MOPAB035 | Modified Lattice of the Compact Storage Ring in the cSTART Project at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology | 159 |
|
||
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. | ||

MOPAB280 | Split Ring Resonator Experiment - Simulation Results | 888 |
|
||
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. |

TUPAB087 | Full Characterization of the Bunch-Compressor Dipoles for FLUTE | 1585 |
|
||
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. |

TUPAB255 | Longitudinal Beam Dynamics and Coherent Synchrotron Radiation at cSTART | 2050 |
|
||
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. | ||

WEPAB103 | Systematic Beam Parameter Studies at the Injector Section of FLUTE | 2837 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by the DFG-funded Doctoral School "Karlsruhe School of Elementary and Astroparticle Physics: Science and Technology (KSETA)" FLUTE (Ferninfrarot Linac- und Test-Experiment) is a compact linac-based test facility for accelerator R&D and source of intense THz radiation for photon science. 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. |

THPAB251 | Efficient Terahertz Generation by Tilted-Pulse-Front Pumping in Lithium Niobate for the Split-Ring Resonator Experiment at FLUTE | 4299 |
|
||
Funding: This work is co-funded via the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation program, GA No 730871, ARIES. 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. |
