| MO6RFP099 | A Single Bunch Electron Gun for the ANKA Injector | 602 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work has been supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320. The microtron of the ANKA injector is presently equipped with a diode- type electron gun, which produces long pulses. A new thermionic DC triode-type electron gun has been ordered and foreseen for installation in the ANKA injector. The new gun allows single bunch as well as long pulse operation, thus offering the possibility to study beam properties in single bunch operation. This is particularly of interest for the investigation of the short bunch dynamics in the generation of coherent THz radiation. Furthermore, the new gun will make time resolved measurement possible. Simulations of the gun-to-microtron transport with special emphasis on the emittance evolution e.g. due to space charge have been done. Measurements of the gun performance are presently underway and are summarised in this paper. |

| TU5RFP025 | A Full-Energy-Injector for the ANKA Storage Ring | 1147 |

The ANKA storage ring is filled at 0.5 GeV and then ramped to 2.5 GeV for regular user operation. A full-energy injection of the ANKA storage ring would have several advantages. The damping at a beam energy of 2.5 GeV is stronger, which will more efficiently fight instabilities during the injection, therefore allowing higher beam currents. With constant magnet settings, the orbit stability would improve significantly. The injection time would be reduced and topping- up operation would become possible. As a consequence, the optical elements of the user beamlines would see a constant power as a function of time which further enhances the overall stability. In this paper, a design for a full energy injector is proposed. The injector will be located inside the storage ring tunnel, similar to the SLS and ALBA design. The focusing is mainly provided by combined function magnets. The full energy injector has a design emittance of 40 nmrad and a circumference of 94.8 m. A modification of the existing storage ring is foreseen to house the necessary more powerful injection elements. |

| TU5RFP026 | Electro-Optical Sampling of Terahertz Radiation Emitted by Short Bunches in the ANKA Synchrotron | 1150 |

In a synchrotron radiation source coherent synchrotron radiation is emitted when the bunch length is comparable to the wavelength of the emitted radiation. To generate coherent THz (far IR) radiation, the ANKA storage ring is operated regularly with a dedicated low-alpha optics. Typical effective pulse lengths are of the order of 1 ps and below. In order to characterize the THz emission and beam oscillations in this mode a femtosecond laser system has been set up. This allows resolving the Terahertz electrical field by electro-optical sampling in a ZnTe crystal. The laser system consists of a 500 MHz repetition rate oscillator that can be phase locked to the repetition rate of the synchrotron. First results are presented. In contrast to previous approaches the high repetition rate is used in conjunction with a high frequency detection scheme in order to significantly increase the sensitivity of the detection. The discussion will concentrate on the limits in synchronization by locking the laser to either the bunch clock, a stripline signal in the ring or the visible light emission co-propagating with the THz radiation. The observations are compared to calculated pulse shapes. |

| TU5RFP028 | TBONE: Ultra-Fast High-Power Coherent THz to Mid-IR Radiation Facility | 1156 |
|
||
|
A linac based coherent radiation source in the THz to mid-IR range is proposed. The TBONE machine will deliver pulses of radiation as short as a few fs in the frequency range from 0.1 to 150 THz with up to MW peak power. This combination of parameters will open up unprecedented opportunities in THz and infrared applications, such as e.g. microscopy or spectroscopy. This paper presents the main parameters and design considerations. Special emphasis is put on the study of suitable bunch compression and beam transport schemes. |

| TU5RFP027 | Observation of Coherent THz Radiation from the ANKA and MLS Storage Rings with a Hot Electron Bolometer | 1153 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work has partly been supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320. In synchrotron radiation sources coherent radiation is emitted when the bunch length is comparable to or shorter than the wavelength of the emitted radiation. A detector system based on a superconducting NbN ultra-fast bolometer with an intrinsic response time of about 100 ps jointly developed by the University of Karlsruhe (Institute of micro- and nanoelectronic systems) and German Aerospace Center (Berlin) was used to resolve the radiation emitted from single bunches. This paper reports the observations made during measurements at the MLS and ANKA storage rings. |

| TH5RFP044 | Observation of Electron Clouds in the ANKA Undulator by Means of the Microwave Transmission Method | 3549 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work has partly been supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320. A superconducting undulator is installed in the ANKA electron storage ring. Electron clouds could potentially contribute to the heat load of this device. A microwave transmission type electron cloud diagnostic has been installed for the undulator section of the ANKA machine. We present the system layout with particular emphasis on the electron machine aspects. Hardware transfer function results and e-cloud data for different machine settings are discussed. Special care has been taken for front end filter design both on the microwave injection and pick-up side. |

| TH6PFP076 | Status of Schottky Diagnostics in the ANKA Storage Ring | 3880 |
|
||
|
Funding: This work has partly been supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320 The status of longitudinal and transverse Schottky observation systems for the synchrotron light source ANKA is presented. ANKA regularly operates in a dedicated low alpha mode with short bunches for the generation of coherent THz radiation. The Schottky measurement results are shown and compared with theoretical predictions for the regular as well as the different stages of the low alpha mode of operation. Special care had to be taken to control and mitigate the impact from strong coherent lines of the short bunches on the signal processing chain. The system setup is shown, expected and unexpected observations as well as applications are discussed. |

| FR5RFP095 | Studies of Bunch Distortion and Bursting Threshold in the Generation of Coherent THz-Radiation at the ANKA Storage Ring | 4761 |
|

Funding: This work has been supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association under contract number VH-NG-320. In synchrotron light sources, coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is emitted at wavelengths comparable to and longer than the bunch length. One effect of the CSR wake field is the distortion of the bunch distribution, which increases with higher currents. In the theoretical calculations, a threshold exists beyond which the solutions begin to diverge. On the other hand, the CSR wake can also excite a micorbunching instability which prevents stable emission of CSR for high currents and leads to highly intense bursts of radiation. In this paper the development of the calculated bunch shapes and the corresponding moments of the current distribution for varying bunch currents are studied. It can be shown that the numerical threshold beyond which the solutions diverge, does not coincide with the observed bursting-stable-threshold at the ANKA storage ring, which agrees well with theory. |
