D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 Outline The velocity bunching concept SPARC hardware overview VB SPARC Emittance degradation by solenoid misalignment Conclusions

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 The velocity bunching concept: the beam is injected in a long accelerating structure at the 0 crossing field phase Injection at low energies where The beam is slower than the phase velocity of the RF wave (typically the first LINAC after the gun) it will slip back to phases where the field is accelerating, but at the same time it will be chirped and compressed. Compression and acceleration take place at the same time within the same linac section At SPARC the beam is accelerated from 4-5 MeV up to MeV (instead of 60-65)

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 LOW COMPRESSION OVER-C MEDIUM COMPRESSION HIGH-C Peak current vs RF compression phase SPARC nominal case Initial parameters: 1 nC beam 10 ps long

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 If the transverse emittance can be preserved during the longitudinal focusing, the beam brightness can be increased L. Serafini, M. Ferrario, “Velocity Bunching in PhotoInjectors”, AIP CP 581, 2001, pag.87 may avoid the phase space degrading effects observed in magnetic compression experiments on photoinjector-derived beams SPARC... What happens to the transverse plane?

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 TW solenoids Off VS ON, slice emittances: The solenoid misalignment leads to an increase of the projected emittance, which is not found looking at the slice emittances; the mismatch parameter is similar in the two cases; The difference is due to slice centroid misalignement (will be treated more in detail further on in the presentation); A beam based alignment is mandatory to reach lower projected emittances;

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 Critical point: Proj. emittance degradation due to solenoids misalignment The solenoid force is energy dependent: K L =qB 0 /2m 0 cβγ strong energy-time correlation in VB conditions different focusing forces for different time slices if the beam is propagating off axis respect to the magnetic field, the slice centroids will experience time dependent kicks Induced longitudinal-transverse correlation, proj. emittance increase Lower Energies higher Energies

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 M.Ferrario, V.Fusco, M.Migliorati, L. Palumbo,Int. Journal of Modern Physics A,Vol 22, No. 3 (2007) uses the slice centroid different from 0 only if slice centroids do not lie on the same axis correlation between slice centroid spread and single slice dimension in ph.sp. ε x env =0ε x cent =0 ε x cross ≠0 Slice centroid contribution to the emittance:

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 From the slice emittance with the quad scan, the values of alpha beta and emittance for each slice are calculated at one precise position From the QS measurements also the system for slice centroids (both in X and X’) can be written and solved (first order system) All the 3 emittance terms can be calculated Measured H. Projected (red dot)= 2.3um ε x env =1.5 um ε x cent =0.52 um ε x cross =1.72 um ε x tot =√(ε x env ) 2 + (ε x env ) 2 +(ε x env ) 2 =2.34um Slice centroids Vs Z Slice mean divergence Vs Z Transverse phase space distorsion due to beam misalignment

D. Filippetto HBEB-MAUI_09 Conclusions: Next steps BBA on TW solenoids emittance study as function of TW solenoid fields (field shaping) Longitudinal phase space detailed studies (slice DE) THZ production, ICS experiments, FEL single spike, laser comb Demonstrated transverse emittance preservation in the VB regime for medium compression factors; Preliminary studies on high CF show an emittance decrease, but still work to do to fully compensate. Higher total energy spreads make the beam emittance sensitive to magnetic components misalignment (quads, sol., etc...) The slice centroid spread contribution to the projected emittance can be isolated and measured
