| RPPB19 | Electron Bunch Length Measurement for LCLS at SLAC | 644 |
|
||
| At Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) a Bunch Length Measurement system has been developed to measure the length of the electron bunch for its new Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). This destructive measurement uses a transverse-mounted RF deflector (TCAV) to vertically streak the electron beam and an image taken with an insertable screen and a camera. The device control software was implemented with the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) toolkit. The analysis software was implemented in Matlab using the EPICS/Channel Access Interface for Scilab and Matlab (labCA). This architecture allowed engineers and physicists to develop and integrate their control and analysis without duplication of effort. |
