Emittance related topics for fourth generation storage ring light sources
Author
Summary, in English
Beam size and emittance diagnostics of ultralow horizontal and vertical emittance electron beams can be achieved by focusing synchrotron radiation from dipole magnets, to form an image of the beam. When imaging in the visible and near-visible spectral ranges, diffraction and emission effects are dominant. The presented refined methods, however, make it possible and even beneficial to deduce small electron beam sizes from this radiation.
Diagnostics of the longitudinal charge distribution in the bunch, based on time-resolved measurements of synchrotron radiation, are of special interest, since bunch lengthening with passive harmonic rf cavities is an essential ingredient in the concept of the storage ring, extending Touschek lifetime and mitigating the effects of intrabeam scattering.
The horizontal emittance in the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring will lead, after correction of coupling and minimization of vertical dispersion, to a very low vertical emittance, lower than what might be requested by synchrotron radiation experimentalists. Operating with the negative consequences of a too low emittance such as a Touschek lifetime shorter than necessary and an increased intrabeam scattering can, however, be avoided if the vertical emittance is adjusted to a desired level in a controlled way. A scheme is introduced that excites vertical emittance by vertical dispersion while maintaining small source sizes for synchrotron radiation production in the insertion devices, and restores Touschek lifetime.
