Fast and flexible control of beam longitudinal phase space for high-repetition-rate x-ray free-electron lasers

The wide-ranging requirements for the photon properties from multiple beamlines in superconducting based free-electron lasers (FELs) demand more challenging beam manipulation techniques. Shot-by-shot control of electron beam bunch length and peak current at high repetition rate up to megahertz is highly desired. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of a method based on a 2-m-long normal conducting radio-frequency cavity to achieve fast and flexible control of beam compression and realize the full potential of the facility, including theoretical analysis, beam dynamics simulations, and conceptual cavity design for the Linac Coherent Light Source II and its high-energy upgrade. We illustrate the physical mechanism of the chirping cavity on the control of the final beam compression and propose methods to lower the requirements for the cavity parameters. The application of this method will allow tailored photon properties of individual beamlines to optimize their performance and drastically improve the multiplexing capabilities of a high-repetition rate FEL facility.

Theoretical formulation of phase space microbunching instability in the presence of intrabeam scattering for single-pass or recirculation accelerators

Microbunching instability (MBI) has been one of the most challenging issues in designs of high-brightness beam transport lines for single-pass or recirculating accelerators. Although the intrabeam scattering (IBS) has long been studied in lepton or hadron storage rings as a slow diffusion process or in high-intensity proton linear accelerators as one mechanism for the beam halo, the effects of IBS on single-pass or recirculating electron accelerators have drawn attention only in the recent two decades due to emergence of linac-based or energy-recovery-linac-based fourth-generation light sources, which require high-quality electron beams during the beam transport. In this paper we develop a theoretical formulation of microbunching instability in the presence of IBS for single-pass or recirculation accelerators. To quantify MBI with inclusion of IBS, we start from the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) equation, combining both collective interactions and incoherent IBS effects. The linearized VFP equation and the corresponding friction and diffusion coefficients are derived. The evolutions of the resultant density and energy modulations are formulated as a set of coupled integral equations. The theoretical formulation is then applied to a recirculating beamline design. The results from the semianalytical calculation are compared and show good agreement with massive particle tracking simulations.
