  18. Discovery Class Science: Particle Physics Leinweber, Signal et al. E=mc2 All the weight of the proton is in the energetic dynamics of the force in full color: Quantum Chromo Dynamics

  19. Discovery Class Science: Bio-Chemistry

  20. On-going Key Developments at the Frontier of Innovations leading to 21st Century Discoveries • Electron, proton and ion beams of unprecedented precision, polarization, intensity and luminosity control • Superconducting Radio-frequency Science and Technology • Normal and superconducting materials operating at the fundamental natural limit • Table-top Laser-plasma Acceleration of Electrons to 1 GeV • 99.9 % Energy Recovery between Microwaves and Particles • Demonstration of Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission for X-ray FELS • Femto- and Atto-second bursts of electrons and light

  21. INNOVATION Can we do better? • Can we tame particles as well as we tame light in lasers so we can map the phase-space of a particle beam within a light beam? • What is the Reward? • A compact Coherent X-ray Source • Compact Laser-Plasma Injectors for High Luminosity Colliders

  22. lw ~ lx (1 + a2) = ~ 2 4g2 π g 2 1+ b / x Compact Coherent SASE X-Ray FEL using a Laser Wiggler FEL x-ray wavelength Inverse gain length a2 1 1 I 1+a2 Ng IA Electron beam parameters Transverse coherence requirement Ne= 106 , ce = 10-8 m, b / x < 10 nb = 10-8 mrad (≡ 30 attoseconds) SASE Ex=10 keV SASE Ex=1 keV Examples Ti laser (w= 0.8 m) g = 13 (6.5 MeV) Ew=30 mJ NX= 2x108 THz source (w=100 m) g = 500 (250 MeV) Ew=20 J NX= 6x108 Possible in 4GLS!! Possible on Table-top

  23. 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)

  24. 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

  25. Pure Single Particle Optics: Classical and Quantum But not if the electron radiates!!! Could reach Quantum Diffraction Limit . . . 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.

  26. COHERENCE VOLUME: г = ΔaR ·ΔθR ~ λ/2 Phase Space of a single oscillating electron is already comparable to the phase space of radiation External Radiation pulse of length L, wavelength λo Radiated wavelength: λ~ λo/2γ2 ≡ Effective Diffraction or Raleigh Length of Scattered Light

  28. PHASE-SPACE COOLING:Particles and Photons

  29. 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

  30. 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.

  31. 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

  32. 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! Phase-Space Cooling in Any One Dimension

  33. Degree of Control in Phase Space Number of Independent Phase Space Samples Probed N 1 µ µ Control Rate t Ns Control Time µ Ns No. of Particles in a Sample Microwave Light Emittance l/2 Interplay of Particle Beam and Light Beam Coherence Volumes Molecular or Atomic Beam Laser Light Particle Beam Plasma or or X Beam Emittance e^ X Coherence Volume of Light << Beam Emittance

  34. 2.925 microns, 0.6 micron detuning width 4.5 W average power TM01 or higher mode Example: Second Harmonic Lasing at JLab FEL resolves transverse beam at “micron” resolution

  35. 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 : ~

  36. 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

  37. 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 :

  38. 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

  39. 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.
