Les Sources d’Électrons de Forte Intensité et de Faible Emittance T. Garvey, Laboratoire de l’Accélérateur Linéaire – Orsay. Journées Accélérateurs de la SFP – Roscoff, 10 octobre, 2005.
Motivation for new high brightness injectors – new synchrotron radiation sources • SASE Free Electron Lasers at VUV and X-ray wavelengths • High peak brightness • Energy Recovery Linacs • High average brightness synchrotron radiation source. Not an exhaustive review of all existing or planned projects! Will evoke major issues in the design of injectors for FEL and ERL Projects.
Single-pass Free Electron Lasers Gain Length: Beam size: r small high electron density for maximuminteraction with radiation field Emittance ≤ Energy: Peak current inside bunch: Î > 1 kA feasible only at ultrarelativistic energies, or may dilute emittance bunch compressor Energy width: Narrow resonance E/E ≤ r
SASE FEL Projects • TTF VUV-FEL (6 – 30 nm) • European X-FEL (0.1 – 6 nm) • SPARC (500 nm) • LCLS (~ 0.15 nm) • SCSS (~ 3.6 nm) • BESSY (50 – 1 nm) • DUV-FEL…….
Gun types Also – Field emission guns for intense e-beams.
Advantages of laser triggered RF Gun RF gun – electrons are “born” in high field (~ 100 MV/m) region (c.f. DC guns ~ few MV/m) ⇒quickly accelerated to high energy ⇒ reduces detrimental effect of space-charge forces on the beam emittance. Laser-driven ⇒ allows generation of beams with same temporal structure as laser ⇒ rapid ( ~ pico-seconds, c.f. gridded DC guns ~ 1ns). CTF-3 gun under designed at LAL/Orsay
RF Photo-injectors use many technologies • Photo-cathodes • Quantum efficiency, thermal emittance, dark current, aging…… • Cathode lasers • Long pulse train, intensity stability, synchronisation, temporal and spatial homogeneity….. • Gun cavity • Geometric form, symmetric coupling, surface fields…. • Analytic theory and numerical simulations • Longitudinal bunching, transverse emittance compensation, wake-fields…. • Diagnostics • Ultra-short pulses, low emittances, E.O. techniques, RF deflectors……
Gun geometry design Waveguide coupler in exit cell – Coupling from both sides – reduces dipole “kick” Form of irises – reduce peak surface field for given accelerating field
Bunch compression Need high peak currents (~ 1 - 2 kA) for SASE FEL. RF gun limited to < 100 A (1nC, 4 ps for TTF) to mitigate space charge effects ⇨ need to perform longitudinal compression. • Magnetic compression not necessarily part of the injector • Ballistic compression → “classical” injector approach • “Velocity” (or RF) bunching → incorporates bunching into the injector.
Powerful radiation generates energy spread in bends • Causes bend-plane emittance growth (DESY experience) bend-plane emittance growth coherent radiation for > z z E/E = 0 L0 s R x e– E/E < 0 x = R16(s)E/E overtaking length: L0 (24zR2)1/3 Magnetic Chicane Compresser
Ballistic bunching • Usually at low energy, typical in injectors with DC guns. • Buncher cavity imparts energy chirp to give compression in downstream drift space.
Velocity Bunching For non-rigid bunch, relative movements take place within bunch to reduce phase spread. Observed on DUV-FEL linac (BNL) Technique considered for CTF probe beam linac
Emittance Compensation: Controlled Damping of Plasma Oscillation Space-charge effects and non-linear RF fields play a role in the evolution of the RMS emittance. Must determine at what point to accelerate and ‘freeze’ the emittance oscillations. L. Serafini and J.B. Rosenzweig, Phy Rev. E, Vol. 55, 1997. Space charge effects can dominate to high energies for these intense beams and low emittances. “Injector” can be > 100 MeV 100 A => 150 MeV

•ERL – combines LOW transverse emittance beam properties with HIGHaverage (high duty cycle / CW) current. •Beam properties at high energy are determined by injector quality and not by dynamic equilibrium properties of a Storage Ring Energy Recovery Linac Injectors High brightness light source
High Current ERL Injector Requirements • Output energy ~ 7 – 10 MeV • CW average current ~ 100 – 500 mA • Transverse emittance < 6 mm-mrad • Longitudinal emittance ~ 150 keV – ps (rms) • Bunch length ~ 2 – 7 ps • Energy spread < 0.5 % @ 7 MeV • High Power RF feed-through possibilities.
JLab High Brightness Gun Extremely reliable Delivered 5.5 kiloCoulombs from one cathode Same cathode for 2 years Modest improvements for 10 kW Upgrade
Jefferson Lab Gun Approach • Highest average brightness is produced by lowest charges at highest frequency (J.B. Rosenzweig PAC95 pp. 957-960) • However FEL needs high peak current, contrary to this scaling • Compromise: highest frequency for which charge (when later bunched to high peak current) has sufficient small signal gain and linac is stable to BBU, etc. • Highest brightness is achieved by high gun gradient and fast acceleration • IR Demo operated 3.8 to 4.2 MV/m limited by cesium on gun ball • Upgrade should achieve >6 MV/m with cesium only on GaAs • Get to >10 MeV as quickly as possible using srf high gradient cavities • Long cathode lifetimes (measure in coulombs/cm2 not time!) • 5,500 Coulombs from one cathode demonstrated (3 mm spot radius) • Limited by ion back bombardment from background gas • Vacuum pumping in DC gun 100 times rate in rf gun
JLab 10 kW Upgrade IR FEL Injector demonstrated performance The injector is driven by a 350 kV DC GaAs Photocathode Gun • Pulsed operation at 8 mA/pulse (110 pC/bunch) in 16 ms-long pulses at 2 Hz repetition rate • CW operation at 9.1 mA (75 MHz) with 122 pC/bunch • Routinely delivers 5 mA CW and pulse current at 135 pC/bunch for FEL operations • 400 A peak current at wiggler Beam

Conclusions • Recent years (~ 10) have seen impressive progress in the development of photo-injectors for short wave-length SASE FEL’s. • Many subjects need to be developed further – cathode life-time, dark current levels, shaping of laser pulse (temporally and spatially), gun cavity technology for high duty cycle, longitudinal beam compression techniques which leave transverse emittance un-disturbed. • Increasingly sophisticated BD simulations are guiding injector design for low emittance. • DC guns, originally investigated for nuclear physics, are being up-graded for ERL requirements. • marriage of DC gun and SC RF technolgy • The development of superconducting RF technology has had a major influence on the design of new synchrotron light sources.
