A Non-interceptive Method to Measure Longitudinal Twiss Parameters of a Beam in a Hadron Linear Accelerator using Beam Position Monitors

Journal Article Aleksandrov, Alexander V ; Shishlo, Andrei P - Physical Review Special Topics - Accelerators and Beams

A new method of measuring of the RMS longitudinal Twiss parameters of a beam in linear accelerators is presented. It is based on using signals from beam position monitors (BPM) sensitive to the second order moment of the longitudinal charge distribution in the bunch. The applicability of the method is demonstrated on the superconducting section of the Oak Ridge Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) linear accelerator. The results are compared to a direct measurement of the bunch longitudinal profiles using an interceptive bunch shape monitor (BSM) in the linac warm section of the same accelerator. Limitations of the method are discussed.more »« less
Noninterceptive techniques for the measurement of longitudinal parameters for intense H/sup -/ beams

Conference Cottingame, W B ; Boicourt, G P ; Cortez, J H ; ... - IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci.; (United States)

With increasing brightness, beam diagnostic techniques requiring interception of the beam become impractical. For H/sup -/ particle beams, solutions for this problem based on the phenomenon of photodissociation are currently under investigation at the Los Alamos National Laboratory accelerator test stand (ATS). A laser can be used to selectively neutralize portions of the beam that can be characterized after the charged particles have been swept away. We have used this technique for the measurement of current density verus longitudinal phase and the longitudinal phase-space distribution at the output of the ATS radiofrequency quadrupole (RFQ). The results of our measurement aremore »« less

Nonintercepting beam size and position monitor using ODR for x-ray FELs.

Conference Lumpkin, A H ; Sereno, N S ; Berg, W J ; ...

Interest in nonintercepting (NI) beam size and position diagnostics between the undulators of x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) is driven by the requirement of beamemittance matching and beam alignment, as well as by the need to minimize radiation damage to the undulator permanent magnets from scattered beam produced by the insertion of converter screens. For these reasons our investigations on optical diffraction radiation (ODR) as relative beam size and position diagnostics are particularly relevant to XFELs. We report the extensions of our studies at 7-GeV beam energy to aspects of the vertical and horizontal polarization components of the ODR near-field andmore »« less
Emittance measurements of the Sub-Picosecond Accelerator electron beam using beam position monitors

Journal Article Russell, S J - Review of Scientific Instruments

In general, the spatial distributions of electron beams from photoinjectors are unknown and are not well approximated by a Gaussian. Therefore, when measuring the emittance, it is important to make no assumptions about the beam{close_quote}s spatial distribution. A diagnostic that fulfills this requirement uses beam position monitors to measure the second moment of the electron beam{close_quote}s image charge. This information, coupled with the beam line{close_quote}s transfer matrix, can be used as an unambiguous measure of the root mean square emittance that is independent of the beam{close_quote}s spatial distribution. Presented here are the results of the first implementation of this measurementmore »« less
