MOPHO19 | A Tunable Energy Chirp Correction | 279 |

Funding: DOE SBIR Short (subpicosecond) pulses are central to many of the next generation light source initiatives that are based on linear accelerators. Beam compression is performed by means of a chicane utilizing a correlated linear energy chirp. The small energy chirp is kept as the beam goes through the remaining accelerating stage to compensate for wakefield effects. It is necessary to compensate the residual energy spread before the beam enters the undulator stage. We present here a concept for a passive wakefield device- the wakefield silencer- to perform this compensation. We have recently demonstrated a passive energy chirp correction by self-wakefield at the Brookhaven ATF facility. In this paper we present a progress report on development of these tunable chirp correction devices. |
