| The beam phase relative to the accelerating field is of vital importance for the quality of photon beams produced in modern Free Electron Lasers based on superconducting (SC) cavities. Normally, the phase is determined by detecting the transient field induced by the beam. In this way the phase of each cavity is checked and adjusted typically every few months. In this paper, we present another means of beam phase determination, based on higher order modes (HOMs) excited in the 2nd monopole band by the beam inside the SC cavities. A circuit model of this HOM band is also presented. Various effects on the resolution have been studied. Circuit model simulations indicate the resolution is strongly dependent on the signal to noise ratio. Preliminary experimental results, based on a broadband setup, reveal an approximately 0.1o RMS resolution. These are in good agreement with simulation results. The work will pave the way for a dedicated system of beam phase monitoring, which is under development for the European XFEL. This will be the first implementation of a dedicated beam phase monitor, based on beam-excited HOMs in accelerating cavities. | ||

Funding: The work is part of EuCARD-2, partly funded by the European Commission, GA 31245. N.~Y.~Joshi receives additional funding from The Cockcroft Institute of Science and Technology. The European-XFEL is being fabricated in Hamburg to serve as an X-ray Free Electron Laser (FEL) light source. The electron beam will be accelerated through linacs consisting of 1.3 GHz superconducting cavities along a length of 2.1 km. In addition, third harmonic cavities will improve the quality of the beam by linearising the field profile and hence reducing the energy spread. There are eight 3.9 GHz cavities within a single module AH1 of E-XFEL. The beam-excited electromagnetic (EM) field in these cavities can be decomposed into a series of eigenmodes. These modes are, in general, not cut-off between one cavity and the next, as they are able to couple to each other throughout the module. Here for the first time, we evaluate components of the scattering matrix for module AH1. This is a computationally expensive system, and hence we employ a Generalized Scattering Matrix (GSM) technique to allow rapid computation with reduced memory requirements. Verification is provided on reduced structures, which are compared to finite element mesh-based codes. The mode spectrum for the dipole bands of interest in an eight-cavity chain have been calculated and external Q factors for the modes are derived. |
