v  Crucial advancements of FEL-based light sources (SASE XFELs and ERLs), able to achieve high brightness levels, have been achieved by ever brighter electron sources, where the beam brightness is defined as

v  Strong requirement for low-emittance in order to allow an FEL to

operate at a certain wavelength

v  Current 4th generation, as well as the future 5th generation, light sources greatly rely on beam quality, unlike previous generations, since they are high-gain and single-pass free electron lasers.

v  Although it is possible to operate in principle at any given emittance,

high-brightness beams will reduce the cost of the undulator (gain length ) and the number Linac sections used for energy gain.

Note: undulator cost in 2005 dollars $0.35M/m, Linac cost $20M/GeV.

v RF guns are able to provide very high currents and low emittances à high brightness! v The phenomenon by which the electron beam is created inside an RF photoinjector is known as

photoemission v The electrons are extracted out of the material upon absorption photons with energy greater than

the work function Φwork

v Very high electron density beam can be achieved by photoemission (beyond 100 kA/cm2 for metals, 108 A/cm2 for CsBr*)

v  Beam transverse and longitudinal characteristics can be manipulated by properly shaping the laser pulse

v High fields are necessary to preserve initial beam high brightness (possible inside RF structure because able to withstand breadowns better than DC ones)

RF Gun for the Fermi FEL at Sincrotrone Trieste

The Radio-Frequency (RF) of design a NCRF Gun for the Sincrotrone Trieste facility, which is termed “FERMI RF Gun 2” is based on the UCLA-University of Rome-INFN-LNF high repetition rate photoinjector*, which was improved upon the LCLS# version by use of larger radius of curvature of the input coupler irises, by the inclusion of an enhanced cooling channels system that allows for cathode exchangeable cathode plate and by using a single-feed scheme for more compactness.

RF pulsed heating, due to surface magnetic field, causes a temperature gradient ΔT on the metal at each RF pulse, followed by cooling between pulses causing surface fatigue (cyclic stress)àmicrocracks that may decrease the heat conductivity and in some conditions cause RF breakdown*.

ΔT = 45°C

below the safe limit!

•  ΔT is independent of the surface thickness and the cooling system. Practical “safe limit” in case of copper and in S-Band is about 50°C.

•  Crucial areas are the waveguide-to-coupling-cell and laser port irises

•  “rounded irises” are used (8mm diameter).

•  The peak surface magnetic field is nearly H||= 3.9*105 A/m @ input RF power = 9.8 MW

Dipole and Quadrupole Components

Cross section of the full cell. The field is calculated along circumferences with different radii R and for different values of the offset D, by which the two cell arcs are drifted apart.

Ø  A dummy waveguide (higher cut-off frequency), symmetric to the RF input waveguide, allows to erase the field dipole component.

Ø  The quadrupole component is eliminated by using a “race track” geometry. Ø  Higher order modes are considered negligible. RF input power

v  The gun was brought under vacuum in a test area to check if any leaks were present as well as the frequency shift that resulted to be about 800 kHz, as expected

v  The operating temperature of 39°C allowed for operation at exactly 2.99801 GHz, as it was verified. (good agreement with theory prediction of df/dT≈-50kHz/°C)

The GALAXIE Project

GALAXIE (GV-per-meter AcceLerator And X-ray-source Integrated Experiment) is a program to develop an all-optical, very high field accelerator and undulator integrated SASE FEL system based on dielectric laser-excited structures that support >GV/m fields.

v  Injector: high field gun with a magnetized cathode (1pC,1ps beam with angular momentum content) à  the Super Gun v  Transformer: beam passing through a skew-quad triplet that splits the emittances ( = 2*10-9 mrad ) v  Dielectric photonic structure: acceleration v  Inverse Transfomer: the emittance splitting process is reversed after acceleration and before the undulator

to avoid gain-degrading multiple-transverse-mode operation of the FEL

n  At PITZ the projected emittance is measured with a single slit scan technique. The advantage of long pulse train operation is used to maintain a high signal/noise ratio also for low bunch charges.

n  A conservative approach of calculating a real RMS emittance is applied which takes into account even the tails of the beam distribution. Therefore our emittance numbers are called „100% RMS emittance“ (è raw data = no signal cut or any fit performed). Still the results obtained are extremely good.

Ø Nearly ideal uniformly filled ellipsoidal distribution can also be obtained from an initial cigar aspect ratio and transverse space charge expansion •  Shape temporal profile of laser pulse •  Obtain sub-50 nm transverse emittance Ø  Experimental tests using <30 um laser spot on cathode.

New SPARC clamped gun The new SPARC RF GUN is a 1.6 cell gun and, with respect to the installed BNL/SLAC/UCLA type gun, has the following improvements: 1)  the iris profile has an elliptical shape and a larger

aperture to: -reduce the peak surface electric field; -increase the frequency separation between the two RF gun modes (up to 38 MHz) -increase the pumping speed on the half-cell;

2)  the tuning is realized by deformation tuners;

3)  the coupling hole has been strongly rounded to reduce the peak surface magnetic field and, therefore, the pulsed heating;

4)  The coupling coefficient has been increased form 1 to 2 to allow operation with shorter RF pulses (<1µs) thus reducing the BDR;

5)  the cooling pipes have been improved and increased in number to guarantee a better gun temperature uniformity and available operation up to 100 Hz;

6)  the structure has been realized without brazing but using special gaskets in order to:

-simplify the fabrication -reduce the cost -reach (because of the hard copper not brazed) higher accelerating field with lower BDR.

The gun has been realized and it is now under low power testing. High power test will be done after low power test.

Conclusions

v Radio-Frequency RF Guns are by far the most efficient device allowing the generation of high current, low emittance electron beams

v The new RF gun for the Fermi FEL at Sincrotrone Trieste was successfully installed and conditioned at high-power (11MW, 1.5µs and 50Hz)

v  Fermi II RF Gun is an improved and more compact version of the current gun (Fermi Gun 1.5 mm-mrad) and it will hopefully allow to achieve much lower emittance values. First beam at the end of April 2013.

v The design of the “Super Gun” for the GALAXIE project represents a break-through in the field of

RF multi-cell Guns à new materials, material technology (e.g. Free Form Fabrication?), surface handling, laser shaping…

v  Point of interest for many Labs at the moment à beam charge from 40pC to 300pC

v Ultra-low charge (<1pC) à ; is it a main step to go towards the 5th generation light source?
