National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

IFEL-Chicane Based Microbuncher at 800nm.

DE2004833065

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	SEars, C. M.; Colby, E.; Barnes, C.
Page Count	12
Abstract	As a first stage to net acceleration in a laser based EM structure RF electron pulses must be microbunched to match the laser wavelength. We report on the design of an undulator and chicane for microbunching at 800nm using an inverse free electron laser (IFEL) interaction. This includes design considerations for the hardware itself, the laser IFEL interaction and bunching performance, and a full 3D particle tracking simulation to study the focusing effects and possible emittance growth due to the fringe fields of the magnets. The talk will close with a discussion of laser-electron beam diagnostics for overlap in the undulator and for diagnosing microbunching performance.
