  The longitudinal phase space characteristics of space-charge dominated electron beams are keys to achieving bunch compression for the accelerator-based THz source at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ). Such a THz source is proposed as a prototype for an accelerator-based THz source for pump-probe experiments at the European XFEL. A start-to-end simulation has suggested the settings of the phase of booster linear accelerator manipulating longitudinal beam characteristics to optimize the performance of the THz FEL. Although beam diagnostics after compression at PITZ are limited, the longitudinal beam characteristics as a function of the booster phase have been measured and compared with the corresponding simulations. The benchmark involves measurements of longitudinal phase space distribution for bunch charges up to 2 nC. The measurement technique assigned uses 50-um slits to achieve higher momentum and time resolution (1.8 keV/c and 0.5 ps, respectively).

  Free-electron lasers in the X-ray regime require a high-brightness electron beam, i.e. an electron beam with high current and low transverse emittance. At the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) high-brightness electron sources are optimized for the use at FLASH and European XFEL. A low transverse emittance of the electron beam’s central part, which is assumed to be the lasing slices, is of particular interest for the efficient FEL operation. Over the past years a slice emittance measurement scheme has been developed at PITZ which employs an rf deflector and additional quadrupole magnets along the beamline to the standard measurement procedure for the projected emittance (single-slit scan). It allows measuring the slice emittance in a high-brightness photo injector. Transversely flat-top shaped laser pulses of different temporal distributions (Gaussian and flat-top) have been used to emit electrons, as well as transversely-truncated Gaussian laser pulses with temporal Gaussian shape. The paper shows that the lowest slice emittance in the injector is reached with a temporal flattop shape, or when using a transversely-truncated Gaussian shape.
