MOPC04 | Electron Beam Collimation for Slice Diagnostics and Generation of Femtosecond Soft X-Ray Pulses from a Free Electron Laser | 49 |
|
||
We present the experimental results of femtosecond slicing an ultra-relativistic, high brightness electron beam with a collimator*. We demonstrate that the collimation process preserves the slice beam quality, in agreement with our theoretical expectations, and that the collimation is compatible with the operation of a linear accelerator. Thus, it turns out to be a more compact and cheaper solution for electron slice diagnostics than commonly used radiofrequency deflecting cavities and having minimal impact on the machine design. The collimated beam can also be used for the generation of stable femtosecond soft x-ray pulses of tunable duration from a free electron laser.

TUAL1 | Longitudinal Phase Space Characterization at FERMI@Elettra | 303 |
|
||
The seeded FEL FERMI@Elettra has completed the commissioning of FEL1 line, and it is now providing the User Community with a coherent and tunable UV radiation (from 70nm to 20nm) in a number of different configurations, including an original twin-seeded pump-probe scheme. Among the key sub systems for the operation of FERMI@Elettra, there are the femto second optical timing system, some dedicated longitudinal diagnostics, specifically developed for FERMI@Elettra and, of course, state of art laser systems. In this paper, after a short review of the FERMI@Elettra optical timing system and of its routinely achieved performances, we focus on the results obtained from the suite of longitudinal diagnostics (Bunch Arrival Monitor, Electro Optical sampling station and RF deflectors) all operating in single shot and with 10s fs resolution which demonstrate the FERMI@Elettra achieved performances. The results from these longitudinal diagnostics are compared and shot to shot correlated with the results obtained from an independent longitudinal measurement technique, based on a spectrometer measurement of a linearly chirped electron bunch, which further validate the FERMI@Elettra operation. | ||

Funding: This work was supported in part by the Italian Ministry of University and Research under grants FIRB-RBAP045JF2 and FIRB-RBAP06AWK3. Radiation-sensing field-effect transistors (RADFETs) are integrating dosimeters that have found wide application in space and particle accelerator environments. We present a new system, the DOSFET-L02, for the readout of up to four RADFET sensors. The system features enhanced readout stability, support for long sensor cables, an adjustable exposure bias voltage of up to 30 V, and integrated temperature measurement. Recent measurements demonstrate the performance of the system with RADFETs at bias voltages of 9 V, 25 V, and under zero bias. |
