MOPHO25 | Removal of Residual Chirp in Compressed Beams Using a Passive Wakefield Technique | 291 |
|

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 |

TUPSM27 | High-power Tests and Initial Electron Beam Measurements of the New High-gradient Normal Conducting RF Photoinjector System for the Sincrotrone Trieste | 694 |
|
||
Radiabeam Technologies, in collaboration with UCLA, presents the development of a high gradient normal conducting radio frequency (NCRF) 1.6 cell photoinjector system, termed the Fermi Gun II, for the Sincrotrone Trieste (ST) facility. Designed to operate with a 120MV/m accelerating gradient, this single feed, fat lipped racetrack coupler design is modeled after the LCLS photoinjector with a novel demountable cathode which permits cost effective cathode exchange. Full overview of the project to date, installation, high-power RF conditioning and initial electron beam emittance measurements at Sincrotrone Trieste will be discussed along with basic design, engineering and manufacturing. | ||
