  The goal of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) is to test and optimize electron sources for Free Electron Lasers and future linear colliders. At the end of 2003 the first stage of PITZ (PITZ1) has been successfully completed, resulting in the installation of the PITZ RF gun at the Vacuum Ultra Violet - Free Electron Laser (VUV-FEL) at DESY Hamburg. The main results achieved during the PITZ1 extensive measurement program are discussed in this paper. A minimum normalized beam emittance of about 1.5 pi mm mrad for 1 nC electron bunch charge has been reached by optimizing numerous photo injector parameters, e.g. longitudinal and transverse profiles of the photocathode laser, RF phase, main and bucking solenoid current. The second stage of PITZ (PITZ2), being a large extension of the facility and its research program, has started now. Recent progress on the PITZ2 developments will be reported as well.

  New rf power couplers for the Superconducting Darmstadt Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC) injector have to be designed to transfer rf power up to 2 kW to the electron beam. This allows injector operation at beam currents from 0.15 mA to 0.2 mA and electron energies up to 14 MeV. The new couplers should possibly provide a variable external Q in the range from 5·106 to 3·109 and a small transverse kick. A variable coupling is needed to allow for perfect matching in the case of beam loading and when no beam is present, respectively. The second operation stage is used for cavity diagnostics. The asymmetric field distribution of the couplers generates emittance growth of the electron beam and therefore the transverse kick has to be minimized. Electromagnetic simulations are applied to investigate different coupler designs and to localize possible problems at an early stage. Cavity external Q and transverse kick can be calculated from 3D electromagnetic eigenmode solutions. The present coaxial-coaxial input couplers at the S-DALINAC are limited to power operation below 500 W under full reflection. Therefore, to reach power operation up to 2 kW two possible new realizations of low-kick waveguide couplers for the S-DALINAC injector are presented, namely a single-waveguide and a twin-waveguide coupler.

  The S-DALINAC is a 130 MeV superconducting recirculating electron accelerator serving several nuclear and radiation physics experiments as well as driving an infrared free-electron laser. For the experiments an energy stability of 1·10-4 should be reached. Therefore noninvasive beam position monitors will be used to measure the beam energy. For the measurement the different flight time of the electrons to the ideal particle are compared, that means in the simulations the longitudinal dispersion of the beam transport system is used for the energy detection. The results of the simulations show that it is possible to detect an energy difference of 1·10-4 with this method. The results are also proven by measurements.

  We describe the application of the Conformal Finite Integration Technique (CFIT) in the time-domain to beam dynamics simulations with the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method. The conformal method results in a more accurate field solution for complicated geometries than the traditional FIT approach. For long-time simulations we investigate several methods for the suppression of the spurious noise, typically emerging in PIC simulations. The results are compared with the analytical solution for a bunch in a semi-infinite waveguide for each of the presented methods. As a realistic example simulations for the RF-Gun installed at Photo Injector Test Facility in DESY Zeuthen (PITZ) will be presented.

WEPLT061 Influence of Beam Tube Obstacles on the Emittance of the PITZ Photoinjector 1981

    TEMF, Darmstadt
 
  For detailed analysis of space charge dominated beams inside an RF Photoinjector PIC-Codes like MAFIA TS2/3 can be used. While the interaction of particles with the sourrounding geometries are taken into account, the applicability of such codes is restricted due to simulation time and memory consumption as well as by numercial noise. Therefore only smaller sections of the whole injector can be calculated. On the other hand codes like ASTRA can be used to simulate the whole injector but no interaction between bunch and geometry is included. To make use of the individual advantages of each code discribed above an interface for bidirectional bunch exchange between the two programs has been implemented. This approach allows for applying the right simulation method depending on the physical effects under investigation. To demonstrate the importance of such an approach the results of detailed numerical studies of the impact of beam tube obstacles like the laser mirror on the achievable emittance of the PITZ RF Photoinjector further downstream will be presented.

  In this paper we estimate long- and short-range wake functions for new elements to be used in TESLA Test Facility (TTF) - II. The wake potentials of the LOLA-IV structure and the 3rd harmonic section are calculated numerically for very short bunches and analytical approximations for wake functions in short and long ranges are obtained by fitting procedures based on analytical estimations. The numerical results are obtained with code ECHO for high relativistic Gaussian bunches with RMS deviation up to 0.015 mm. The calculations are carried out for the complete structures (including bellows, rounding of the irises and the different end cell geometries) supplied with ingoing and outgoing pipes. The low frequency spectra of the wake potentials is calculated using the Prony-Pisarenko method.  
THPLT034 Implementation of Higher Order Moments for Beam Dynamics Simulation with the V-Code 2550

  Based on the moment approach V-Code is implemented to simulate charged particle beam dynamics in linear accelerators. Its main aim is to perform elementary studies in those cases when the beam can be considered as a whole and thus making the motion of individual particles negligible in the overall view. Therefore an ensemble of particles can be well described by the moments of its phase-space distribution and the regarded order influences naturally the achievable accuracy as well as the computational effort. Since the well known moment equations generally are not closed, a technique to limit the number of involved moments has to be applied. So far all moments up to the second order have been considered whereas higher order moments are truncated. As a further step towards higher accuracy the influence of higher order moments has to be investigated. For this reason additional third-order equations are implemented into the V-Code and the achieved results are compared with previous second-order-based ones as well as with higher order approximations.  
THPLT035 Development of a 3D-Gun-Code based on a Charge Conserving Algorithm 2553

  Recent efforts in the development of electron sources are aiming at high intensity electron beams, beyond the limitations posed by space-charge effects in conventional guns. Field emitter arrays, multi-beam and sheet-beam guns are a few examples of emerging technology, which require an accurate characterization of the limiting current in complicated 3D-geometry. The newly developed gun code at the Technische Universität Darmstadt, implements a novel approach to the numerical simulation of space-charge-limited electron emission, which is based on the local conservation of charge for arbitrary cathode surfaces. It is shown that, imposing exact charge conservation using the CAD-data of the geometry eliminates the spurious oscillations in the charge density, which typically arise when the piecewise-planar diode approximation is applied in the simulation. The accuracy of this approach is demonstrated in the validation study of a spherical diode and in the large-scale simulation of a Traveling Wave Tube amplifier.  
THPLT036 New Discretization Scheme for Wake Field Computation in Cylindrically Symmetric Structures 2556

  Collective effects due to wake fields are a limiting factor in almost every new front line accelerator. Since the early 80's computer codes such as TBCI and MAFIA have been developed for computing wake fields in realistic accelerator structures. With the advent of linear collider studies and small wavelength FEL projects these codes had to face a severe limitation. For the very short bunches in these new accelerators combined with the need for an analysis of very long sections the discrete dispersion became a serious drawback. This effect of having only discrete field values rather than continous ones can be overcome by special algorithms such as semi-implicit integrators as used e.g. in the wake field code ECHO. In this paper we present a new explicit approach which combines the advantage of explicit algorithms (fast) with the absence of dispersion in beam direction.  
THPLT037 Investigation of Numerical Noise in PIC-Codes 2559

  For a detailed analysis of the dynamics of space charge dominated beams a combination of Particle-in-Cell methods with efficient FDTD schemes is widely used. Besides the calculation of the forces acting on the particles the interaction of the beam itself with the surrounding geometries is taken into account. A drawback of this method is its sensitivity to numerical noise in the spectral range nearby the grid cutoff frequency. In this paper we will present results of detailed studies of the impact of the bunch shape on the level of the numerical noise. Furthermore an a priori scheme for efficient noise suppression is derived which does not affect the FDTD update algorithm.

  This paper presents wake field and wake potential calculation by using the Time Domain Boundary Element Method (TDBEM) on the MPI parallel computation system. The TDBEM is based on the electric field integral equation (EFIE) and the electric field integral equation (MFIE) in time domain. In wake field simulation, an important advantage of these equations is that electromagnetic fields in an accelerator cavity are explicitly expressed as a sum of charged particle self-fields and wake fields in time domain. On the other hand, the TDBEM has serious difficulties in practical numerical simulation, such as numerical instabilities, huge memory requirements, and heavy calculation cost. However, recent remarkable progress of computer performance makes the TDBEM possible to be used in practical simulations. According to these backgrounds, we apply the TDBEM to wake field simulation in the MPI parallel computer system. Simulation results are compared with that of a conventional method, the Finite Integration Techniques (FIT), and good agreements are shown.
