Will Size Define a New Generation of Light Sources? David E. Moncton Future Light Sources Conference JLab March 5, 2012
The most substantial societal impact of x-rays has come from small scale sources—x-ray tubes (14 Nobel prizes) Synchrotron radiation has made enormous impact in two ways Science accomplished (4 Nobel prizes) Development of extremely powerful methods based on high brilliance made possible by incoherent emission from relativistic beams X-ray free-electron lasers will also have enormous impact Access the fs timescale for the first time with significant flux Enable the development of methods exploiting the high peak brilliance made possible by coherent electron emission from relativistic beams Future machine beyond the ultimate single-mode FELs will combine the features of these three generations of sources Small scale, relativistic e-beams, and coherent emission.

New Facilities Based on SASE Radiation SLAC Stanford
A Tutorial on Peak Brilliance • New scientific frontiers require access to the spatial and temporal regimes where new properties emerge that are out of reach with 3rd gen sources • This challenge requires the highest collimation, the smallest beam size, the shortest pulses and the best energy resolution—often simultaneously Peak Brilliance = # photons/Dx Dqx Dy Dqy Dt DE • The denominator is the phase space volume of the source which can be as small as the uncertainty principle allows—one photon mode • Therefore peak brilliance is a direct measure of the # photons in the most highly occupied mode—aka photon degeneracy • To convert from peak brilliance to photon degeneracy divide by 2.3 x 1021/ l3 (nm)
Peak Brilliance Example—The Advanced Photon Source with peak brilliance about 1023 at l = 0.1 nm 1023 = 0.04 Degeneracy = 2.3 x 1021/ l3 (nm) In other words the most highly occupied mode has, on average, a 4 percent chance of having one photon in it.
Peak Brilliance Example—The LCLS with peak brilliance about 1034 at l = 0.1 nm 2 x 1033 ~109 Degeneracy = 2.3 x 1021/ l3 (nm) What is the difference between sources with degeneracy of 109 and those sources with degeneracy from .01—100? It is the fundamentally different process producing the radiation– coherent vs incoherent emission, laser vs. light bulb Ring sources produce photons one electron at a time, proportional to the number N of electrons Lasing is a coherent electron process proportional to N2
Two Key Questions Are SASE sources the ultimate in x-ray technology? While SASE sources benefit from exponential gain, the resulting beam has poor quality compared to a single mode optical laser. No Are billion dollar central facilities the only option? Advances in accelerator, laser, and nano technology offer opportunities to build high performance x-ray sources of the scale of a university laboratory No

X-ray Science Driven by Beam Brilliance X-ray Lasers Coherent Emission Synchrotron Radiation Relativity X-ray Tubes
There is a growing and urgent need to fill the large gap between laboratory x-ray tubes, and large central facilities. • At nano-centers such as EMSL that are not at synchrotron sources, advanced x-ray capability is the most important missing probe of matter. • Advances in accelerator and laser technology make high-brilliance, short pulses sources possible and affordable. Compact X-ray Sources ?
The Technical Opportunity Inverse Compton Scattering • Head-on collision between a relativistic electron and a photon e- lL energy = Ee= gme q lX • Normal Compton Scattering the photon has higher energy than the electron • The inverse process has the Thomson cross-section when Ee e X • The scattered photon satisfies the undulator equation with period lL/2 for head-on collisions (1+g2q2) lX = lL 4g2 • Therefore, the x-ray energy decreases by a factor of 2 at an angle of 1/g

X-ray Science Driven by Beam Brilliance X-ray Lasers Coherent Emission Coherent ICS Synchrotron Radiation Incoherent ICS Relativity X-ray Tubes
How can coherent emission be achieved to boost ICS performance? Coherent ICS Answer: Maybe—by structuring the electron beam, not by laser seeding, but by using a structured nanocathode as a electron source, after T. Akinwande, MIT.
Coherent ICS It appears possible to manipulate these structured bunches in magnet arrays to compress, rotate, and exchange transverse and longitudinal coordinates, resulting in a sub nm periodic structure which will then coherently emit a hard x-ray beam. See talk by Bill Graves on Wednesday

Medical Imaging—Improved Absorption Images Current radiographs use 5-75 keV Bremstahlung spectrum Low energy range causes skin dose, no contrast High portion cause tissue dose with low contrast Only the range of energies around 30 keV useful ICS spectrum is ideal at 30 keV with 5-15% bandwidth Image quality improved and dose reduced We would establish collaboration with local radiologists to further study these factors in detail Medical Imaging/Therapy—Tuning to specific wavelengths Iodine contrast agent for blood imaging Gd or Pt based cancer therapy Medical Applications
Medical Imaging—Phase Contrast Method Few micron circular source is ideal Many milli-radian divergence illuminates large objects in short distance Few percent bandwidth can be fully utilized and presents no limitation Would improve medical imaging for soft tissue while reducing dose Could also utilize the single-shot mode for time-resolved images Simplest approach requires no optics But optics could reduce spot size, increase coherence, and increase illuminated area Medical Applications
Pico-second Science Synchrotron sources have 50-100 ps pulse lengths ICS source may have pulse lengths down to 100 fs At 1 ps the single-shot flux could be >109 photons in a 6% bandwidth Large bandwidths are appropriate for Laue method as pioneered by Wulff and co-workers at ESRF ICS could be run in a kHz mode for repetitive experiments Both diffraction and PC imaging modes possible Flux exceeds plasma sources by many orders of magnitude Flux exceeds storage ring pulse chopping schemes Would be a stepping stone to the big FELs Ultrafast Science Opportunities

Within a decade FEL facilities will achieve single mode laser radiation in the hard x-ray regime with milli-Joule power levels. Within two decades superconducting linac-based facilities will have many such beamlines operating across a wide spectral range. There is no obvious “next generation” large facility. But…. Within a decade compact sources less than $10M will offer NSLS I level (2nd generation) x-ray properties. Within two decades compact sources will demonstrate coherent emission revolutionizing laboratory-scale capability. Large facilities always be the most powerful sources simply due to the physics of electromagnetic radiation from energetic charged particles. But the most creative science will most likely come from the laboratory sources, just as with laser sources today, and x-ray sources of the early 20th century. Conclusions (Predictions)
