| TPAE067 | Femtosecond Electron Diffraction and its Application for Beam Characterization at the PAL | 3721 |

| Electron diffraction is widely used in electron microscopy to obtain ultrahigh magnification factor, or crystallography to determine the internal structure of the molecule. High energy electron (MeV) has been used to probe the solid state thick sample, now being explored for femto-second electron diffraction (FED) to determine the transient structure of the molecule. We are proposing to perform FED using a photocathode RF gun at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), and develop an advanced electron beam diagnostic tool based on the electron diffraction. In this paper we will study how the diffraction pattern can be used to extract the information on the beam’s divergence. With a well-known sample, such as aluminum foil, whose internal structure is predetermined, the diffraction pattern for both single electron and the electron beam with a given divergence distribution can be calculated. Our proposed technique shows great potential of electron diffraction in beam divergence characterization. An experiment to verify the practicality of this method is under preparation and will be carried out at the proposed high brightness R&D facility at the PAL) in the near future. | ||

Funding: Supported by the POSCO and the MOST, Korea. A X-Ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) project based on the Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) is under progress at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL). One of the critical R&D for the PAL XFEL* is to develop the Pohang Photo-Injector (PPI) which is required to deliver electron beams with normalized emittance < 1.5 mm-mrad. In order to achieve the required beam quality with high stability and reliability, we will use photocathode with quantum efficiency > 0.1 % and long lifetime. This will greatly lessen the laser energy requirement for producing flat-top UV pulses, and open the possibility of using only regenerative amplifiers (RGAs) to drive the photocathode RF gun. The RGAs can produce mJs output with much better stability than multi-pass amplifiers. Both the Cs2Te and Mg are under consideration for the possible photo-cathode. To demonstrate the suitability of the Mg and Cs2Te for the future 4th generation light source application, an improved BNL-type S-band RF gun with a high-performance load-lock system will be developed for the PPI. In this article, we present the design concept of the PPI, the expected performance, and report on its development status. *J.S. Oh, S.J.

| WPAP022 | Measurements of Transverse Emittance for RF Photocathode Gun at the PAL | 1760 |

Funding: Supported by the POSCO and the MOST, Korea. A BNL GUN-IV type RF photo-cathode gun is under fabrication for use in the FIR (Far Infra-Red) facility being built at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL). Performance test of the gun will include the measurement of transverse emittance profile along the longitudinal direction. Successful measurement of the emittance profile will provide powerful tool for the commissioning of the 4GLS (4th generation light source) injectors based on the emittance compensation principle. We are going to achieve this withthe use of pepper-pot based emittance meters that can be moved along the longitudinal direction. In this article, we present design considerations on the emittance meter with the resolution of 1 mm mrad. |

Funding: Supported by the PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project). A proton linear accelerator is currently the construction at the KAERI (Korea Atomic Research Institute) to the PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project) in Korea. We are accomplished the technique development of beam diagnostic system to be currently the construction. We treat beam diagnostics for the high power proton linear accelerator. Prototype beam position & phase monitor (BPPM) electronics was made and tested successfully in one of the beam diagnostic systems. The beam position monitor pickup electrode is a capacitive type (electrostatic type) which has a button form. Button form electrode, in common use around electron synchrotrons and storage rings, are a variant of the electrode with small button form (e.g., sub mm diameter). However, we are designed button form electrode to measure beam position of proton beam. The BCM (Beam Current Monitor) is developed Tuned CT (Current Transformer) for collaborate with Bergoz Instruments. This paper describes the status of beam diagnostic systems for the PEFP. |

| RPAT008 | Prototype Digital Beam Position and Phase Monitor for the 100-MeV Proton Linac of PEFP | 1120 |

Funding: Work supported by the PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project), Korea. The PEFP (Proton Engineering Frontier Project) at the KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) is building a high-power proton linear accelerator aiming to generate 100-MeV proton beams with 20-mA peak current (pulse width and max. repetition rate of 1 ms and 120 Hz respectively). We are developing a prototype digital BPPM (Beam Position and Phase Monitor) for the PEFP linac utilizing the digital technology with field programmable gate array (FPGA). The RF input signals are down converted to 10 MHz and sampled at 40 MHz with 14-bit ADC to produce I and Q data streams. The system is designed to provide a position and phase resolution of 0.1% and 0.1? RMS respectively. The fast digital processing is networked to the EPICS-based control system with an embedded processor (Blackfin). In this paper, the detailed description of the prototype digital beam position and phase monitor will be described with the performance test results. |

| We present recent experiment results on the fast ion instability that were performed at the PLS storage ring. With higher vacuum pressures of three orders of magnitude than nominal one by He gas injection into the ring, increases of a factor of around three in the vertical beam size were observed by interferometer system. From the various measurement results, we estimated growth times for the instability as a funcion of vacuum pressure and beam current. We also compared the results with those of the computer simulations and analytical calculations. |
