MOPEA019 | Studies of Bunch-bunch Interactions in the ANKA Storage Ring with Coherent Synchrotron Radiation using an Ultra-fast Terahertz Detection System | 109 |

Funding: Supported by Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract No. VH-NG-320 and German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under Grant. Noss. 05K10VKC and 05K2010VKD In the low-alpha operation mode of the ANKA synchrotron light source, coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is emitted from short electron bunches. Depending on the bunch current, the radiation shows bursts of high intensity. These bursts of high intensity THz radiation display a time evolution which can be observed only on long time scales with respect to the revolution period. In addition, long range wake fields can introduce a correlation between the bunches within a bunch train and thus modify the observed behavior. A novel detection system consisting of an ultra-fast superconducting THz detector and data acquisition system was used to investigate correlations visible on the bursting pattern and to study the interactions of very short pulses in the ANKA storage ring. |

MOPME014 | Electro-optical Bunch Length Measurements at the ANKA Storage Ring | 500 |
|
||
Funding: Supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320 and by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under contract number 05K10VKC A setup for near-field electro-optical bunch length measurements has recently been installed into the UHV system of the ANKA storage ring. For electro-optical bunch length measurements during ANKA's low alpha operation, a laser pulse is used to probe the field induced birefringence in an electro-optical crystal (GaP in our case). The setup allows for both electro-optical sampling (EOS, multi-shot) and spectral decoding (EOSD, single- and multi-shot) measurements. This paper presents first results and discusses challenges of this method employed for the first time at a storage ring. |

MOPME015 | Numerical Wakefield Calculations for Electro-optical Measurements | 503 |
|
||
Funding: This project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research under the contract number 05K10VKC The technique of electro-optical measurements allows precise and single-shot measurements of the bunch length and shape. The installation of such a near-field setup changes the impedance of the storage ring and the corresponding effects have to be studied carefully. One possibility is to use numerical codes for simulating the wakefields induced by the setup. Such simulations has been done using the wakefield solver implemented in the CST Studio Suite. In this paper we present the simulation results together with first measurements. |

WEPWA008 | Simulating the Bunch Structure in the THz Source FLUTE | 2141 |
|
||
FLUTE is a planned THz source at KIT operating at a beam energy of 40 to 50 MeV in a wide bunch charge range. It consists of a laser driven rf-gun, a linac and a magnetic bunch compressor. The high current density combined with relatively low energy of FLUTE leads to complex strong self-field and beam-radiation field interactions, which are the limiting factors for the bunch compression efficiency. The results of numerical studies are presented in this paper. | ||
WEPWA009 | RF Bunch Compression Studies for FLUTE | 2144 |
|
||
FLUTE is a planned 40 to 50 MeV accelerator test facility consisting, in the first phase, of an electron gun with an output energy of about 7 MeV, a traveling wave linac and a magnet chicane bunch compressor. The machine will serve as a source of intense THz radiation using coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR), coherent transition radiation (CTR), and coherent edge radiation (CER) as generation mechanisms. It is planned to operate the machine in the charge regime from a few pC up to several nC in order to study bunch compression schemes as well as the THz radiation generation. In this contribution the effect of velocity bunching by using a dedicated buncher cavity at low energy and operating the linac off-crest is studied in order to deliver RMS bunch lengths in the femtosecond range at low charge. | ||
WEPWA010 | FLUTE: A Versatile Linac-based THz Source Generating Ultra-short Pulses | 2147 |
|
||
FLUTE is a linac-based accelerator test facility and a THz source currently being constructed at KIT with an electron beam energy of ~41 MeV. It is designed to cover a large charge range from a few pC to ~3 nC. FLUTE is optimized to provide ultra-short electron bunches with an RMS length down to a few fs. In this contribution, we focus on the layout of the machine from the RF gun & gun laser over the linac and the compressor to the THz beamline for the generation of coherent synchrotron, transition and edge radiation (CSR, CTR, CER). | ||
