“We physicists love simple problems. So much so that our immediate reaction to complex puzzles is to keep staring at them until some simple picture suggests itself.”

[T. Mcleish, August issue of Physics Today]

I have been staring at photoinjector dynamics for a few years. Here I will share what I have seen so far.

(a luxury for beam physics.)

Emittance compensation --- theoretical developments Oscillation and growth of projected emittance

– linear space charge dominate, nonlinearities are small, slice emittance is preserved– but projected bunch emittance oscillates and grows due to different space-charge

defocusing among slices and chromatic effects and so on– emittance compensation is a the cure [Carlsten, NIM A285,313(1989)]

Emittance compensation is critical to achieve high-brightness proper focusing can recover the projected emittance

Emittance compensation works well in recovering emittance degradation due to linear space-charge forces.

Performance starts to be limited by thermal emittance, nonlinear space charges, etc.

Multi-objective optimization with parallelized particle tracking [I.V. Bazarov et. al., PR ST-AB 8, 034202 (2005)]

Need to combine particle tracking, envelop analysis, and theory

It is important but not easy to analyze and quantify the limitations to beam brightness in a design simulation


High-brightness photoinjector dynamics are complex

Rapid acceleration from rest to relativistic

– important to overcome space-charge effects

Space-charge-dominated to emittance-dominated

– nonlinear space-charge force depends on details of bunch shape/laser pulse

– emittance compensation is critical to overcome emittance blowup due to linear space-charge force (and more)

– image-charge force near cathodes is significant

Time-dependent rf force (acceleration and focusing)

– ponderomotive focusing is important and has chromatic effects

– certain defocusing close to cathode

– rf curvature creates nonlinearity and limits bunch length

Solenoid focusing with large fringe field

– main knob for emittance compensation, chromatic effect is significant

Intrinsically nonlinear problems

– forces are nonlinear, especially space-charge force

– envelope equations are nonlinear, even for linear forces


Hamiltonian suitable for perturbative analysis (I)

Starting with Required features

– suitable for perturbation

– allow rapid acceleration from non-relativistic to relativistic

– mostly decoupled / solvable form Coordinate systems

– use derivations from reference particle as dynamical variables for perturbation

– use s as the explicit independent variable for convenience, but still use time t as implicit independent variable for calculating space-charge forces, and thus use (z, p ) instead of (t, -E) as longitudinal variables

– use reduced-coordinates to decouple (x, px) etc.z

Beam envelope equation governing (linear) transverse beam dynamics

– self-consistent space-charge force is built into this equation– coefficients are rapidly changing– coefficients are slice-dependent, especially the perveance – nonlinear, nonautonomous ODE, notoriously hard to solve analytically

– Emittance is very difficult to handle analytically

Beam envelope equation

In high-brightness photoinjectors, electrons behave as laminar flow in both longitudinal and transverse planes. Thus, a bunch can be treated as many individual slices, each follows its own envelope equation. [Serafini & Rosenzweig (1997)]

Shortcomings of invariant-envelope theory

Emittance evolution far from equilibrium in the gun

– no equilibrium at all in the gun (everything is time-dependent) and in the following drift space (no focusing)

– envelopes are far away from equilibrium

– lack of criteria for emittance compensation (despite the matching condition)

– practical designs rely on simulations (with handwaving theory)

►general perturbation theory and new compensation criteria

Transition from space-charge regime to the thermal regime

– space-charge-dominated theory isn’t enough

– no equilibrium solution away from space-charge regime (inadequate focusing)

– perturbative solution around invariant envelope diverges

– nonlinear effects are significant

Emittance compensation inside booster / linac Transition from space-charge regime to thermal regime

– common to most high-brightness beam, but not well studied

– invariant-envelope theory is limited to space-charge regime

– intrinsic nonlinearity is significant and very hard to treat

– magnetized beam can cross the transition at low energy

Some obvious questions

– what happens to the invariant-envelope solution?

– how restrictive is the matching condition (phase-space acceptance)?

– is it possible to preserve the emittance across the transition?

– any criteria besides matching to the invariant-envelope?

Recent findings:

– universal envelope equation

– solution of invariant-envelope across the transition

– emittance formula that correctly includes thermal emittance
