TUPMA07 | Future Upgrades of the NSLS-II Injector | 601 |
|
||
In 2013 the NSLS-II injector, which consists of 200 MeV linac, 3 GeV booster, transport lines and storage ring injection straight section, will be entering operations. While building the NSLS-II injection system we invested substantial efforts in developing and preserving options for future upgrades and enchancements. In this paper we discuss the potential of incremental evolution of the NSLS-II injector performance by enabling upgrade options, such as the second gun, flexible bunch patterns, beam stacking in the booster, emittance compensation techniques in the transport lines, etc. These upgrades will expand capabilites of the NSLS-II facility and increase operational reliability. | ||
TUPMA09 | Analysis and Optimization of Coupler Kick in APEX | 607 |
|
||
A high repetition rate (~MHz) and high brightness photoinjector, based on VHF band CW normal conducting (NC) RF gun, is being developed under Advanced Photoinjector EXperiment (APEX) at Lawrence Berkeley Lab. A NC 30 MeV L-band linac system will be added after the gun to demonstrate beam brightness with lower repetition rate (~10 Hz). In this paper, coupler kicks from APEX buncher and acceleration cavities are evaluated by 3D RF simulation, analytical model and beam tracking, and coupler cells are optimized to minimize emittance dilution due to coupler kicks. | ||
TUPMA10 | LLNL X-band Test Station Status | 610 |
|
||
Funding: This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344. An X-band test station is being built at LLNL to support inverse Compton-scattering x-ray and gamma-ray source development. The major components for the X-band test station have been designed, fabricated, installed, and aligned. The XL-4 klystron has been delivered, dressed and installed in the ScandiNova modulator, and tested to full peak power. Final assembly and bakeout of RF transport, test station supports, and accelerator components is complete, and the current status of commissioning and first beam will be presented and discussed. Future upgrade paths and configuration for a variety of x-ray and gamma-ray applications will be discussed along with schedule for planned experiments. |

TUPMA15 | Monte Carlo Simulations of Charge Transport and Electron Emission from GaAs Photocathodes | 616 |
|
||
Funding: The authors wish to acknowledge the support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under SBIR grant DE-SC0006246 and Early Career DE-SC0003965. The need for a bright electron beam is increasing in the fields of x-ray science, electron diffraction and electron microscopy which are required for colliders. GaAs-based photocathodes have the potential to produce high-brightness, unpolarized and polarized, electron beams with performance that meets modern collider requirements. Even after decades of investigation, however, the exact mechanism of electron emission from GaAs is not well understood. Therefore, we investigate photoemission from a GaAs photocathode using detailed Monte Carlo electron transport simulations. Instead of a simple stepwise potential, we consider a triangular barrier including the effect of the image charge to take into account the effect of the applied field on the emission probability. The simulation results are compared with the experimental results for quantum efficiency, angular and energy distributions of emitted electrons without the assumption of any ad hoc parameters. |

TUPMA19 | Wisconsin SRF Electron Gun Commissioning | 622 |
|
||
Funding: Work supported by DOE Award #DE-SC0005264 and the University of Wisconsin The University of Wisconsin has completed fabrication and commissioning of a low frequency (199.6 MHz) superconducting electron gun based on a quarter wave resonator (QWR) cavity. Its concept was optimized to be the source for a CW free electron laser facility. The gun design includes active tuning and a high temperature superconducting solenoid. We will report on the status of the Wisconsin SRF electron gun program, including commissioning experience and first beam measurements. |

TUPMA20 | Effect of RF Gradient upon the Performance of the Wisconsin SRF Electron Gun | 625 |
|
||
The performance of the Wisconsin 200-MHz SRF electron gun is simulated for several values of the RF gradient. Bunches with charge of 200 pC are modeled for the case where emittance compensation is completed during post-acceleration to 85 MeV in a TESLA module. We first perform simulations in which the initial bunch radius is optimal for the design gradient of 41 MV/m. We then optimize the radius as a function of RF gradient to improve the performance for low gradients. | ||
WEOAA4 | Low Emittance in the Cornell ERL Injector Prototype | 706 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by National Science Foundation (Grant No. DMR-0807731) We present a detailed study of the emittances produced in the Cornell Energy Recovery Linac Photoinjector. Both the horizontal and vertical transverse phase spaces, as well as the time-resolved (sliced) horizontal phase space, were simulated and directly measured at the end of the injector for 19 pC and 77 pC bunches at roughly 8 MeV. The resulting 90% normalized transverse emittances for 19 (77) pC/bunch were 0.23 ± 0.02 (0.51 ± 0.04) μm in the horizontal plane, and 0.14 ± 0.01 (0.29 ± 0.02) μm in the vertical plane, respectively. These emittances were measured with a corresponding bunch length of 2.1±0.1 (3.0±0.2) ps, respectively. For both bunch charges, the rms momentum spread was determined to be on the order of 10-3. Excellent overall agreement between measurement and simulation has been demonstrated. The beam brightness measured in this work is significantly better than the best of modern storage rings, and represents a milestone for the field of high-brightness, high-current photoinjectors. |
