Fast Electron Beam and FEL Diagnostics at the ALICE IR- FEL at Daresbury Laboratory Frank Jackson, Accelerator Science and Technology Centre (ASTeC), Daresbury Laboratory, United Kingdom

The ALICE Daresbury Laboratory A ccelerators and L asers I n C ombined E xperiments An accelerator R&D facility based on a superconducting energy recovery linac DC Gun (325 kV), SC Booster (~ 7 MeV), SC Linac (~30 MeV), oscillator IR-FEL. History of construction, commissioning and operation ~ 10 years. Various applications over the years – used as injector to EMMA ns- FFAG

ALICE parameters/beam structure Runs at 0.1% duty factor, or trains of 100 μs at 10 Hz 60 pC bunches at MHz within train, i.e. one bunch every 62 nsec, ~1600 bunches in one train. 0.1 s 100 μs 62 ns ~1600 bunches

ALICE Fast Diagnostics Fast photo electromagnetic detector (PEM) to measure individual FEL pulse intensity – showed fast FEL instability quite soon after first lasing. Fast BPMs originally developed for EMMA ring (orbit period approximately 55 ns), to measure turn-by-turn beam position. –BPM electronics transferred to ALICE BPMs, to measure bunch-by-bunch position. High resolution time-of-arrival detectors also being developed for ASTeC’s other projects and fundamental technology development Capabilities for synchronised FEL and e-beam fast diagnostics put to use on ALICE.

ALICE Diagnostics Details Please see the following references for more information BPMs –A. Kalinin et al ‘Application of EMMA BPMs to the ALICE ERL’, IBIC 2012, Tsukuba. –I. Kirkman et al ‘Calibration of EMMA BPMs …’, IPAC 2012, New Orleans TOA –T.T. Ng et al ‘Optical Clock Distribution System at the ALICE ERL’, IPAC 2011, San Sebastian –T.T. Thakker et al, ‘Bunch Train Characterisation for an IR-FEL driven by an ERL’, IPAC 2013, Shanghai. FEL –Photoelectromagnetic detector (PEM x1 from VIGO Systems S. A.) which has a time constant of <1 ns.

FEL output instability The shot-to-shot (macropulse) FEL power stability is estimated at O(1%) –FEL used mainly for microscopy experiments (SNOM) But there is also variation in the FEL micropulse power, within a shot, on the μs timescale. Observed in first weeks after first FEL lasing. ~100 kHz variation quite obvious Cause not immediately obvious and remained a curiosity rather than a problem FEL micropulse power at various FEL cavity tunings 100 μs train 24 th Feb 2011 FEL micropulse intensity, first observation 100 μs train DFT FEL micro-pulse intensity. frequency MHz other components?

Bunch Position Instability Fast BPM reveal instability also in the bunch-by- bunch position (greater in x, the ‘machine plane’), in dispersive and non- dispersive regions Pronounced instability at kHz throughout machine of ~ 0.1 mm magnitude –Less pronounced in gun-booster beamline Bunch charge variation (BPM sum-signal) visible at 300 KHz –Leaks through to x/y computation/measurement. UPSTREAM ARC Bunch x-position INJECTOR, PRE-BOOSTER Bunch charge (i.e. sum BPM signal) typical appearance at all locations freq. MHz INJECTOR, POST-BOOSTER DFT

Photo Injector Laser Instabilities Has been seen as a cause of FEL instability at Studied instability of laser pulses with quadrant photodiode on virtual cathode. 300 kHz laser pulse intensity instability is clear and confirmed by several independent measurements –And transfers to x, y position instability Some evidence of kHz laser position instability, but much less clear than bunch position instability in post-linac lattice * W.Koprek et al, FEL 2010, Malmo PI laser virtual cathode QPD measurements Laser pulse intensity (photodiode) Bunch charge (Faraday cup)

ALICE synchronised fast diagnostics Study was test-bed for optical TOA diagnostics and to gain more information on instabilities The same shot could be analysed on several different diagnostics Clear correlation between observed instabilities in bunch position, TOA, FEL power. TOA return beam TOA FEL power BPM FEL power TOA return beam BPM TOA FEL TUNEDFEL DETUNED

Conclusions kHZ instability in the ALICE-FEL power, caused by bunch position instability –Not a significant problem for present applications 300 kHz instability sometimes seen in FEL power, usually seen in bunch position (but much smaller than kHz). PI laser certainly responsible for 300 kHz, and may be responsible for the kHz. Needs more study to determine evolution of instabilities and role of other factors – RF, magnets.

FEL Instability – ‘limit cycle’ effect? In this process sub-pulses evolve in the main FEL radiation pulses due to slippage effects. This leads to the modulation of the macropulse power envelope. Seen at FELIX (Netherlands) IR-FEL Frequency of modulation  detuning. For ALICE parameters, we expect that if detuning changes by 10 μm, the modulation frequency changes by 800 kHz NO EVIDENCE FOR THIS IN ALICE DATA
