Evolutionary genetic optimization of the injector beam dynamics for the ERL test facility at IHEP

The energy recovery linac test facility(ERL-TF),a compact ERL-FEL(free electron laser)two-purpose machine,has been proposed at the Institute of High Energy Physics,Beijing.As one important component of the ERL-TF,the photo-injector was designed and preliminarily optimized.In this paper an evolutionary genetic method,non-dominated sorting genetic algorithmⅡ,is applied to optimize the injector beam dynamics,especially in the highcharge operation mode.Study shows that using an incident laser with rms transverse size of 1-1.2 mm,the normalized emittance of the electron beam can be kept below 1 mm·mrad at the end of the injector.This work,together with the previous optimization of the low-charge operation mode by using the iterative scan method,provides guidance and confidence for future construction and commissioning of the ERL-TF injector.

Beam dynamics studies of the photo-injector in low-charge operation mode for the ERL test facility at IHEP

The energy recovery linac test facility （ERL-TF）, which is a compact ERL-FEL （free electron laser） two-purpose machine, was proposed at the Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing. As one important component of the ERL-TF, the photo-injector that started with a photocathode direct-current gun has been designed. In this paper, optimization of the injector beam dynamics in low-charge operation mode is performed with iterative scans using Impact-T. In addition, the dependencies between the optimized beam quality and the initial offset at cathode and element parameters are, investigated. The tolerance of alignment and rotation errors is also analyzed.     

Suppression of the emittance growth induced by coherent synchrotron radiation in triple-bend achromats

The coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) effect in a bending path plays an important role in transverse emittance dilution in high-brightness light sources and linear colliders, where the electron beams are of short bunch length and high peak current. Suppression of the emittance growth induced by CSR is critical to preserve the beam quality and help improve the machine performance. It has been shown that the CSR effect in a double-bend achromat (DBA) can be analyzed with the two-dimensional point-kick analysis method. In this paper, this method is applied to analyze the CSR effect in a triple-bend achromat (TBA) with symmetric layout, which is commonly used in the optics designs of energy recovery linacs (ERLs). A condition of cancelling the CSR linear effect in such a TBA is obtained, and is verified through numerical simulations. It is demonstrated that emittance preservation can be achieved with this condition, and to a large extent, has a high tolerance to the fluctuation of the initial transverse phase space distribution of the beam.     

BBU effect in an ERL-FEL two-purpose test facility

Both the energy recovery linac (ERL) and the free electron laser (FEL) are considered to be candidate fourth generation light sources. It is proposed to combine an FEL into an ERL facility to integrate the advantages of both, and to realize a compact two-purpose light source. A test facility to verify this principle is being designed at the Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing. One main concern is the beam breakup (BBU) instability which limits the available beam current. To this end, we developed a numerical simulation code to calculate the BBU threshold, which is found to have only a small reduction even in a high-FEL-bunch-charge operation mode, compared with that in the case with ERL bunches only. However, even with the ERL beam current far below the BBU threshold, we observed a fluctuation of the central orbit of the ERL bunches in the presence of an FEL beam. We then present a physical model of BBU and understand the mechanism of the orbit-fluctuation in an ERL-FEL two-purpose machine. We found that by choosing an appropriate FEL bunch repetition rate, the central orbit fluctuation amplitude can be well controlled.     

BEPC横向阻尼时间的测量

 利用逐束团测量系统在BEPC储存环中跟踪单个束团得到其多圈位置振荡信息,获得BEPC储存环的横向阻尼时间与束流流强、色品、八极子和束流能量的关系,并通过分析得到了BEPC储存环辐射阻尼时间为52 ms。实验结果表明：流强越高、色品越大,阻尼率也就越大;束流流强为4.7 mA时八极子强度的变化对阻尼率没有影响;束流流强为5 mA时,阻尼率随束流能量升高而减小。
