Phase space manipulation techniques within two degrees of freedom are foreseen to enhance the performances of next generation accelerators such as high-energy physics colliders and accelerator based light sources. At the Fermilab A0 photoinjector, a proof-of-principle experiment to demonstrate the exchange of the transverse and longitudinal emittances is ongoing. The emittance exchange beamline consists of a 3.9 GHz normal conducting deflecting mode cavity flanked by two doglegs. Electron bunches with charges of 250 pC and energy of 14.3 MeV are routinely sent through the exchanger. In this paper, we report our latest results on the demonstration of emittance exchange obtained with significantly improved beam diagnostics. We also compare our experimental results with a simple numerical model. |
