phil Oxford , june 18 Photoinjector at
Brief LAL History • 1955 : fisrt linac at ORSAY • 1960 to 1980 : collaborations CERN, Italy, 1967 synchrotron radiation (ACO) 1977 DCI e+/e- collsions • 1985 : LAL split in LAL & LURE • 1988 : super ACO (synchrotron radiation) • 2000 : LURE became synchrotron radiation SOLEIL • 2001 : ELYSE (pulsed radiolysis facility) • 2003 : linac of super ACO shut down (dismantlement) • 2005 : PHIL (CARE Project) R&D and building activities Collaborations CERN (CTF), TTF, SLAC (FFTB) A new accelerator at LAL (photoinjector - 9 MeV)
PHIL brief history • 2005 : LAL in CARE project : RF gun for CERN & LAL • 2006 : LASER for PHIL (HQ Laser) • 2007 : start of installation in old LINAC building (building modifications, bunker build up,…) • 2008 : ASN deadline for PHIL PHIL start ok • 2009 : fisrt beam ?
PHIL Goals • Developpement of electrons sources & associated technologies • Provide electron beam for different users • Formation (students, thesis,…) • Maintain & improve know-how@LAL for future accelarator projects • New accelerator in LAL/Orsay
Possible applications TEST BENCH FOR: • RF technology and high brillance guns design • New Cathodes • High gradient structures • Low energy diagnostics • Simulations code • Laser pulse shaping • … USERS • Detector calibration (charge ,energy) • Chemistry reactions • Plasma acceleration with external injection • …
Photoinjector principle F = q Ef RF (EM wave) Acceleration of charged particle Laser beam Electron beam Ef Copper pillbox cavity Temporal structure are identical Standing wave with on axis Electric field short duration electron bunch (ps or below) Electron production with photoemission (cathode inside cavity) Ef ~ 80 MV/m leads to E ~ 4 MeV in 10 cm (3GHz)
Photoinjector parts • Photon source : laser Nd:YLF • Electron source : RF gun + photocathode • RF source : electric field for acceleration • Transport line : beam properties caracterization (size, duration, charge,…) 5. Status & Planning
