Intensity-dependent Collective Effects • High brightness beams of today’s accelerators, synchrotron radiation sources, and free electron lasers are dominated by “collective” Coulomb-space charge as well as collisional effects, in addition to single particle classical and quantum optics. • Typical high-brightness electron beam in today’s applications: (x 10-5) (x 10-2) Correlated: CHALLENGE!! ACHIEVABLE (x 10-5) (can be focused to few nm at high energies such as at the ILC)
Ideal optics: dg = dv /M -1 Spherical aberrations: ds = 1/2Csa3 Chromatic aberrations: dc = Cc a DV / Vb Quantum mechanics: dd = 0.6 L / a Single Electron Quantum Diffraction Limit where Beam Diameter is the virtual source size dv and M -1 is the demagnification of the column where Cs is the spherical aberration coefficient of the final lens and a is the convergence half-angle of the beam at the target where Cc is the chromatic aberration coefficient, DV is the energy spread of the electrons, and Vb is the beam voltage electron wavelength L = 1.2/(Vb)1/2 nm, although much smaller than the wavelength of light (0.008 nm at 25 kV), this wavelength can still limit the beam diameter by classical diffraction effects in very high resolution systems • To determine the theoretical beam size of a system, the contributions from various sources can be added in quadrature: • d = (dg2 + ds2 + dc2 + dd2)1/2

A plot showing resolution as a function of beam convergence angle for an electron beam column at 30 kV. The plot assumes an energy spread of 1.5 eV, a source diameter of 20 nm, and a fixed demagnification of 5.

Henri Poincaré Geometry and Topology of Phase Space, 1880’s, France Dynamical Phase-Space of a Particle Poincaré looked at Phase-Space as full of geometrical and topological structures
Joseph Liouville Phase Space Conservation, 1837 and Non-conservation, 1838, France, with Dissipative Forces Flow in Phase Space Hamiltonian Mapping Generating Incompressible Liouvillian Flow in Phase-Space To Liouville, it was all a SMOOTH FLOW, nothing violent happening anywhere except for gentle deformations: in fact, phase space volume (measure) is conserved for non-dissipative systems.
Simon van der Meer Stochastic Cooling, 1968, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland: introduced ‘virtual’ dissipation via a Maxwell’s Demon! Charged Particle Beam Cooling Gersh I. Budker Electron Cooling, 1978 Novosibirsk, Russia: introduced dissipation through Collisional Relaxation
Stochastic Cooling To van der Meer, phase space is mostly empty and where particles live, they cluster together leaving space in between Possibility of employing a MAXWELL’S DEMON to herd them into a tight bunch, if only one could see the phase space clutter!

1 1 t t 1 [Ns + Nn] What is Nn ? where Nn sample population that can generate a noise signal equivalent to the optical amplifier noise Fundamental Issues 1 control time of damping or cooling We expect: ~ [Ns] But, in practice, there is always amplifier noise which modifies cooling rate to : ~
Each particle emits ‘a’ photons per turn, where a fine structure constant ~ 1/137 Fundamental Issues Total no. of equivalent noise photons is ~ a Nn
a Nn ~ 1 > Nn = 1/a 1 1 ~ [Ns + (1/a)] t Fundamental Issues Theoretical minimum of optical amplifier noise is one noise photon per optical mode :
Fundamental Issues For large sample population, Ns ~ 107 - 109, the number of equivalent photons from sample and amplifier : Np = a Ns + aNn ~ (105 -107) + 1 >> 1. This large no. of photons generate an electric field in the far-field regime that is describable as classical light Large “degeneracy parameter”: large number of photons in a coherence volume
Fundamental Issues For small sample population, Ns ~ 50 - 100, the number of equivalent photons from sample and amplifier : Np ~ (0.5 -1) + 1 ~ O (1). These few photons generate a field that is intrinsically non -classical and quantum mechanical. Small “degeneracy parameter”: small number of photons in a coherence volume How does optical control work in this quantum limit ?? Understanding quantum optics of radiation from accelerated ultrashort bursts of electrons lasting femtoseconds to attoseconds will be critical to taming particle beams to an “ordered” and “coherent” state comparable to a laser.
