MOPAB035	Modified Lattice of the Compact Storage Ring in the cSTART Project at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology	159
	A.I. Papash, E. Bründermann, B. Härer, A.-S. Müller, R. Ruprecht, J. Schäfer, M. Schuh KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	A very large acceptance compact storage ring (VLA-cSR) is under design at the Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany). The combination of a compact storage ring and a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) might be the basis for future compact light sources and advancing user facilities. Meanwhile, the post-LWFA beam should be adapted for storage and accumulation in a dedicated storage ring. Modified geometry and lattice of a VLA-cSR operating at 50 MeV energy range have been studied in detailed simulations. The main features of a new model are described here. The new design, based on 45° bending magnets, is suitable to store the post-LWFA beam with a wide momentum spread (1% to 2%) as well as ultra-short electron bunches in the fs range from the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test- Experiment (FLUTE). The DBA-FDF lattice with relaxed settings, split elements, and higher-order optics of tolerable strength allows improving the dynamic aperture to an acceptable level. This contribution discusses the lattice features in detail and different possible operation schemes of a VLA-cSR.

MOPAB036	Different Operation Regimes at the KIT Storage Ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator)	163
	A.I. Papash, M. Brosi, E. Huttel, A. Mochihashi, A.-S. Müller, R. Ruprecht, P. Schreiber, M. Schuh, N.J. Smale KIT, Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany
	The KIT storage ring KARA operates in a wide energy range from 0.5 to 2.5 GeV. Different operation modes have been implemented at KARA, so far, the double-bend achromat (DBA) lattice with non-dispersive straight sections, the theoretical minimum emittance (TME) lattice with distributed dispersion, different versions of low-compaction factor optics with highly stretched dispersion function. Short bunches of a few ps pulse width are available at KARA. Low-alpha optics has been simulated, tested and implemented in a wide operational range of the storage ring and is now routinely used at 1.3 GeV for studies of beam bursting effects caused by coherent synchrotron radiation in the THz frequency range. Different non-linear effects, in particular residual high-order components of the magnetic field, generated in high-field superconducting wigglers have been studied and cured. Based on good agreement between computer simulations and experiments, a new operation mode at high vertical tune was implemented. The beam performance during user operation as well as at low-alpha regimes has been improved. A specific optic with negative compaction factor was simulated, tested and is in operation.

MOPAB037	On Possibility of Alpha-buckets Detecting at the KIT Storage Ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator)	167
	A.I. Papash, T. Boltz, M. Brosi, A.-S. Müller, R. Ruprecht, P. Schreiber, M. Schuh, N.J. Smale KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	Computer studies of longitudinal motion have been performed with the objective to estimate the possibility of detection of alpha-buckets at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator). The longitudinal equations of motion and the Hamiltonian were expanded to high order terms of the energy deviation of particles in a beam. Roots of third order equation for three leading terms of momentum compaction factor and free energy independent term were derived in a form suitable for analytical estimations. Averaged quadratic terms of closed orbit distortions caused by misalignment of magnetic elements in a ring lead to orbit lengthening independent of particle energy deviation. Particle transverse excursions were estimated and are taken into account. Simulations have been bench-marked on existing experiments at Metrology Light Source (MLS) in Berlin (Germany) and SOLEIL (France). Parameters of three simultaneous beams and alpha buckets at MLS and SOLEIL have been reproduced with high accuracy. A computer model of KARA was used to predict behavior and the dynamics of possible simultaneous beams in the ring.

	S. Fatehi, A. Bernhard, A.-S. Müller, M.S. Ning KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	Funding: This work is supported by the BMBF project 05K19VKA PlasmaFEL (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). Laser-plasma acceleration is an outstanding candidate to drive the next-generation compact light sources and FELs. To compensate large chromatic effects using novel compact beam optic elements in the beam transport line is required. We aim at designing miniature, high strength, normal conducting and superconducting transport line magnets and optics for capturing and matching LPA-generated electron bunches to given applications. Our primary application case is a demonstration experiment for transverse gradient undulator (TGU) FELs, to be performed at the JETI laser facility, Jena, Germany.

MOPAB280	Split Ring Resonator Experiment - Simulation Results	888
	J. Schäfer, B. Härer, A. Malygin, A.-S. Müller, M. Nabinger, M.J. Nasse, T. Schmelzer, M. Schuh, T. Windbichler KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	Funding: Supported by "Karlsruhe School of Elementary and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA)" and European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme. FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) is a compact linac-based test facility for accelerator and diagnostics R&D. An example for a new accelerator diagnostics tool currently studied at FLUTE is the split-ring-resonator (SRR) experiment, which aims to measure the longitudinal bunch profile of fs-scale electron bunches. Laser-generated THz radiation is used to excite a high frequency oscillating electromagnetic field in the SRR. Particles passing through the SRR gap are time-dependently deflected in the vertical plane, which allows a vertical streaking of an electron bunch. This principle allows a diagnosis of the longitudinal bunch profile in the femtosecond time domain and will be tested at FLUTE. This contribution presents an overview of the SRR experiment and the results of various tracking simulations for different scenarios as a function of laser pulse length and bunch charge. Based on these results possible working points for the experiments at FLUTE will be proposed.

G.N. and E.B. acknowledge support by the Helmholtz President’s strategic fund IVF "Plasma Accelerators". Electro-optical (EO) methods are nowadays well-proven diagnostic tools, which are utilized to detect THz fields in countless experiments. The world’s first near-field EO sampling monitor at an electron storage ring was developed and installed at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) and optimized to detect longitudinal bunch profiles. This experiment with other diagnostic techniques builds a distributed, synchronized sensor network to gain comprehensive data about the phase-space of electron bunches as well as the produced coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). These measurements facilitate studies of physical conditions to provide, at the end, intense and stable CSR in the THz range. At KIT, we also operate FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- und Test-Experiment), a new compact versatile linear accelerator as a test facility for novel techniques and diagnostics. There, EO diagnostics will be implemented to open up possibilities to evaluate and compare new techniques for longitudinal bunch diagnostics. In this contribution, we will give an overview of results achieved, the current status of the EO diagnostic setups at KARA and FLUTE and discuss future prospects.

For measuring the temporal profile of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) an experimental setup based on electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) is currently being implemented. The EOSD technique allows single-shot, phase-sensitive measurements of the far-field radiation on a turn-by-turn basis at rates in the MHz range. Therefore, the resulting THz radiation from the dynamics of the bunch evolution, e.g. the microbunching, can be observed with high temporal resolution. This far-field setup is part of the distributed sensor network at KARA. Additionally to the information acquired from the near-field EOSD spectral decoding and the horizontal bunch profile monitor, it enables to monitor the longitudinal phase-space of the bunch. In this contribution, the characterization of the far-field setup is summarized and its implementation is discussed.

TUPAB087	Full Characterization of the Bunch-Compressor Dipoles for FLUTE	1585
	Y. Nie, A. Bernhard, E. Bründermann, A.-S. Müller, M.J. Nasse, R. Ruprecht, J. Schäfer, M. Schuh, Y. Tong KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	Funding: This work is supported by the BMBF project 05H18VKRB1 HIRING (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). The Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE) is a KIT-operated linac-based test facility for accelerator research and development as well as a compact, ultra-broadband and short-pulse terahertz (THz) source. As a key component of FLUTE, the bunch compressor (chicane) consisting of four specially designed dipoles will be used to compress the 40-50 MeV electron bunches after the linac down to single fs bunch length. The maximum vertical magnetic field of the dipoles reach 0.22 T, with an effective length of 200 mm. The good field region is ±40 mm and ±10.5 mm in the horizontal and vertical direction, respectively. The latest measurement results of the dipoles in terms of field homogeneity, excitation and field reproducibility within the good field regions will be reported, which meet the predefined specifications. The measured 3D magnetic field distributions have been used to perform beam dynamics simulations of the bunch compressor. Effects of the real field properties on the beam dynamics, which are different from that of the ASTRA built-in dipole field, will be discussed.

	The laser-driven generation of relativistic electron beams in plasma and their acceleration to high energies with GV/m-gradients has been successfully demonstrated. Now, it is time to focus on the application of laser-plasma accelerated (LPA) beams. The "Accelerator Technology HElmholtz iNfrAstructure" (ATHENA) of the Helmholtz Association fosters innovative particle accelerators and high-power laser technology. As part of the ATHENAe pillar several different applications driven by LPAs are to be developed, such as a compact FEL, medical imaging and the first realization of LPA-beam injection into a storage ring. The latter endeavor is conducted in close collaboration between Deutsche Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Helmholtz Institute Jena. In the cSTART project at KIT, a compact storage ring optimized for short bunches and suitable to accept LPA-based electron bunches is in preparation. In this conference contribution we will introduce the 50 MeV LPA-based injector and give an overview about the project goals. The key parameters of the plasma injector will be presented. Finally, the current status of the project will be summarized.

	The compact STorage ring for Accelerator Research and Technology (cSTART) project aims to store electron bunches of LWFA-like beams in a very large momentum acceptance storage ring. The project will be realized at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany). Initially, the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE), a source of ultra-short bunches, will serve as an injector for cSTART to benchmark and emulate laser-wakefield accelerator-like beams. In a second stage a laser-plasma accelerator will be used as an injector, which is being developed as part of the ATHENA project in collaboration with DESY and Helmholtz Institute Jena (HIJ). With an energy of 50 MeV and damping times of several seconds, the electron beam does not reach equilibrium emittance. Furthermore, the critical frequency of synchrotron radiation is 53 THz and in the same order as the bunch spectrum, which implies that the entire bunch radiates coherently. We perform longitudinal particle tracking simulations to investigate the evolution of the bunch length and spectrum as well as the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation. Finally, different options for the RF system are discussed.

TUPAB267	Investigation of Beam Impedance and Heat Load in a High Temperature Superconducting Undulator	2089
	D. Astapovych, H. De Gersem, E. Gjonaj TEMF, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany T.A. Arndt, E. Bründermann, N. Glamann, A.W. Grau, B. Krasch, A.-S. Müller, R. Nast, D. Saez de Jauregui, A. Will KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	The use of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials can enhance the performance of superconducting undulators (SCU), which can later be implemented in free electron laser facilities, synchrotron storage rings and light sources. In particular, the short period < 10 mm undulators with narrow magnetic gap < 4 mm are relevant. One of the promising approaches considers a 10 cm meander-structured HTS tapes stacked one above the other. Then, the HTS tape is wound on the SCU. The idea of this jointless undulator has been proposed by, and is being further developed at KIT. Since minimizing the different sources of heat load is a critical issue for all SCUs, a detailed analysis of the impedance and heat load is required to meet the cryogenic system design. The dominant heat source is anticipated to be the resistive surface loss, which is one of the subjects of this study. Considering the complexity of the HTS tape, the impedance model includes the geometrical structure of the HTS tapes as well as the anomalous skin effect. The results of the numerical investigation performed by the help of the CST PS solver will be presented and discussed.

	Funding: This work is supported by the BMBF project 05H18VKRB1 HIRING (Federal Ministry of Education and Research). The COLDDIAG (cold vacuum chamber for beam heat load diagnostics) developed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has been modified for more studies at cryogenic temperatures different from the previous operations at 4 K in a cold bore and at 50 K in a thermal shield. The key components in this campaign are two thermal transitions connecting both ends of the bore at 50 K with the shield at the same or higher temperature. In this paper, we present design efforts for the compact transitions, allowed heat intakes to the cooling power margin and mechanical robustness in the cryogenic environment. A manufacture scheme for the transition and its peripheral is also given. In addition, the beam heat loads in the refurbished COLDDIAG are estimated in terms of the accelerator beam parameters.

WEPAB233	Excitation of Micro-Bunching in Short Electron Bunches Using RF Amplitude Modulation	3173
	T. Boltz, E. Blomley, M. Brosi, E. Bründermann, B. Härer, A. Mochihashi, A.-S. Müller, P. Schreiber, M. Schuh, M. Yan KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	In its short-bunch operation mode, the KIT storage ring KARA provides picosecond-long electron bunches, which emit coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) up to the terahertz frequency range. Due to the high spatial compression under these conditions, the self-interaction of the bunch with its own emitted CSR induces a wake-field, which significantly influences the longitudinal charge distribution. Above a given threshold current, this leads to the formation of dynamically evolving micro-structures within the bunch and is thus called micro-bunching instability. As CSR is emitted at wavelengths corresponding to the spatial dimension of the emitter, these small structures lead to an increased emission of CSR at higher frequencies. The instability is therefore deliberately induced at KARA to provide intense THz radiation to dedicated experiments. To further increase the emitted power in the desired frequency range, we consider the potential of RF amplitude modulations to intentionally excite this form of micro-bunching in short electron bunches. This work is supported by the BMBF project 05K19VKC TiMo (Federal Ministry of Education and Research).

WEPAB240	Increasing the Single-Bunch Instability Threshold by Bunch Splitting Due to RF Phase Modulation	3193
	J.L. Steinmann, E. Blomley, M. Brosi, E. Bründermann, A. Mochihashi, A.-S. Müller, M. Schuh, P. Schönfeldt KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	Funding: This work is funded by the BMBF contract number: 05K16VKA. RF phase modulation at twice the synchrotron frequency can be used to split a stored electron bunch into two or more bunchlets orbiting each other. We report on time-resolved measurements at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), where this bunch splitting was used to increase the threshold current of the microbunching instability, happening in the short-bunch operation mode. Turning the modulation on and off reproducibly affects the sawtooth behavior of the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation.

WEPAB246	Influence of Different Beam Energies on the Micro-Bunching Instability	3209
	M. Brosi, A.-S. Müller, P. Schreiber, M. Schuh KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany
	During the operation of an electron synchrotron with short electron bunches, the beam dynamics are influenced by the occurrence of the micro-bunching instability. This collective instability is caused by the self-interaction of a short electron bunch with its own emitted coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). Above a certain threshold bunch current dynamic micro-structures start to occur on the longitudinal phase space density. The resulting dynamics depend on various parameters and were previously investigated in relation to, amongst others, the momentum compaction factor and the acceleration voltage. In this contribution, the influence of the energy of the electrons on the dynamics of the micro-bunching instability is studied based on measurements at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator).

	Funding: C. Xu acknowledges the support by the DFG-funded Doctoral School "Karlsruhe School of Elementary and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology". FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- und Test-Experiment) at KIT is a compact linac-based test facility for novel accelerator technology and a source of intense THz radiation. FLUTE is designed to provide a wide range of electron bunch charges from the pC- to nC-range, high electric fields up to 1.2 GV/m, and ultra-short THz pulses down to the fs-timescale. The electrons are generated at the RF photoinjector, where the electron gun is driven by a commercial titanium sapphire laser. In this kind of setup the electron beam properties are determined by the photoinjector, but more importantly by the characteristics of the laser pulses. Spatial light modulators can be used to transversely and longitudinally shape the laser pulse, offering a flexible way to shape the laser beam and subsequently the electron beam, influencing the produced THz pulses. However, nonlinear effects inherent to the laser manipulation (transportation, compression, third harmonic generation) can distort the original pulse. In this paper we propose to use machine learning methods to manipulate the laser and electron bunch, aiming to generate tailor-made THz pulses. The method is demonstrated experimentally in a test setup.

	Funding: This work is supported by the BMBF project 05K19VKD STARTRAC and DFG-funded Doctoral School ’Karlsruhe School of Elementary and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology’ KALYPSO is a novel detector capable of operating at frame rates up to 12 MHz developed and tested at the institute of data processing and electronics (IPE) and employed at Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) which is part of the Test Facility and Synchrotron Radiation Source KIT. This detector consists of silicon, InGaAs, PbS, or PbSe line array sensor with spectral sensitivity from 350 nm to 5000 nm. The unprecedented frame rate of this detector is achieved by a custom-designed ASIC readout chip. The FPGA-readout architecture enables continuous data acquisition and real-time data processing. Such a detector has various applications in the fields of beam diagnostics and spectral analysis. KALYPSO is currently employed at various synchrotron facilities for electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) to study the longitudinal profile of the electron beam, to study the energy spread of the electron beam, tuning of free-electron lasers (FELs), and also in characterizing laser spectra. This contribution will present an overview of the results from the mentioned applications.

THPAB042	Bending Radius Limits of Different Coated REBCO Conductor Tapes - An Experimental Investigation with Regard to HTS Undulators	3837
	S.C. Richter, A. Bernhard, A. Drechsler, A.-S. Müller, B. Ringsdorf, S.I. Schlachter KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany S.C. Richter, D. Schoerling CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
	Funding: This work has been sponsored by the Wolfgang Gentner Programme of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (grant no. 05E18CHA). Compact FELs require short-period, high-field undulators in combination with compact accelerator structures to produce coherent light up to X-rays. Likewise, for the production of low emittance positron beams for future lepton colliders, like CLIC or FCC-ee, high-field damping wigglers are required. Applying high-temperature superconductors in form of coated REBCO tape conductors allows reaching higher magnetic fields and larger operating margins as compared to low-temperature superconductors like Nb-Ti or Nb₃Sn. However, short undulator periods like 13 mm may require bending radii of the conductor smaller than 5 mm inducing significant bending strain on the superconducting layer and may harm its conducting properties. In this paper, we present our designed bending rig and experimental results for REBCO tape conductors from various manufacturers and with different properties. Investigated bending radii reach from 20 mm down to 1 mm and optionally include half of a helical twist. To represent magnet winding procedures, the samples were bent at room temperature and then cooled down to T = 77 K in the bent state to test for potential degradation of the superconducting properties.

THPAB048	Design and Fabrication Concepts of a Compact Undulator with Laser-Structured 2G-HTS Tapes	3851

	To produce small-scale high-field undulators for table-top free electron lasers (FELs), compact designs have been proposed using high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, which show both large critical current densities and high critical magnetic fields with a total tape thickness of about 50 μm and a width of up to 12 mm. Instead of winding coils, a meander structure can be laser-scribed directly into the superconductor layer, guiding the current path on a quasi-sinusoidal trajectory. Stacking pairs of such scribed tapes allows the generation of the desired sinusoidal magnetic fields above the tape plane, along the tape axis. Two practically feasible designs are presented, which are currently under construction at KIT: A coil concept wound from a single structured tape with a length of 15 m, which is a progression of a design that has been presented already in the past, as well as a novel stacked and soldered design, made from 25 cm long structured tapes, soldered in a zig-zag-pattern. In this contribution the designs are briefly recapped and the experimental progress is presented.

	A 40-period superconducting transverse gradient undulator (TGU) has been designed and fabricated at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Combining a TGU with a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA) is a potential key for realizing an extremely compact Free Electron Laser (FEL) radiation source. The TGU scheme is a viable option to compensate the challenging properties of the LWFA electron beam in terms of beam divergence and energy spread. In this contribution, we report on the operational experience of this TGU inside its own cryostat and show the current status of the TGU and the further plan for experiments.

A compact, longitudinal diagnostics for fs-scale electron bunches using a THz electric-field transient in a split-ring resonator (SRR) for streaking will be tested at the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test- Experiment (FLUTE). For this new streaking technique, intensive THz pulses are required, which will be generated by laser-based optical rectification. We present a setup for generating THz pulses using tilted-pulse-front pumping in lithium niobate at room temperature. Excited by an 800 nm Ti:Sa pump laser with 35 fs bandwidth-limited pulse length, conversion efficiencies up to 0.027% were achieved. Furthermore, the status of the SRR experiment is shown.

The longitudinal and transverse beam dynamics of these electron bunches can be investigated and characterized by experiments employing linear array detectors. To improve the performance of modern beam diagnostics and overcome the limitations of commercially available detectors, we have at KIT developed KALYPSO, a detector system operating with an unprecedented frame rate of up to 12 MHz. To facilitate the integration in different experiments, a modular architecture has been utilized. Different semiconductor microstrip sensors based on Si, InGaAs, PbS, and PbSe can be connected to the custom-designed low noise front-end ASIC to optimize the quantum efficiency at different photon energies, ranging from near-UV, visible, and up to near-IR. The front-end electronics are integrated within a heterogeneous DAQ consisting of FPGAs and GPUs, which allows the implementation of real-time data processing. This detector is currently installed at KARA, European XFEL, FLASH, Soleil, DELTA. In this contribution, we present the detector architecture, the performance results, and the ongoing technical developments.

A very large acceptance compact storage ring (VLA-cSR) is under design at the Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany). The combination of a compact storage ring and a laser wakefield accelerator (LWFA) might be the basis for future compact light sources and advancing user facilities. Meanwhile, the post-LWFA beam should be adapted for storage and accumulation in a dedicated storage ring. Modified geometry and lattice of a VLA-cSR operating at 50 MeV energy range have been studied in detailed simulations. The main features of a new model are described here. The new design, based on 45° bending magnets, is suitable to store the post-LWFA beam with a wide momentum spread (1% to 2%) as well as ultra-short electron bunches in the fs range from the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test- Experiment (FLUTE). The DBA-FDF lattice with relaxed settings, split elements, and higher-order optics of tolerable strength allows improving the dynamic aperture to an acceptable level. This contribution discusses the lattice features in detail and different possible operation schemes of a VLA-cSR.

The KIT storage ring KARA operates in a wide energy range from 0.5 to 2.5 GeV. Different operation modes have been implemented at KARA, so far, the double-bend achromat (DBA) lattice with non-dispersive straight sections, the theoretical minimum emittance (TME) lattice with distributed dispersion, different versions of low-compaction factor optics with highly stretched dispersion function. Short bunches of a few ps pulse width are available at KARA. Low-alpha optics has been simulated, tested and implemented in a wide operational range of the storage ring and is now routinely used at 1.3 GeV for studies of beam bursting effects caused by coherent synchrotron radiation in the THz frequency range. Different non-linear effects, in particular residual high-order components of the magnetic field, generated in high-field superconducting wigglers have been studied and cured. Based on good agreement between computer simulations and experiments, a new operation mode at high vertical tune was implemented. The beam performance during user operation as well as at low-alpha regimes has been improved. A specific optic with negative compaction factor was simulated, tested and is in operation.

On Possibility of Alpha-buckets Detecting at the KIT Storage Ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator)

Computer studies of longitudinal motion have been performed with the objective to estimate the possibility of detection of alpha-buckets at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator). The longitudinal equations of motion and the Hamiltonian were expanded to high order terms of the energy deviation of particles in a beam. Roots of third order equation for three leading terms of momentum compaction factor and free energy independent term were derived in a form suitable for analytical estimations. Averaged quadratic terms of closed orbit distortions caused by misalignment of magnetic elements in a ring lead to orbit lengthening independent of particle energy deviation. Particle transverse excursions were estimated and are taken into account. Simulations have been bench-marked on existing experiments at Metrology Light Source (MLS) in Berlin (Germany) and SOLEIL (France). Parameters of three simultaneous beams and alpha buckets at MLS and SOLEIL have been reproduced with high accuracy. A computer model of KARA was used to predict behavior and the dynamics of possible simultaneous beams in the ring.

Laser-plasma acceleration is an outstanding candidate to drive the next-generation compact light sources and FELs. To compensate large chromatic effects using novel compact beam optic elements in the beam transport line is required. We aim at designing miniature, high strength, normal conducting and superconducting transport line magnets and optics for capturing and matching LPA-generated electron bunches to given applications. Our primary application case is a demonstration experiment for transverse gradient undulator (TGU) FELs, to be performed at the JETI laser facility, Jena, Germany. In this contribution, we present the current design of the beam transport line magnets and the beam optics calculations.

FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment) is a compact linac-based test facility for accelerator and diagnostics R&D. An example for a new accelerator diagnostics tool currently studied at FLUTE is the split-ring-resonator (SRR) experiment, which aims to measure the longitudinal bunch profile of fs-scale electron bunches. Laser-generated THz radiation is used to excite a high frequency oscillating electromagnetic field in the SRR. Particles passing through the SRR gap are time-dependently deflected in the vertical plane, which allows a vertical streaking of an electron bunch. This principle allows a diagnosis of the longitudinal bunch profile in the femtosecond time domain and will be tested at FLUTE. This contribution presents an overview of the SRR experiment and the results of various tracking simulations for different scenarios as a function of laser pulse length and bunch charge. Based on these results possible working points for the experiments at FLUTE will be proposed.

Electro-optical (EO) methods are nowadays well-proven diagnostic tools, which are utilized to detect THz fields in countless experiments. The world’s first near-field EO sampling monitor at an electron storage ring was developed and installed at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) and optimized to detect longitudinal bunch profiles. This experiment with other diagnostic techniques builds a distributed, synchronized sensor network to gain comprehensive data about the phase-space of electron bunches as well as the produced coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). These measurements facilitate studies of physical conditions to provide, at the end, intense and stable CSR in the THz range. At KIT, we also operate FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- und Test-Experiment), a new compact versatile linear accelerator as a test facility for novel techniques and diagnostics. There, EO diagnostics will be implemented to open up possibilities to evaluate and compare new techniques for longitudinal bunch diagnostics. In this contribution, we will give an overview of results achieved, the current status of the EO diagnostic setups at KARA and FLUTE and discuss future prospects.

For measuring the temporal profile of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator) an experimental setup based on electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) is currently being implemented. The EOSD technique allows single-shot, phase-sensitive measurements of the far-field radiation on a turn-by-turn basis at rates in the MHz range. Therefore, the resulting THz radiation from the dynamics of the bunch evolution, e.g. the microbunching, can be observed with high temporal resolution. This far-field setup is part of the distributed sensor network at KARA. Additionally to the information acquired from the near-field EOSD spectral decoding and the horizontal bunch profile monitor, it enables to monitor the longitudinal phase-space of the bunch. In this contribution, the characterization of the far-field setup is summarized and its implementation is discussed.

The Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE) is a KIT-operated linac-based test facility for accelerator research and development as well as a compact, ultra-broadband and short-pulse terahertz (THz) source. As a key component of FLUTE, the bunch compressor (chicane) consisting of four specially designed dipoles will be used to compress the 40-50 MeV electron bunches after the linac down to single fs bunch length. The maximum vertical magnetic field of the dipoles reach 0.22 T, with an effective length of 200 mm. The good field region is ±40 mm and ±10.5 mm in the horizontal and vertical direction, respectively. The latest measurement results of the dipoles in terms of field homogeneity, excitation and field reproducibility within the good field regions will be reported, which meet the predefined specifications. The measured 3D magnetic field distributions have been used to perform beam dynamics simulations of the bunch compressor. Effects of the real field properties on the beam dynamics, which are different from that of the ASTRA built-in dipole field, will be discussed.

The laser-driven generation of relativistic electron beams in plasma and their acceleration to high energies with GV/m-gradients has been successfully demonstrated. Now, it is time to focus on the application of laser-plasma accelerated (LPA) beams. The "Accelerator Technology HElmholtz iNfrAstructure" (ATHENA) of the Helmholtz Association fosters innovative particle accelerators and high-power laser technology. As part of the ATHENAe pillar several different applications driven by LPAs are to be developed, such as a compact FEL, medical imaging and the first realization of LPA-beam injection into a storage ring. The latter endeavor is conducted in close collaboration between Deutsche Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Helmholtz Institute Jena. In the cSTART project at KIT, a compact storage ring optimized for short bunches and suitable to accept LPA-based electron bunches is in preparation. In this conference contribution we will introduce the 50 MeV LPA-based injector and give an overview about the project goals. The key parameters of the plasma injector will be presented. Finally, the current status of the project will be summarized.

The compact STorage ring for Accelerator Research and Technology (cSTART) project aims to store electron bunches of LWFA-like beams in a very large momentum acceptance storage ring. The project will be realized at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany). Initially, the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test-Experiment (FLUTE), a source of ultra-short bunches, will serve as an injector for cSTART to benchmark and emulate laser-wakefield accelerator-like beams. In a second stage a laser-plasma accelerator will be used as an injector, which is being developed as part of the ATHENA project in collaboration with DESY and Helmholtz Institute Jena (HIJ). With an energy of 50 MeV and damping times of several seconds, the electron beam does not reach equilibrium emittance. Furthermore, the critical frequency of synchrotron radiation is 53 THz and in the same order as the bunch spectrum, which implies that the entire bunch radiates coherently. We perform longitudinal particle tracking simulations to investigate the evolution of the bunch length and spectrum as well as the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation. Finally, different options for the RF system are discussed.

The use of high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials can enhance the performance of superconducting undulators (SCU), which can later be implemented in free electron laser facilities, synchrotron storage rings and light sources. In particular, the short period < 10 mm undulators with narrow magnetic gap < 4 mm are relevant. One of the promising approaches considers a 10 cm meander-structured HTS tapes stacked one above the other. Then, the HTS tape is wound on the SCU. The idea of this jointless undulator has been proposed by, and is being further developed at KIT. Since minimizing the different sources of heat load is a critical issue for all SCUs, a detailed analysis of the impedance and heat load is required to meet the cryogenic system design. The dominant heat source is anticipated to be the resistive surface loss, which is one of the subjects of this study. Considering the complexity of the HTS tape, the impedance model includes the geometrical structure of the HTS tapes as well as the anomalous skin effect. The results of the numerical investigation performed by the help of the CST PS solver will be presented and discussed.

The COLDDIAG (cold vacuum chamber for beam heat load diagnostics) developed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has been modified for more studies at cryogenic temperatures different from the previous operations at 4 K in a cold bore and at 50 K in a thermal shield. The key components in this campaign are two thermal transitions connecting both ends of the bore at 50 K with the shield at the same or higher temperature. In this paper, we present design efforts for the compact transitions, allowed heat intakes to the cooling power margin and mechanical robustness in the cryogenic environment. A manufacture scheme for the transition and its peripheral is also given. In addition, the beam heat loads in the refurbished COLDDIAG are estimated in terms of the accelerator beam parameters.

New operation modes are often considered during the development of new synchrotron light sources. An understanding of the effects involved is inevitable for a successful operation of these schemes. At the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator), new modes can be implemented and tested at various energies, employing a variety of performant beam diagnostics devices. Negative momentum compaction optics at various energies have been established. Also, the influence of a negative momentum compaction factor on different effects has been investigated. This contribution comprises a short report on the status of the implementation of a negative momentum compaction optics at KARA. Additionally, first measurements of the changes to the current-dependent bunch length will be presented.

In preparation for the next experiments, the electron beam of the injector section of FLUTE has been characterized. In systematic studies the electron beam parameters, e.g., beam energy and emittance, are measured with several diagnostic systems. This knowledge allows the establishment of different operation settings and the optimization of electron beam parameters for future experiments.

Excitation of Micro-Bunching in Short Electron Bunches Using RF Amplitude Modulation

In its short-bunch operation mode, the KIT storage ring KARA provides picosecond-long electron bunches, which emit coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) up to the terahertz frequency range. Due to the high spatial compression under these conditions, the self-interaction of the bunch with its own emitted CSR induces a wake-field, which significantly influences the longitudinal charge distribution. Above a given threshold current, this leads to the formation of dynamically evolving micro-structures within the bunch and is thus called micro-bunching instability. As CSR is emitted at wavelengths corresponding to the spatial dimension of the emitter, these small structures lead to an increased emission of CSR at higher frequencies. The instability is therefore deliberately induced at KARA to provide intense THz radiation to dedicated experiments. To further increase the emitted power in the desired frequency range, we consider the potential of RF amplitude modulations to intentionally excite this form of micro-bunching in short electron bunches. This work is supported by the BMBF project 05K19VKC TiMo (Federal Ministry of Education and Research).

RF phase modulation at twice the synchrotron frequency can be used to split a stored electron bunch into two or more bunchlets orbiting each other. We report on time-resolved measurements at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), where this bunch splitting was used to increase the threshold current of the microbunching instability, happening in the short-bunch operation mode. Turning the modulation on and off reproducibly affects the sawtooth behavior of the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation.

Influence of Different Beam Energies on the Micro-Bunching Instability

3209

M. Brosi, A.-S. Müller, P. Schreiber, M. Schuh
KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany

During the operation of an electron synchrotron with short electron bunches, the beam dynamics are influenced by the occurrence of the micro-bunching instability. This collective instability is caused by the self-interaction of a short electron bunch with its own emitted coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). Above a certain threshold bunch current dynamic micro-structures start to occur on the longitudinal phase space density. The resulting dynamics depend on various parameters and were previously investigated in relation to, amongst others, the momentum compaction factor and the acceleration voltage. In this contribution, the influence of the energy of the electrons on the dynamics of the micro-bunching instability is studied based on measurements at the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator).

FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- und Test-Experiment) at KIT is a compact linac-based test facility for novel accelerator technology and a source of intense THz radiation. FLUTE is designed to provide a wide range of electron bunch charges from the pC- to nC-range, high electric fields up to 1.2 GV/m, and ultra-short THz pulses down to the fs-timescale. The electrons are generated at the RF photoinjector, where the electron gun is driven by a commercial titanium sapphire laser. In this kind of setup the electron beam properties are determined by the photoinjector, but more importantly by the characteristics of the laser pulses. Spatial light modulators can be used to transversely and longitudinally shape the laser pulse, offering a flexible way to shape the laser beam and subsequently the electron beam, influencing the produced THz pulses. However, nonlinear effects inherent to the laser manipulation (transportation, compression, third harmonic generation) can distort the original pulse. In this paper we propose to use machine learning methods to manipulate the laser and electron bunch, aiming to generate tailor-made THz pulses. The method is demonstrated experimentally in a test setup.

KALYPSO is a novel detector capable of operating at frame rates up to 12 MHz developed and tested at the institute of data processing and electronics (IPE) and employed at Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) which is part of the Test Facility and Synchrotron Radiation Source KIT. This detector consists of silicon, InGaAs, PbS, or PbSe line array sensor with spectral sensitivity from 350 nm to 5000 nm. The unprecedented frame rate of this detector is achieved by a custom-designed ASIC readout chip. The FPGA-readout architecture enables continuous data acquisition and real-time data processing. Such a detector has various applications in the fields of beam diagnostics and spectral analysis. KALYPSO is currently employed at various synchrotron facilities for electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD) to study the longitudinal profile of the electron beam, to study the energy spread of the electron beam, tuning of free-electron lasers (FELs), and also in characterizing laser spectra. This contribution will present an overview of the results from the mentioned applications.

Compact FELs require short-period, high-field undulators in combination with compact accelerator structures to produce coherent light up to X-rays. Likewise, for the production of low emittance positron beams for future lepton colliders, like CLIC or FCC-ee, high-field damping wigglers are required. Applying high-temperature superconductors in form of coated REBCO tape conductors allows reaching higher magnetic fields and larger operating margins as compared to low-temperature superconductors like Nb-Ti or Nb₃Sn. However, short undulator periods like 13 mm may require bending radii of the conductor smaller than 5 mm inducing significant bending strain on the superconducting layer and may harm its conducting properties. In this paper, we present our designed bending rig and experimental results for REBCO tape conductors from various manufacturers and with different properties. Investigated bending radii reach from 20 mm down to 1 mm and optionally include half of a helical twist. To represent magnet winding procedures, the samples were bent at room temperature and then cooled down to T = 77 K in the bent state to test for potential degradation of the superconducting properties.

To produce small-scale high-field undulators for table-top free electron lasers (FELs), compact designs have been proposed using high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, which show both large critical current densities and high critical magnetic fields with a total tape thickness of about 50 μm and a width of up to 12 mm. Instead of winding coils, a meander structure can be laser-scribed directly into the superconductor layer, guiding the current path on a quasi-sinusoidal trajectory. Stacking pairs of such scribed tapes allows the generation of the desired sinusoidal magnetic fields above the tape plane, along the tape axis. Two practically feasible designs are presented, which are currently under construction at KIT: A coil concept wound from a single structured tape with a length of 15 m, which is a progression of a design that has been presented already in the past, as well as a novel stacked and soldered design, made from 25 cm long structured tapes, soldered in a zig-zag-pattern. In this contribution the designs are briefly recapped and the experimental progress is presented.

A 40-period superconducting transverse gradient undulator (TGU) has been designed and fabricated at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Combining a TGU with a Laser Wakefield Accelerator (LWFA) is a potential key for realizing an extremely compact Free Electron Laser (FEL) radiation source. The TGU scheme is a viable option to compensate the challenging properties of the LWFA electron beam in terms of beam divergence and energy spread. In this contribution, we report on the operational experience of this TGU inside its own cryostat and show the current status of the TGU and the further plan for experiments. This work is supported by the BMBF project 05K19VKA PlasmaFEL (Federal Ministry of Education and Research).

A compact, longitudinal diagnostics for fs-scale electron bunches using a THz electric-field transient in a split-ring resonator (SRR) for streaking will be tested at the Ferninfrarot Linac- Und Test- Experiment (FLUTE). For this new streaking technique, intensive THz pulses are required, which will be generated by laser-based optical rectification. We present a setup for generating THz pulses using tilted-pulse-front pumping in lithium niobate at room temperature. Excited by an 800 nm Ti:Sa pump laser with 35 fs bandwidth-limited pulse length, conversion efficiencies up to 0.027% were achieved. Furthermore, the status of the SRR experiment is shown.

Synchrotron light sources operate with bunch repetition rates in the MHz regime. The longitudinal and transverse beam dynamics of these electron bunches can be investigated and characterized by experiments employing linear array detectors. To improve the performance of modern beam diagnostics and overcome the limitations of commercially available detectors, we have at KIT developed KALYPSO, a detector system operating with an unprecedented frame rate of up to 12 MHz. To facilitate the integration in different experiments, a modular architecture has been utilized. Different semiconductor microstrip sensors based on Si, InGaAs, PbS, and PbSe can be connected to the custom-designed low noise front-end ASIC to optimize the quantum efficiency at different photon energies, ranging from near-UV, visible, and up to near-IR. The front-end electronics are integrated within a heterogeneous DAQ consisting of FPGAs and GPUs, which allows the implementation of real-time data processing. This detector is currently installed at KARA, European XFEL, FLASH, Soleil, DELTA. In this contribution, we present the detector architecture, the performance results, and the ongoing technical developments.
