Compact FEL source Big facilities of several kilometers. Less than 1 km, but still large. High-gradient accelerator requires a high rf frequency. How to compensate nonlinearity in bunch compression? • Downsizing needs • short-period undulators • low-emittance injector • high-gradient accelerator
Bunch compression 4-bend chicane bunch compressor Zero bunch length can be obtained in a linear transformation. • Nonlinearities in real sysmtem • limit the attainable peak current. • - sinusoidal rf curvature • high-order momentum • compaction factors of BCs • - space chage, wakefields, CSR···
Nonlinearity correction with a high-harmonic cavity Second-order nonlinearities of the rf field and the BC have the same sign. An additional device needed. The electron beam is decelerated in a correction cavity, so the frequency of the correction field should be higher than main acceleration field.

Nonlinearity correction for a compact FEL A compact FEL uses high-frequency rflinac, C-band or X-band. An extremely high-frequency correction cavity, X-band or K-band, encounters a technological difficulty. Use bunch compressor as a frequency up-converter. Bunch compression by CB
Nonlinearity correction for a compact FEL • A conventional correction scheme implicitly includes the effect of frequency up-conversion. • By directly using this effect, a correction cavity can be operated at the same frequency as the main linac. • Instead, a sub-harmonic accelerator is installed before the correction cavity. (d) A simple model composed of a single BC. Linearization of the energy chirp at the end of the main linac (d).
Analytical expressions up to second-order for linearization Initial energy chirp before the BC is a longitudinal electron position with respect to a reference particle in the bunch. Bunch compression in the BC This should be zero. Energy chirp after the main linac
Correction parameters L-band C-band Correction cavity phase -180 deg. R56 is varied to change CB. Constant for L-band compensation. C-band compensation decreases for a large CB.
Dynamical evolution of energy chirp (a) (b) (c) (d) For a multi-stage bunch compression system Space charge, CSR and wake fields also become nonlinear sources. If CSR in BC and wake fields of C-band are included, parameter optimization with a particle tracking is necessary. Correction cavity voltage and phase are 5 MV and -180 deg. CB is 6.3. Initial beam current 50 A (uniform). ELEGANT is used for a particle tracking. Correction cavity voltage 5 MV -> 4 MV. CB 6.3 -> 7.8.
Application to XFEL/SPring-8 Accelerator tunnel XFEL/SPring-8 building RF frequency is gradually increased according to the bunch length compression. Beam commissioning will be started in 2011. Klystron gallery
Nonlinearity correction in XFEL/SPring-8 Space charge, CSR and wakefields add additional nonlinearity. Initial emittance 0.6 pmm-mrad is not degraded in the acceleration and bunch compression to 8 GeV. PARMELA and ELEGANT are used for particle tracking.
Summary • A nonlinearity correction scheme directly using a frequency up-conversion due to bunch compression is shown. • Derived analytical expression and simulations confirm the validity of the correction scheme. • The correction scheme without a high-harmonic cavity is important for a compact FEL.
