  Future accelerators will employ advanced beam conditioning systems such as emittance exchangers to manipulate high brightness beams. Coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the dipoles could limit the performance of the emittance exchanger. In this paper, we report the experimental and simulation studies on measuring coherent synchrotron radiation and its effects on the beam at the A0 photoinjector in the emittance exchange line. We show how CSR can be used to measure bunch length of the beam. We also report on the diagnostic scheme based on a weak skew quad in the emittance exchange line to study the CSR effects on the beam and other beam dynamics.

Beam-profile diagnostics are being developed for a superconducting (SC) radiofrequency (RF) Test Accelerator that is currently under construction at the New Muon Lab (NML) at Fermilab. The facility’s design goals include the replication of the pulse train proscribed for the International Linear Collider (ILC). An RF photoelectric gun based on the DESY design will generate the beam. In test-beam mode a low-power beam will be characterized with intercepting radiation converter screens: either a 100-micron thick YAG:Ce single crystal scintillator or a 1-micron thin Al optical transition radiation (OTR) foil. This prototype station was constructed by RadiaBeam Technologies under a contract with Fermilab. In both cases the screen surface was normal to the beam direction followed by a downstream 45-degree mirror that directed the radiation into the optical system. The optical system has better than 20 (10) micron rms spatial resolution when covering a vertical field of view of 18(5) mm. These initial tests were performed at the A0 Photoinjector at a beam energy of ~15 MeV and with micropulse charges from 25 to 500 pC for beam sizes of 45 to 250 microns. Example results will be presented.

  The A0 Photoinjector at Fermilab is presently home to an emittance exchange (EEX) experiment. The emittance exchange beamline consists of a 3.9 GHz normal conducting deflecting mode cavity flanked by two doglegs. Electron bunches with charges of 250 pC and energy of 14.3 MeV are routinely sent through the exchanger. Here we present results of a 1:1 transverse and longitudinal emittance exchange.
