  3. WiFEL is a planned user facility with 3 FELs driven by a 1.7 GeV e-beam and 3 FELs at 2.2 GeV. • A superconducting photoinjector and linac provide 200-pC parabolic bunches with peak current of 50 A. • Magnetic bunch compression in-creases the current to 1 kA for the FELs. • Collective effects in the driver must be considered.

  4. Scientific Demand for a VUV/Soft Xray FEL • Diffraction, VUV/X-ray light; e.g., for coherent imaging at nanometer-scale • Highest energy-resolution beamlines • Tool for advanced nanotechnology patterning • Subpicosecond pulses for pump-probe experiments; e.g., for femtochemistry • High flux for resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (photon in, photon out) • Coherent synchrotron radiation in the infrared from bunches as a whole

  10. Magnetic Bunch Compression: Injectors Make 10’s Amps but FEL Need Kiloamps

  11. Initial design: 2-stage bunch compressor with chicanes at 215 MeV and 485 MeV. Factor-of-twenty compression gives 1 kA output current. 251.3 MeV 215 MeV Injector 3 Modules L1 2 Modules L2 15 Modules 485 MeV 4 MeV 1.7 GeV Gun BC1 R56 = -87 mm BC2 R56 = -18 mm f= -17.8° f = 9° f= 50.6° 3.9 GHz Cavities (10) 36.3 MV, 180° BC1 compresses by a factor of 8, while BC2 compresses by a factor of 2.5

  12. Lattice functions plotted from 4 MeV to 1.7 GeV

  13. Compression of a parabolic bunch without collective effects. 100,000 particles are tracked by ELEGANT. 4 MeV BC1 entrance BC1 exit BC2 entrance BC2 exit 1.7 GeV Tail 

  14. Longitudinal wakefields affect the compression. • The ELEGANT code simulates the effects. • An approximate analytic model provides fast 1. Estimate of the minimum initial bunch length that can be compressed without an upright tail. 2. Trial-and-error compensation of wakes by adjusting rf parameters. 3. Jitter estimates. 4. Microbunching gain.

  15. Analytic model • The bunch is frozen outside of the chicanes. • Longitudinal impedances act upon frozen bunches. • Longitudinal impedances within the chicanes are represented by effective impedances. Emittance effects are included in the effective impedances.

  16. Longitudinal Impedance Formulas Longitudinal space charge (LSC) Linac geometric impedance Steady-state coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in magnets Coherent edge radiation (CER) downstream of magnets

  17. Effective impedances from beginning of bunch compressor BC1 before BC1 between BC1 and BC2 after BC2, up to 1.7 GeV initial wavelength of modulation

  18. Tracking simulations show that macroscopic wake effects upon the 1.7-GeV bunch are approximated by resistive impedances. LiTrack with resistors ELEGANT with coherent radiation Trapezoidal bunch Gaussian bunch Parabolic bunch

  19. Upright bunch tails in phase space at 1.7 GeV are predicted by formulas for resistive impedances. LiTrack with resistors ELEGANT with coherent radiation Trapezoidal bunch Gaussian bunch Parabolic bunch

  20. Fast 1-D compressor adjustment for design optimization with CSR/CER and wakes of the injector, harmonic cavities, and linacs for 200-pC parabolic bunches LiTrack with coherent radiation approximated by resistors (fast) ELEGANT simulation (slow)

  21. ELEGANT simulation of the adjusted compression. 4 MeV BC1 entrance BC1 exit BC2 entrance BC2 exit 1.7 GeV

  22. Microbunching • Input current and energy modulations at the entrance of BC1 cause output modulations at 1.7 GeV. • Formulas for the growth of modulations are obtained. • ELEGANT tracking of 4 million particles agrees with the formulas. • Evaluation of the formulas is much faster than tracking simulations.

  23. Analytic modeling (curves) and ELEGANT simulations (dots) predict microbunching gain for a trapezoidal bunch. Trapezoidal bunch with 3-keV Gaussian energy distribution and 1-micron normalized emittance Trapezoidal bunch with 10-keV laser-heater energy distribution and 1-micron normalized emittance

  27. The effect of the beam spreader upon microbunching gain for a 3-keV Gaussian energy distribution. Solid lines and dots are analytic and simulated gain from the chicane entrance through the beam spreader; dashed lines and open dots are gain without a beam spreader. (a) Original spreader design with R56 = 950 microns. (b) Revised spreader design with R56 = 38.5 microns.

  28. Single-stage factor-of-twenty bunch compressor, with rf parameters optimized for 200-pC parabolic bunches. In comparison with 2-stage compression, the required harmonic-cavity voltage is much larger, and the dechirping phase in the final linac is larger.

  30. The effect of the beam spreader upon microbunching gain for a 3-keV Gaussian energy distribution. Solid lines and dots are analytic and simulated gain from the chicane entrance through the beam spreader; dashed lines and open dots are gain without a beam spreader. (a) Original spreader design with R56 = 950 microns. (b) Revised spreader design with R56 = 38.5 microns.

  31. The microbunching gain is more than an order of magnitude lower with single-stage compression than with two-stage compression. With a low-R56 spreader, the microbunching is not increased. Single-stage compression with a low-R56 spreader provides the best FEL performance since a colder bunch can be compressed. Laser-heating may not be required.

  32. Current and energy modulations at the FEL from shot noise, according to an analytical calculation that assumes linear gain for an initially parabolic bunch with 3-keV Gaussian energy spread. (a) Two-stage bunch compressor. (b) One-stage bunch compressor. The one-stage compressor with low-R56 spreader satisfies the FEL requirements that modulations with wavelengths shorter than the bunch should be smaller than 10% for current and 3x10-4 for energy modulations.

  33. The lower microbunching gain with single stage compression and a low-R56 spreader is confirmed by the following simulations that approximate the amplified shot noise for an initial energy spread of 3 keV.

  34. Amplified shot noise for two-stage compression followed by a beam spreader with R56 = 950 microns.

  35. Amplified shot noise for two-stage compression followed by a beam spreader with R56 = 40 microns.

  36. Amplified shot noise for single-stage compression followed by a beam spreader with R56 = 950 microns.

  37. Amplified shot noise for single-stage compression followed by a beam spreader with R56 = 40 microns.

  38. A beneficial application of collective effects: In the WiFEL single-stage compressor, the compressed bunch is accelerated 40 degrees off-crest to remove its energy chirp. Since this requires 30% more RF accelerating voltage than on-crest acceleration, an alternative method of removing the bunch’s energy chirp may be cost-effective. The wake of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is one alternative method for removing the bunch chirp.

  39. An analytic model predicts that a short bending magnet reduces the chirp of a rectangular bunch (in V/s) by –NqZ0/πtb2, where N is the bunch population, q is the electron charge, Z0 is the impedance of free space, and tb is the bunch length in seconds. The magnets should be separated by a distance exceeding ctb/(1-cosӨ), where c is the speed of light and Ө is the angle of deflection in a bending magnet. About 15 bending magnets are predicted to give a dechirped WiFEL bunch with on-crest acceleration of the compressed bunch.

  40. Removing the chirp of a bunch with the wake of CSR. This chicane dechirper cell contains 8 short bending magnets.

  41. Longitudinal phase space at the exit of the beam spreader for on-crest • acceleration after single-stage compression. (a) No dechirping cells. • Two dechirping cells (16 bending magnets) at beam energy of 400 MeV. • (c) Two dechirping cells at 1.7 GeV.

  42. Simulations of shot noise show increased microbunching from the dechirping chicanes’ R56 = -1 mm, for a bunch that is not heated by a laser heater. The FEL requirements are marginally satisfied without a laser heater, with initial energy spread of 3 keV. Dechirping by off-crest acceleration, no dechirping chicanes Dechirping by 4 dechirping chicanes at beam energy of 400 MeV Dechirping by 4 dechirping chicanes at beam energy of 1700 MeV

  43. Removing the chirp of a bunch with the wake of CSR. This isochronous arc dechirper contains 3 bending magnets.

  44. Longitudinal phase space at the exit of the beam spreader for on-crest • acceleration after single-stage compression. • No dechirping arcs. (b) Four dechirping arcs (12 bending magnets) • at beam energy of 400 MeV. (c) Four dechirping arcs at 1.7 GeV.

  45. Simulations of shot noise show little increase in microbunching from the isochronous dechirping arcs, for a bunch that is not heated by a laser heater. The FEL requirements are satisfied without a laser heater. Dechirping by off-crest acceleration, no dechirping arcs Dechirping by 4 isochronous arcs at beam energy of 400 MeV Dechirping by 4 isochronous arcs at beam energy of 1700 MeV

  46. CSR is also important in a recirculating-linac FEL driver. Lattice functions for a 1.7-GeV design with two 3-magnet isochronous arcs on each end, followed by a chicane for bunch compression.

  47. Parameters for good compression with CSR effects have been found by trial-and-error tracking with the ELEGANT code. Here, a 200-pC bunch with initial length of 450 um compresses well with a linac phase of 17.2 degrees.
