Why a long bunch at injection? • Space Charge… Longitudinal Space Charge…
Space Charge – Esp. LSC – Down Linac • Had a number of issues in linac during commissioning: • Why was the bunch “too long” at the wiggler? • bunch length at wiggler “too long” even when fully “optimized” (with good longitudinal emittance out of injector) • could only get 300-400 fsec rms, needed 200 fsec • Why did the “properly tuned lattice” not fully compress the bunch? • M55 measurement showed proper injector-to-wiggler transfer function, but beam didn’t “cooperate”… minimum bunch length at “wrong” compaction • Why was the beam momentum spread asymmetric around crest? • dp/p ahead of crest ~1.5 x smaller than after crest; average ~ PARMELA We blamed wakes, mis-phased cavities, fundamental design flaws, but in reality it was LSC… • PARMELA simulation (C. Hernandez-Garcia) showed LSC-driven growth in correlated & uncorrelated dp/p; magnitudes consistent with observation • Simulation showed uncorrelated momentum spread (which dictates compressed bunch length) tracks correlated (observable) momentum spread
Space-Charge Induced Degradation of Longitudinal Emittance • Mechanism: self-fields cause bunch to “spread out” • Head of bunch accelerated, tail of bunch decelerated, causing correlated energy slew • Ahead of crest (head at low energy, tail at high) observed momentum spread reduced • After crest (head at high energy, tail at low) observed energy spread increased • “Intrinsic” momentum spread similarly aggravated (driving longer bunch) • Simple estimates => imposed correlated momentum spread ~1/Lb2 and 1/rb2 • The latter observed – bunch length clearly match-dependent • The former quickly checked…
Solution • Additional PARMELA sims (C. Hernandez-Garcia) showed injected bunch length could be controlled by varying phase of the final injector cavity. • bunch length increased, uncorrelated momentum spread fell (but emittance increased) • reduced space charge driven effects – both correlated asymmetry across crest and uncorrelated induced momentum spread • When implemented in accelerator: • final momentum spread increased from ~1% (full, ahead of crest) to ~2%; • bunch length of ~800–900 fsec FWHM reduced to ~500 fsec FWHM (now typically 350 fsec) • bunch compressed when “decorrelated” injector-to-wiggler transfer function used (“beam matched to lattice”)
E E t t Key Points • “Lengthen thy bunch at injection, lest space charge rise up to smite thee” (Pv. 32:1, or Hernandez-Garcia et al., Proc. FEL ’04) • “best” injected emittance DOES NOT NECESSARILY produce best DELIVERED emittance! • LSC effects visible with streak camera
Streak Camera Data from IR Upgrade -4o -3o -2o -5o -1o -6o 0o (t,E) vs. linac phase after crest (data by S. Zhang, v.g. from C. Tennant)
Streak Camera Data from IR Upgrade +4o +3o +2o +5o +1o +6o 0o (t,E) vs. linac phase, before crest asymmetry between + and - show effect of longitudinal space charge after 10 MeV (data by S. Zhang, v.g. from C. Tennant)
±4 and ±6 degrees off crest • “+” on rising, “-” on falling part of waveform • Lbunch consistent with dp/p and M56 from linac to observation point • dp/p(-)>dp/p(+) • on “-” side there are electrons at energy higher than max out of linac • distribution evolves “hot spot” on “-” side (kinematic debunching, beam slides up toward crest…) => LSC a concern… -4o -6o +4o +6o
Longitudinal Matching: The Concept • Basic idea: turn the long, low momentum spread bunch that comes out of the injector (maybe with chirp and curvature) into short bunch at the FEL • How? Parallel-to-point image in longitudinal phase space • Low momentum spread/long => “parallel” beam • Put beam through lens (linac, off crest longitudinal focusing) and then a longitudinal drift (beamline with compaction, M56≠0 transport with nonzero compaction injected beam wiggler linac
Longitudinal Matching: The Math E dE • Injected beam – with chirp and curvature { • Linac acts on injected beam { • Recirculator acts on accelerated beam { z eo dz E=Cz+Kz2 E t fo
Can expand Eout-Eo in powers of dz/lRF (small parameter) Eout-Eo = dE + dz[C-DE(2p/lRF) sin fo] + dz2[K-½ DE(2p/lRF)2 cos fo] + … and shovel into zWIG, group by powers of dz and dE/Eo (another small parameter) to get zWIG = M56(dE/Eo) + T566(dE/Eo)2 + dz {1 + M56 [(C/Eo)-(DE/Eo)(2p/lRF) sin fo] +2 T566 (dE/Eo) [(C/Eo)-(DE/Eo)(2p/lRF) sin fo] } + (dz)2 { [(K/Eo)-½ (DE/Eo) (2p/lRF)2 cos fo][M56 + 2 T566 (dE/Eo)] + T566 [(C/Eo)-(DE/Eo)(2p/lRF) sin fo]2 } + …
zWIG thus depends only on powers of (dE/Eo) – i.e. very small numbers - and a polynomial in dz. • Proper choice of parameters (M56, T566, fo, C, K,…) can make those terms very small – or vanish – making zWIG independent of dz – i.e., all lengths at injection go to zero offset at the wiggler: the bunch is compressed, giving high peak current Simple Case • Take C=0, K=0 and dE very small (i.e., make the injector designer’s life hard…) zWIG = dz {1 - M56 [(DE/Eo)(2p/lRF) sin fo]} + (dz)2 { [-½ (DE/Eo) (2p/lRF)2 cos fo]M56 + T566 [(DE/Eo)(2p/lRF) sin fo]2 } + …
Take And get zWIG = 0 – a very compressed (and curvature corrected) bunch… Numerical Example (JLab UV FEL Driver) Eo=135 MeV, fo=-10o, DE=(135-9)/cos 10o = 128 MeV,lRF = 0.2 m M56 = (0.2/2p)(135/128)(1/sin (-10o)) = -0.193 m T566 = ½ (2p/0.2)2 (128/135) cos(-10o)(-0.193 m)3 = -3.313 m
Summary: Longitudinal Match to FEL • Inject long, low-energy-spread bunch to avoid LSC problems • need 1-1.5o rms with 1497 MHz RF @ 135 pC in our machine • Chirp on the rising part of the RF waveform • counteracts LSC • phase set-point then determined by required momentum spread at wiggler • Compress (to required order, including curvature/torsion compensation) using recirculator compactions M56, T566, W5666,… • Entire process generates a parallel-to-point longitudinal image from injector to wiggler
Energy Recovery • Can do the same thing to compress energy spread from FEL during energy recovery. • Bunch length compression: long bunch + small dp/p => chirped beam => compression by momentum compaction • Energy compression: short bunch + large dp/p => decompress using momentum compaction => differential energy recovery to compress energy spread

Energy Recovery: Details Longitudinal Match to Wiggler • Inject long, low-energy-spread bunch to avoid LSC problems • need 1-1.5o rms with 1497 MHz RF @ 135 pC in our machine • Chirp on the rising part of the RF waveform • counteracts LSC • phase set-point then determined by required momentum spread at wiggler • Compress (to required order, including curvature/torsion compensation) using recirculator compactions M56, T566, W5666,… • Entire process generates a parallel-to-point longitudinal image from injector to wiggler
Longitudinal Match to Dump • FEL exhaust bunch is short & has very large energy spread (10-15%) • => Must energy compress during energy recovery to avoid beam loss linac during energy recovery; this defines the longitudinal match to dump • Highest energy must be phase-synchronous with (or precede) trough of RF wave-form • Transport momentum compactions must match the slope (M56), curvature (T566), torsion (W5666),… of the RF waveform • Recovered bunch centroid usually not 180o out of phase with accelerated centroid • Not all RF power recovered, but get as close as possible (recover ahead of trough), because… • Additional forward RF power required for field control, acceleration, FEL operation; more power needed for larger phase misalignments • For specific longitudinal match, energy & energy spread at dump does not depend on lasing efficiency, exhaust energy, or exhaust energy spread • Only temporal centroid and bunch length change as lasing conditions change • The match constitutes a point-to-parallel image from wiggler to dump
E E E t t t Energy Compression All e- after trough go into high-energy tail at dump • Beam central energy drops, beam energy spread grows • Recirculator energy must be matched to beam central energy to maximize acceptance • Beam rotated, curved, torqued to match shape of RF waveform • Maximum energy can’t exceed peak deceleration available from linac • Corollary: entire bunch must preced trough of RF waveform
Higher Order Corrections E • Without nonlinear corrections, phase space becomes distorted during deceleration • Curvature, torsion,… can be compensated by nonlinear adjustments • differentially move phase space regions to match gradient required for energy compression t • Required phase bite is cos-1(1-DEFEL/E); this is >25o at the RF fundamental for 10% exhaust energy spread, >30o for 15% • typically need 3rd order corrections (octupoles) • also need a few extra degrees for tails, phase errors & drifts, irreproducible & varying path lengths, etc, so that system operates reliably • In this context, harmonic RF very hard to use…
