Electron Beam Parameters 1 sec Typically 10 bunches/RF pulse(81.25 MHz) 1 Hz repetition rate Laser energy 16 mJ/pulse @ 263nm <5nC/bunch (have had >12 nC in the past) 4 MeV gun output energy 16 MeV total energy Dp/p ≈ 0.3%@ 16MeV (1nC) Bunch length ≈ 2 mm (1nC) gez ≈ 120 mm-mrad (RMS @ 1nC) gex,gey≈4 mm-mrad (RMS @ 1nC)
What is Jitter? Ideal Situation 81.25 MHz or 1/81.25 µs All electron bunches travels at a uniform interval
What is Jitter? Real Situation 81.25 MHz or 1/81.25 µs The interval is somewhat irregular This irregularity is called Jitter – in time domain or Phase Noise – in frequency domain
Why Measuring the Jitter? The stability of experiments carried out with A0 photoinjector depends sensitively on precise synchronization between the electron beam and other components in A0 photoinjector. Jitter measurement is the first step to build a precise arrival-time monitor of electron bunches.

Time-of-Arrival to Modulation Voltage Change in bunch time-of-arrival have difference voltages when laser pulse arrives time mapped into laser modulation. Compact ultra-high precision beam phase monitor system, Florian Löhl, FLS 2006, May 16th, 2006
Amplitude Change along with the Delay Time At 3.57ns, sigma of amplitude fluctuation = 51.8mV - Corresponding jitter = 2.924ps The precision of our setup is not good enough – we want sub 1 ps Slope : -17.715mV/ps
What is Emittance? ɛ = Area in x, x’ plane occupied by beam particles divided by π
Emittance Along a beamline, the shape of beam ellipse in x, x’ plane changes, But the area πɛ remainsconstant
Why measuring it? • We can know beam half width, beam half divergence, and whether beam is converging or diverging. • Emittance is one of key parameters for overall performance of an accelerator • Luminosity of colliders for particle physics • Brightness of synchrotron radiation sources • Wavelength range of free electron lasers • Resolution of fixed target experiments
Conclusion • Jitter measurement • First step to build a precise arrival-time monitor of electron bunches. • Principle and setup of measurement are explained. • Right now ~2ps precision • Emittance Calculation • One of the important beam parameters • Multi-slit method • Semi-automatic program
