This experiment investigates the spatially coherent Coulomb interaction micro-dynamics in charged particle beams and its effect on shot-noise suppression at optical frequencies. The experiment utilizes a beam with cold, non-equilibrium plasma characteristics and explores the conditions for achieving shot-noise suppression. The results show a relative noise suppression of 40% with an uncorrelated electron beam. Further experiments are planned to calibrate the measurement of noise and increase the suppression factor by incorporating a short dispersive section. The experimental setup includes an optical transition radiation (OTR) screen, CCD camera, and various screens for beam profiling.

In reality the beam profile was far from being uniform. The experiment was conducted with strong convergence in order to pass through the long straight pipe of the chicane. The beam envelope was calculated with GPT (including space-charge) based on beam spot measurements on screens YAG1, YAG2, and quadrupole current data, confirmed in YAG 3, YAG 4. In this situation of strong convergence angle and emittance, the suppression takes place primarily in the waist, and is deteriorated by axial velocity spread.
MODEL COMPUTATION OF NOISE SUPPRESSION WITH VARYING BEAM CROSS-SECTION AND BEAM ANGULAR SPREAD MAATCHING THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
Next Experimental Stage • Complement the successful free-drift noise-suppression experiment: calibrate the OTR measurement of noise, attain increased suppression factor. • Use a short dispersive section (Chicane) based on high-power trimmers. • Vary R56 using Chicane, and measure OTR in a single location after the Chicane.
