transient electromagnetic field effects for the beam dynamics in high brightness electron sources. * Computer Simulation Technology AG, http://www.cst.com/ |

| TUPWA046 | Facility Upgrade at PITZ and First Operation Results | 1518 |

| The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ), develops, optimizes and characterizes high brightness electron sources for free electron lasers like FLASH and the European XFEL. In the last year, the facility was significantly upgraded by the installation of a new normal conducting radio- frequency (RF) gun cavity with its new waveguide system for the RF feed, which should allow stable and reliable gun operation, as required for the European XFEL. Other relevant additions include beamline modifications for improving the electron beam transport through the PITZ accelerator, extending the beam-based measurement capabilities, and preparing the installation of a plasma cell. Furthermore, the laser hutch was re-arranged in order to be able to house an additional, new photo cathode drive laser system which should be able to produce 3D ellipsoidal laser pulses to further improve the electron beam quality. This paper describes in detail the aforementioned facility upgrades and reports on the first operation experience with the new gun setup. | ||

| TUPWA047 | First Results Attained With the Quasi 3-D Ellipsoidal Photo Cathode Laser Pulse System at the High Brightness Photo Injector PITZ | 1522 |

Funding: Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) project 05K10CHE in the framework of the German-Russian collaboration "Development and Use of Accelerator-Based Photon Sources". 3-D ellipsoidal photo cathode laser pulses are considered as the next step in optimization of photo injectors required for a successful operation of linac based free electron lasers. Beam dynamics simulations using such laser pulses compared to conventional cylindrical pulses have shown a significant improvement in electron beam emittance. In collaboration with the Institute of Applied Physics (Nizhny Novgorod, Russia) and the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) such a 3-D ellipsoidal laser pulse system has been developed and afterwards installed at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The pulse shaping is realized using the spatial light modulator technique. This allows very fine amplitude modulation within a laser pulse. The characterization of the shape of the laser pulses can be done by cross-correlation measurements. Using this method the ability to generate and measure quasi ellipsoidal laser pulses has been demonstrated. In this contribution the overall set-up, working principle and first results received with the new photo cathode laser system at PITZ will be reported. |

| WEPWA005 | Simulations Study for Self-Modulation Experiment at PITZ | 2496 |

| Self-modulation (SM) of proton beams in plasma has recently gained interest in context with the ongoing PWFA experiment of the AWAKE collaboration at CERN. Instrumental for that experiment is the SM of a proton beam to generate bunchlets for resonant wave excitation and efficient acceleration. A fundamental understanding of the underlying physics is vital, and hence an independent experiment has been set up at the beamline of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY, Zeuthen Site (PITZ), to study the SM of electron beams in a plasma. This contribution presents simulation results on SM experiments at PITZ using the particle-in-cell code HiPACE. The simulation study is crucial to optimize the beam and plasma parameters for the experiment. Of particular interest is the energy modulation imprinted onto the beam by means of the generated wakefields in the plasma. With the support of simulations the observation of this information in the experiment can be used to deduce key properties of the accelerating electric fields such as their magnitude and their phase velocity, both of significant importance for the design of self-modulated plasma-based acceleration experiments. | ||
