DC Gun The Jlab UV FEL Driver ERL IR Wiggler SRF Linac Bunching Chicane UV FEL Transport Line Dump
Design Requirements • Power recovery from exhaust beam • Transverse, longitudinal matching • Collective effect/instability control • space charge, • BBU, • FEL/RF interaction • Loss (halo) management • Delivery of appropriately configured beam to FEL • Transverse, longitudinal phase space management • Preservation of beam quality • space charge, wake/collective effects, CSR
Relevant Phenomena • Space charge (transverse, longitudinal) • Inject long (2.5 psec/1.33orms), low momentum spread (~¼%) bunch (LSC) • BBU • CSR • Compress high charge bunch => potentially degrade beam quality (and get clear signature of short bunch) & put power where you don’t want it… • Other wake, impedance effects • RF heating, resistive wall
Design Concept: add-on to IR Upgrade DC Gun • retain beam dynamics solution from IR • Use same modular approach (and same optics modules) as in IR side of machine • divert beam to UV FEL with minimal operational modification IR Wiggler SRF Linac Bunching Chicane UV FEL Transport Line Dump

Phase Space Management • Transport system is “functionally modular”: design embeds specific functions (e.g. transverse matching, dispersion suppression, etc) within localized regions • precludes need for S2E analysis • allows use of potentially ill-defined/poorly controlled components • demands design with operational flexibility • requires use of beam-based methods • needs extensive suite of diagnostics & controls Its a cost-performance optimization (i.e. religious) issue: pay up front for a sufficient understanding of physics, component/hardware quality, or provide operational flexibility and adequate diagnostic capability?
“Modules” for Phase Space Control • Transverse matching – quad telescopes in nondispersed regions; decoupled from longitudinal match • Injector to linac • Linac to recirculator • Match to wiggler • Match out of wiggler to recovery transport • Reinjection match • Longitudinal matching – handled in Bates bends • Path length variable over ~±lRF/2 (for control of 2nd pass RF phase) • Independent control of momentum compaction through third order (M56, T566, W5666) and dispersion through 2nd order (T166, T266) • Relatively decoupled from transverse match • Phase space exchange (IR side only) • H/V exchange using 5 quad rotator for BBU control • Decoupled from transverse, longitudinal matching
Transverse Matching (Linear) • Multiple quad telescopes along transport system massage H/V phase space to match to lattice acceptance • Injector to linac (4 quads) • Linac to recirculator (6 quads) • Match to wiggler (6 quads) • Match wiggler to recovery transport (6 quads) • Reinjection match (6 quads) • Key points • ERLs do not have closed orbits nor do they need to be betatron stable • ERLs may not have uniquely defined “matched” Twiss envelopes • Deliberate “mismatch” (to locally stable transport) may be beneficial • e.g. to manage chromatic aberrations, halo, avoid aperture constraints • Design optimization must explore parameter space to determine “best” choice • Beam envelopes and lattice Twiss parameters are **not** in general the same!
Operationally… • Measure beam envelopes • multislit, quad scan, and/or multi-monitor emittance measurement • Back-propagate results to reference point upstream of matching region • Adjust quads to “match” envelopes to design values and/or acceptance of specific sections of transport system lattice • Caveat: RF focusing is VERY important • dominates behavior in injector • is the “observable” used to set phase on a daily basis • defines injector-to-linac match • Limits tolerable gradient in first (last) cavity
Longitudinal Matching • Space charge forces injection of a long bunch (SRF gradients are too low to preserve beam quality if bunch is short) • Must compress bunch length during/after acceleration to produce high peak current needed by FEL • After lasing, beam energy spread is too large (15-20 MeV) to recover without unacceptable loss • Must energy compress (during energy recovery) to “fit” beam into dump line acceptance The manipulations needed to meet these requirements constitute the longitudinal match

Energy Recovery: Details ERL operational experience has shown how to successfully energy recover; this has implications on system efficiency Longitudinal Match to Wiggler • Inject long, low-energy-spread bunch to avoid LSC problems • need 1-1.5o rms with 1497 MHz RF @ 135 pC in our machine • Chirp on the rising part of the RF waveform • counteracts LSC • phase set-point then determined by required momentum spread at wiggler • Compress (to required order, including curvature/torsion compensation) using recirculator compactions M56, T566, W5666,… • Entire process generates a parallel-to-point longitudinal image from injector to wiggler
Longitudinal Match to Dump • FEL exhaust bunch is short & has very large energy spread (10-15%) • => Must energy compress during energy recovery to avoid beam loss linac during energy recovery; this defines the longitudinal match to dump • Highest energy must be phase-synchronous with (or precede) trough of RF wave-form • Transport momentum compactions must match the slope (M56), curvature (T566), torsion (W5666),… of the RF waveform • Recovered bunch centroid usually not 180o out of phase with accelerated centroid • Not all RF power recovered, but get as close as possible (recover ahead of trough), because… • Additional forward RF power required for field control, acceleration, FEL operation; more power needed for larger phase misalignments • For specific longitudinal match, energy & energy spread at dump does not depend on lasing efficiency, exhaust energy, or exhaust energy spread • Only temporal centroid and bunch length change as lasing conditions change • The match constitutes a point-to-parallel image from wiggler to dump
E E E t t t Energy Compression All e- after trough go into high-energy tail at dump • Beam central energy drops, beam energy spread grows • Recirculator energy must be matched to beam central energy to maximize acceptance • Beam rotated, curved, torqued to match shape of RF waveform • Maximum energy can’t exceed peak deceleration available from linac • Corollary: entire bunch must preced trough of RF waveform
Higher Order Corrections E • Without nonlinear corrections, phase space becomes distorted during deceleration • Curvature, torsion,… can be compensated by nonlinear adjustments • differentially move phase space regions to match gradiant required for energy compression t • Required phase bite is cos-1(1-DEFEL/E); this is >25o at the RF fundamental for 10% exhaust energy spread, >30o for 15% • typically need 3rd order corrections (octupoles) • also need a few extra degrees for tails, phase errors & drifts, irreproducible & varying path lengths, etc, so that system operates reliably • In this context, harmonic RF very hard to use…

E E E E f f f f E E f f Longitudinal Matching Scenario Requirements on phase space: • high peak current (short bunch) at FEL • bunch length compression at wiggler using quads and sextupoles to adjust compactions • “small” energy spread at dump • energy compress while energy recovering • “short” RF wavelength/long bunch, large exhaust dp/p (~10%) • get slope, curvature, and torsion right (quads, sextupoles, octupoles)

1. Cathode • Cesiated GaAs • Excellent performance for R&D system • When charge lifetime limited, get 500 C between cesiations (50k sec, ~14 hrs at 10 mA, many days at modest current), O(10 kC) on wafer • Typically replace because we destroy wafer in an arc event, can’t get QE • When (arc, emitter, vacuum,…) limited, ~few hours running • Not entirely adequate for prolonged user operations • Other cathodes? • Need proof of principle for required combination of beam quality, lifetime?

Injector Operational Challenges (V) (V w/ PM, MSE) (V w/ PM, BPM) (BPM) • At highest level… • System is moderately bright & operates at moderate power • Halo & tails are significant issue • Must produce very specific beam properties to match downstream acceptance; have very limited number of free parameters to do so • Issues: • Space charge & steering in front end • Deceleration by first cavity • Severe RF focusing (with coupling) • FPC/alignment steering – phasing a challenge • Miniphase • Halo/tails • Divots in cathode; scattered drive laser light; cathode relaxation; … Courtesy P. Evtushenko
3. Merger Issues (V) (V w/ PM, MSE) (V w/ PM, BPM) (BPM) Low charge (135 pC), low current (10 mA); beam quality preservation notionally not a problem; however… • Can have dramatic variation in transverse beam properties after cryounit • 4 quad telescope has extremely limited dynamic range • Must match into “long” linac with limited acceptance • Matched envelopes ~10 m, upright ellipse • Have to get fairly close (halo, scraping, BBU,…) • Beam quality is match sensitive (space charge) Have to iterate injector setup & match to linac until adequate performance achieved
4. Space Charge – Esp. LSC – Down Linac • Had a number of issues in linac during commissioning: • Why was the bunch “too long” at the wiggler? • bunch length at wiggler “too long” even when fully “optimized” (with good longitudinal emittance out of injector) • could only get 300-400 fsec rms, needed 200 fsec • Why did the “properly tuned lattice” not fully compress the bunch? • M55 measurement showed proper injector-to-wiggler transfer function, but beam didn’t “cooperate”… minimum bunch length at “wrong” compaction • Why was the beam momentum spread asymmetric around crest? • dp/p ahead of crest ~1.5 x smaller than after crest; average ~ PARMELA We blamed wakes, mis-phased cavities, fundamental design flaws, but in reality it was LSC… • PARMELA simulation (C. Hernandez-Garcia) showed LSC-driven growth in correlated & uncorrelated dp/p; magnitudes consistent with observation • Simulation showed uncorrelated momentum spread (which dictates compressed bunch length) tracks correlated (observable) momentum spread
Space-Charge Induced Degradation of Longitudinal Emittance • Mechanism: self-fields cause bunch to “spread out” • Head of bunch accelerated, tail of bunch decelerated, causing correlated energy slew • Ahead of crest (head at low energy, tail at high) observed momentum spread reduced • After crest (head at high energy, tail at low) observed energy spread increased • “Intrinsic” momentum spread similarly aggravated (driving longer bunch) • Simple estimates => imposed correlated momentum spread ~1/Lb2 and 1/rb2 • The latter observed – bunch length clearly match-dependent • The former quickly checked…
Solution • Additional PARMELA sims (C. Hernandez-Garcia) showed injected bunch length could be controlled by varying phase of the final injector cavity. • bunch length increased, uncorrelated momentum spread fell (but emittance increased) • reduced space charge driven effects – both correlated asymmetry across crest and uncorrelated induced momentum spread • When implemented in accelerator: • final momentum spread increased from ~1% (full, ahead of crest) to ~2%; • bunch length of ~800–900 fsec FWHM reduced to ~500 fsec FWHM (now typically 350 fsec) • bunch compressed when “decorrelated” injector-to-wiggler transfer function used (“beam matched to lattice”)
E E t t Key Points • “Lengthen thy bunch at injection, lest space charge rise up to smite thee” (Pv. 32:1, or Hernandez-Garcia et al., Proc. FEL ’04) • “best” injected emittance DOES NOT NECESSARILY produce best DELIVERED emittance! • LSC effects visible with streak camera
Streak Camera Data from IR Upgrade -4o -3o -2o -5o -1o -6o 0o (t,E) vs. linac phase after crest (data by S. Zhang, v.g. from C. Tennant)
Streak Camera Data from IR Upgrade +4o +3o +2o +5o +1o +6o 0o (t,E) vs. linac phase, before crest asymmetry between + and - show effect of longitudinal space charge after 10 MeV (data by S. Zhang, v.g. from C. Tennant)
±4 and ±6 degrees off crest • “+” on rising, “-” on falling part of waveform • Lbunch consistent with dp/p and M56 from linac to observation point • dp/p(-)>dp/p(+) • on “-” side there are electrons at energy higher than max out of linac • distribution evolves “hot spot” on “-” side (kinematic debunching, beam slides up toward crest…) => LSC a concern… -4o -6o +4o +6o
2. Injector Operational Challenges (V) (V w/ PM, MSE) (V w/ PM, BPM) (BPM) • At highest level… • System is moderately bright & operates at moderate power • Halo & tails are issue • Must produce very specific beam properties for rest of system, and have very limited number of free parameters to do so • Space charge: have to get adequate transmission through buncher • steering complicated by running drive laser off cathode axis (avoid ion back-bombardment) • solenoid must be reoptimized for each drive laser pulse length • Vacuum levels used as diagnostic
500 kV/2.5 MV 350 kV/2.5 MV 500 kV/1.5 MV 350 kV/1.5 MV Injector Operational Challenges (V) (V w/ PM, MSE) (V w/ PM, BPM) (BPM) • 1st cavity • decelerates beam to ~175 keV, aggravates space charge; • E(f) nearly constant for ±20o around crest (phase slip) • Normal & skew quad RF modes in couplers violate axial symmetry & add coupling • Dipole RF mode in FPC • Steer beam in “spectrometer”, make phasing difficult • Drive head-tail emittance dilution
Injector Operational Challenges (V) (V w/ PM, MSE) (V w/ PM, BPM) (BPM) • FPC/cavity misalignment steering ~ as big as dispersive changes in position • Phasing takes considerable care and some time • Have to back out steering using orbit measurement in linac • RF focusing very severe – can make beam large/strongly divergent/convergent at end of cryounit – constrains ranges of tolerable operating phases • Phasing • 4 knobs available: drive laser phase, buncher phase, 2 SRF cavity phases • Constrained by tolerable gradiants, limited number of observables (1 position at dispersed location), downstream acceptance • Typically spectrometer phase with care every few weeks; “miniphase” every few hours
“Miniphase” (V) (V w/ PM, MSE) (V w/ PM, BPM) (BPM) • System is underconstrained, difficult to spectrometer phase with adequate resolution • Phases drift out of tolerance over few hours • Recover setup by • Set drive laser phase to put buncher at “zero crossing” (therein lies numerous tales, … or sometimes tails...) • Set drive laser/buncher gang phase to phase of 1st SRF cavity by duplicating focusing (beam profile at 1st view downstream of cryounit) • Set phase of 2nd SRF cavity by recovering energy at spectrometer BPM this avoids necessity of fighting with 1st SRF cavity…
