Sensitivity of the CSR Self-Interaction to the Local Longitudinal Charge Concentration of an Electron Bunch

Conference · · Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research, Section A
Recent measurements of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) effect carried out at CERN and at Jefferson Lab indicate that the observed emittance growth and energy modulation due to the orbit-curvature-induced bunch self-interaction are sometimes bigger than the results predicted from previous analyses and simulations based on a Gaussian longitudinal charge distribution. In this paper, by performing a model study, we show both analytically and numerically that when the longitudinal bunch charge distribution involves concentration of charges in a small fraction of the bunch length, enhancement of the CSR self-interaction beyond the Gaussian prediction may occur.
