Title: Beam parameters of a possible emittance-dynamics test area for NLC studies at the SLC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10122604

A group at SLAC has studied the possibility of using the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) to generate short-bunch small-emittance beams similar to those required for the Next Linear Collider (NLC). The conclusion is that such beams are feasible and that an experimental area for testing many concepts related to NLC beams can be provided with a reasonable addition of hardware to the existing SLC Linac. Some of the concepts that can be tested are: (1) effect tolerances of double bunch length compression, (2) wakefields of ultra-short bunches in accelerating structures, (3) the acceleration of short intense multiple bunches, (4) the generation and preservation of bunches with 100 to 1 emittances ratios, (5) beam deflections by collimators, (6) energy and energy spread control of multiple short bunches, and (7) vibration effects and trajectory stability for low emittance beams.
