LEDS Workshop – Longitudinal Electron beam Dynamics for coherent light Sources

Oct 3, 2023, 10:00 AM → Oct 5, 2023, 5:30 PM Europe/Rome

ENEA Frascati, Rome

Federico Nguyen (ENEA), Simone Di Mitri (Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste)

The workshop aims at collecting the most recent advancements in the controlled generation of high brightness electron beams from photo-injectors for coherent light sources. These include in particular seeded X-ray free-electron lasers and multi-THz superradiant sources. The workshop will move from lessons learned during the CompactLight design study. Theoretical, numerical and experimental studies will be presented and reviewed during round tables. Open routes of research in the manipulation of modulated electron beams will be investigated. Future experiments, supported by specific technological developments, and their comparison with accurate massive simulations, will be proposed in the framework of the LEAPS initiative. A round table for the definition of a LEAPS project proposal is planned at the end of the workshop, and open to all participants.

The program is made of 6 sessions. These include invited talks and round tables (see Scientific Programme). Posters (in format A0, portrait orientation) could be presented under approval by the Local Organizing Committee.

The workshop will take place from October 3 to October 5, 2023. It is hosted by ENEA in Frascati, near Rome, Italy. It is organized by Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and ENEA, and financed by Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and LEAPS. The number of participants is limited to 65. Registration is mandatory and participation possible only under approval by the Local Organizing Committee.

The workshop is intended to be in person only. A bus service from Frascati village to ENEA and return will be made available during the workshop.

WIFI connection will be free, through the Eduroam network. Please make sure to have a valid Eduroam account to access (https://eduroam.org/).

22 Half-wavelength velocity bunching: non-adiabatic temporal focusing of charged particle beams

X-ray Free-Electron Lasers (XFELs) and MegaElectronVolt Ultrafast Electron Diffractometers (MeV UEDs) are revolutionary scientific instruments that allow visualising the dynamics in a wide range of systems from atoms and molecules to phonons, magnons and plasmons. Femtosecond (fs) electron beams are at the heart of XFELs and MeV UEDs, and the formation of fs electron beams with ultrahigh densities in the phase space is the subject of active research. We report an interesting regime of non-adiabatic compression of electron beams by two orders of magnitude. Via analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we show that few MeV electron beams (an isolate ensemble of electrons in a beam) can be trapped and compressed by a strong electromagnetic field within a half of the wavelength. Furthermore, in a multi-cell accelerating cavity, the bunch is first compressed and then accelerated, thus allowing one to preserve very short bunch duration. For example, a 3 ps 16-pC 1-MeV electron bunch is compressed to 30 fs rms and accelerated to 12 MeV in a TESLA uperconducting cavity. This proposed mechanism of compression, which is another mode of velocity bunching, It opens the door for obtaining very high electron densities in the phase space.
