Micro-bunching instabilities limit the longitudinal compression of bunches in an electron storage ring. They create substructures on the bunch profile of some hundred micrometer size leading to coherently emitted synchrotron radiation in the THz range. To detect the changing THz spectrum, single-shot bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turn measurements are necessary. We present recent experiments at ANKA where the spectral information is extracted by simultaneous detection with several narrowband THz detectors, each of them sensitive in a different frequency range.

MOPOW008 Reverse Undulator Tapering for Polarization Control at XFELs undulator, FEL, resonance, radiation 722

  Baseline design of a typical X-ray FEL undulator assumes a planar configuration which results in a linear polarization of the FEL radiation. However, many experiments at X-ray FEL user facilities would profit from using a circularly polarized radiation. As a cheap upgrade one can consider an installation of a short helical afterburner, but then one should have an efficient method to suppress powerful linearly polarized background from the main undulator. We describe a method for such a suppression: an application of the reverse taper in the main undulator*. In a certain range of the taper strength, the density modulation (bunching) at saturation is practically the same as in the case of non-tapered undulator while the power of linearly polarized radiation is suppressed by orders of magnitude. Then strongly modulated electron beam radiates at full power in the afterburner. The scheme was successfully tested at LCLS** and is routinely used in user experiments. In this contribution we present the theoretical description of the method as well as the results of experiments with reverse taper at FLASH2.

  As an injector to the future FAIR facility, the UNILAC accelerator is required to deliver ion beams with high intensities as well as good beam quality. The electrodes of the current HSI RFQ are exhausted and the current RFQ itself is assigned to be one bottle-neck for improving the brilliance performance of the whole linac. Based on the so-called NFSP (New Four-Section Procedure) method, a new RFQ electrode design has been developed and optimized for 20 emA, U4+ beams at the RFQ entrance. Since only the electrodes will be replaced, the RFQ length has been kept unchanged. Even with a lowered inter-vane voltage, the new RFQ design has achieved better beam performance compared to the previous design. This paper will focus on the performed study with respect to beam dynamics.

  The microbunching instability (MBI) is a well-known problem for high brightness electron beams and has been observed at accelerator facilities around the world. Free-electron lasers (FELs) are particularly susceptible to MBI, which can distort the longitudinal phase space and increase the beam's slice energy spread (SES). Past studies of MBI at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) relied on optical transition radiation to infer the existence of microbunching. With the development of the x-band transverse deflecting cavity (XTCAV), we can for the first time directly image the longitudinal phase space at the end of the accelerator and complete a comprehensive study of MBI, revealing both detailed MBI behavior as well as insights into mitigation schemes [1]. The fine time resolution of the XTCAV also provides the first LCLS measurements of the final SES, a critical parameter for many advanced FEL schemes. Detailed MBI and SES measurements can aid in understanding MBI mechanisms, benchmarking simulation codes, and designing future high-brightness accelerators.

  In order simulate the dynamics of an electron bunch due to the self-interaction with its own coherent synchrotron radiation it is a well established method to numerically solve the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation. In this paper we present a new, modularly extensible program that uses OpenCL to massively parallelize the computation, allowing a standard desktop PC to work with appropriate accuracy and yield reliable results within minutes. We provide numerical stability studies of over a huge parameter range and comparisons of our numerical results to other techniques.

  An accelerator test facility, t-ACTS, was established at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University, in which an intense coherent terahertz (THz) radiation is generated from an extremely short electron bunch. Velocity bunching scheme in a traveling-wave accelerating structure is employed to produce the short electron bunch, and a production of sub-picosecond electron bunch was demonstrated. A long-period linear undulator, which has 25 periods with a period length of 10 cm and a peak magnetic field of 0.41 T, has been developed to produce intense coherent THz radiation. Properties of the radiation from the THz undulator such as radiation fields, spectrum and angular distribution were numerically investigated based on the parameters of short electron bunch and THz undulator. By optimization of bunch compression, it is possible to extract a coherent radiation of fundamental mode excluding higher-order mode. The detail of the numerical studies for the coherent undulator radiation will be reported in the conference.

  A test-Accelerator as Coherent Terahertz Source (t-ACTS) project has been under development at Research Center for Electron Photon Science, Tohoku University. In order to generate a coherent radiation in terahertz (THz) region, it is necessary to produce sub-picosecond electron pulses. Velocity bunching scheme is employed for the short electron pulse production in t-ACTS. We experimentally confirmed the production of short electron pulse under 500 fs by measuring the bunch length using a streak camera. Coherent transition radiation in THz region was produced by which the short electron pulses pass through a vacuum-metal interface. Several radiation properties including spatial distribution, polarization and spectrum were measured and compared with theoretical calculations. The details of the beam experiment at t-ACTS are described.

  Modern cargo inspection system applies dual-energy X-ray for material discrimination. Based on the com-pact C-band 6 MeV standing-wave accelerating struc-tures developed at Tsinghua University, a compact C-band 4/8 MeV dual-energy accelerator has been pro-posed, fabricated and tested. Compared with that of the conventional S-band 3/6 MeV dual-energy accelera-tor at Tsinghua University, the volume and the weight of the C-band one has been reduced by ~40% and ~30%, respectively. Detailed review of this C-band dual-energy accelerator is present in the paper.

  The IREN facility (Intense Resonance Neutron Source) is now been tested and upgraded in JINR. The linear electron accelerator LUE-200 is used to generate intense fluxes of resonant photo-neutrons. Linac should deliver up to 200 MeV electron beam with 1 A or more current in 100 - 200 ns pulses. It consists of electron source, LEBT including buncher and two main accelerating sections (only one is installed up to now). Test operations shows that beam loading sufficiently influences the output beam parameters and beam energy after first section decreases from planned 55-60 MeV to 35 MeV. The buncher doesn't provide an efficient beam bunching also and beam recapturing by main section due to this is very low. Dynamics of the electron beam for traveling wave S-band linac LUE-200 was studied by numerical simulations. In report results of beam dynamics simulation and optimization taking into account beam loading discuss, parameters for new more effective buncher presents and first results of such buncher development shows.

  Joint team of CORAD and MEPhI developed a new industrial accelerating structure for average beam power up to 20 kW and energy range from 7.5 to 10 MeV. The use of modern methods and codes for beam dynamics simulation, raised coupling coefficient and group velocity of SW biperiodic accelerating structure allowed to reach high pulse power utilization and obtain high efficiency. Gentle buncher provides high capturing coefficient and narrow energy spectrum. The first linear accelerator with this structure was constructed and tested in collaboration with the company EB Tech.

At the 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source DELTA operated by the TU Dortmund University, ultrashort and coherent radiation pulses in the VUV and THz regime are routinely generated by the interaction of electron bunches with 45-fs laser pulses. A laser-induced modulation of the electron energy is converted into a density modulation (microbunching) by a magnetic chicane, giving rise to coherent emission at harmonics of the initial laser wavelength (coherent harmonic generation, CHG). As a first step towards active control of the shape and spectrum of CHG pulses, spectral studies were performed under variation of the chicane strength and the laser properties. The spectral phase of the laser pulses was controlled by tuning the compressor of the laser amplifier and was monitored using FROG (frequency-resolved optical gating). In this paper, monochromator scans as well as single-shot spectrograms of the CHG radiation are presented and compared to simulations of the laser-electron interaction and microbunching process. In addition, other results from the short-pulse facility as well as a future upgrade employing the echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) scheme will be outlined.

  Coherent x-ray photons are generated by a free electron laser (FEL). In PAL-XFEL, a photon beam with a 0.1 nm wavelength is generated from an electron bunch based on self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE). An electron bunch with an uncorrelated energy spread in a level of 3 keV, which is generated from the photocathode RF gun, may be sensitive to longitudinal micro-bunching instability. The energy spread of an electron bunch can be increased to suppress the instability by Landau damping. In order to control the uncorrelated energy spread, a laser heater system, which has a chicane with four dipoles chicane and a 0.5 m long undulator, was installed in the injector test facility (ITF) of PAL. In this paper, we introduce the parameters of the laser heater and heating effect on the electron bunch.
