This paper discusses the use of beam shaping techniques to enhance the transformer ratio in beam-driven acceleration. Various shaping profiles are explored, including quadratic takeoff with linear ramp and beam shaping via photoemission. Experimental realization and applicability to FACET-II accelerator are also discussed.

Introduction & Motivation • Possible multiple-user FEL facility based on wakefield acceleration • Important parameters for this type of beam-driven acceleration is the transformer ratio [Zholents, FEL14 (2014)] e-bunch P. Piot, FACET-II workshop, SLAC 10/12/2015
Transformer-ratio-enhancing shapes • Various current profiles have been proposed over the years [Bane et al., SLAC-PUB 3662 (1985)], • Profiles often challenging to realize in practice • We seek shapes of the form • The wake voltage iswhere and tail wavelengthof mode Green’s function of the e.m. mode excited P.

Applicability to FACET-II • proposed injector + sub-GeVlinac has all necessary ingredients for versatile shaping: • photocathode RF gun (w. Ti:Sp laser), • R56 sections, high-harmonic (X-band) • necessary diagnostics [deflecting structure(s)] P. Piot, FACET-II workshop, SLAC 10/12/2015
Summary + outlook • Practical shapes capable of enhancing transformer ratio have recently been proposed • can be produced by conventional photocathode laser shaping, • can also be produced passively (combining wakefield with R56) [Lemery, AAC14 (2014)] • can also be formed by employing a multi-frequency linac[Piot, PRL 108 (2012)] P. Piot, FACET-II workshop, SLAC 10/12/2015
Open questions from FACET-II CDR Fig. 3.1 • For improved efficiency need to understand how to modify these shapes to achieve high-transformer ratio in presence of heavy beam loading, • Witness-bunch formation is not addressed yet and setup-specific (here shown for FLASH).
