Funding: This is experiment is supported by an ongoing DOE Phase I Small Business Initiative for Research (SBIR) Grant, number DE–-SC0009550. The removal of residual chirp in XFELs is of paramount importance for efficient lasing. Although current S-band XFELs remove the unwanted residual chirp using off-crest acceleration after the final bunch compressor, this technique is not possible for XFELs with soft X-ray lines as there are no further accelerating structures. The off-crest dechirping technique is also expensive for future superconducting XFELs. In response, RadiaBeam Systems presents its work, building upon the theoretical work of Bane and Stupakov*, in RF-free residual chirp mitigation using only passive techniques. Beam-induced longitudinal wakefields are produced with opposing corrugated plates which allow for an entirely RF-free chirp removal. Theory, engineering, and experimental results are presented. * K.L.F. Bane, G. Stupakov, Nucl. Inst. Meth. 690 (2012) 106-110 |

THPAC32 | Transverse Beam Profile Diagnostic Using Fiber Optic Array | 1205 |

Funding: This work is supported by U.S. D.O.E Contract Number DE-SC0000870 The fiber-mesh diagnostic (FMD) is a transverse beam profile diagnostic based on the emission and detection of Cherenkov radiation produced as a relativistic electron beam traverses through an ordered bundle of fiber optics (SiO2), arranged in a hexagonal close-pack configuration. Sub-10μm transverse beam profile resolution is attainable due to fiber optic core concentricity. Adequate SNR is achieved using a standard CCD sensor. A fiber optic taper input maximizes light collection efficiency by coupling each output channel to approximately single-pixel pitch. A v-groove holder and assembly process was developed to hold many fiber layers in the desired configuration. In this paper, we present results from a fully functional FMD prototype evaluated at the BNL ATF facility that demonstrates the efficacy of this diagnostic. |
