  We study turn-by-turn fluctuations in the number of emitted photons in an undulator, installed in the IOTA electron storage ring at Fermilab with an InGaAs PIN photodiode and an integrating circuit. Our study was motivated by the previous experiment *. We propose a theoretical model for the experimental data from * and in our own experiment we attempted to verify the model in an independent and more systematic way. Moreover, these fluctuations are an interesting subject for a study by itself, since they act as a seed for SASE in FELs. We improve the precision of the measurements from * by subtracting the average signal amplitude using a comb filter with a one-turn IOTA delay, and by using a special algorithm for noise subtraction. We obtain a reasonable agreement between our theoretical model and experiment. Along with repeating the experiment from *, which was performed at a constant beam current, we also collect data for fluctuations in undulator light at different beam current values. Lastly, in our experiment we were able to see the transition from Poisson statistics to Super-Poisson statistics for undulator light, whereas in * only the latter statistics was observed.

  A single electron orbiting around a ring and emitting single quanta at the rate of about one event per hundred turns could produce a wealth of information about physical processes in large traps (i.e. storage rings) for charged particles. It should be noted that Paul and Penning traps in the 1980s led to the Nobel prize for studying state and motion of single quantum particles, and just recently the Penning trap technique has enabled the measurement of a single proton magnetic moment with an unprecedented precision of 10 decimal places. The information from the storage ring traps could also be used for characterization of a quantum system as well as the "trap" itself, i.e. measuring properties of the storage ring lattice and electron interaction with the laser fields. Although, the interest in single electron quantum processes today is mostly academic in nature, the diagnostics and methodology developed for single electron radiation studies could find subsequent applications in a variety of applied disciplines in quantum technology, including quantum communications and quantum computing.

  Recent experimental efforts have shown strongly tapered undulator interactions to be the most efficient means for exchanging energy between relativistic electron beams and electro-magnetic fields. The Rubicon Inverse Free Electron Laser (IFEL) accelerator demonstrated up to 100 MeV/m acceleration gradients, producing high quality mono-energetic beams. In separate experiments, it was also shown that this acceleration could occur at high rep-rates, and the accelerated beams could be used to produce X-rays through Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS). The Nocibur experiment demonstrated the reverse process, converting 30% of the energy in a relativistic electron beam to coherent radiation. Combining these concepts, we present here a novel scheme where a laser, re-circulated in an optical cavity drives an IFEL interaction, accelerating a 200 MeV beam up to 1 GeV, at which point an ICS interaction can be used to produce gamma rays. This is followed by a Nocibur-like interaction, decelerating the beam below it’s initial energy, replenishing the laser energy absorbed in the acceleration stage as well as compensating for cavity losses.
