Title: THz-driven surface plasmon undulator as a compact highly directional narrow band incoherent x-ray source

Abstract

We propose a short period undulator which is based on the alternating electromagnetic field pattern of THz-driven surface plasmons in a thin conductive layer on a dielectric grating. An approximate analytical model allows to assess the key performance parameters of the undulator and to estimate the emitted radiation spectrum. The specific example of a graphene based undulator is simulated in detail. For a moderate electron beam energy of 100 MeV and a bunch charge of 0.5 pC the 40 mm long undulator is shown to emit narrow band 1 keV X-ray pulses with a peak brightness of approximately 10¹⁶ photons/(s mrad² mm² 0.1% BW). It therefore has potential for a compact and low cost X-ray source.

THz-driven split ring resonator undulator

Journal Article Rohrbach, D. ; Ollmann, Z. ; Hayati, M. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

We propose a short period undulator based on the electromagnetic field pattern in a THz-driven split ring resonator structure. An analytical model is developed that allows us to assess the key performance parameters of the undulator and to estimate the emitted radiation spectrum. Different geometric configurations are compared in detail using numerical simulations. A 100 MeV electron bunch with 5 pC charge is shown to emit narrow band 83 eV photon pulses with a peak brightness of approximately 10¹⁹ photons/(s mrad² mm² 0.1% BW) when passing through the 100 mm long undulator with a 1 mm period.

Sub-Picosecond Tunable Hard X-Ray Undulator Source for Laser/X-Ray Pump-Probe Experiments

Journal Article Ingold, G ; Beaud, P ; Johnson, S ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The FEMTO source under construction at the {mu}XAS beamline is designed to enable tunable time-resolved laser/x-ray absorption and diffraction experiments in photochemistry and condensed matter with ps- and sub-ps resolution. The design takes advantage of (1) the highly stable operation of the SLS storage ring, (2) the reliable high harmonic operation of small gap, short period undulators to generate hard x-rays with energy 3-18 keV at 2.4 GeV beam energy, and (3) the progress in high power, high repetition rate fs solid-state laser technology to employ laser/e-beam 'slicing' to reach a time resolution of ultimately 100 fs.

Study of tunable narrow-band THz and high-intensity channeling radiation sources with a 50 MeV class photo-injector

Thesis/Dissertation Hyun, Jibong ; Sen, T.

This thesis describes the generation of frequency tunable narrow-band THz radiation and energy tunable quasi-monochromatic hard X-rays using a 50 MeV class photoinjector. We produce micro-bunched beams using a slit-mask and a chicane and then generate THz radiation by sending them to a metallic foil or passing through a small wiggler. As for hard-X-ray generation, we employ channeling radiation (CR) which can emit quasi-monochromatic hard X-rays with a single crystal and an electron beam with an energy of below 100 MeV. We performed each demonstration experiment to verify the theory and simulations at the FAST (Fermi Accelerator Science and Technology)more »« less

Design of an X-ray FEL undulator

Journal Article Carr, Roger - AIP Conference Proceedings

An undulator designed to be used for an x-ray free electron laser has to meet a set of stringent requirements. With no optical cavity, an x-ray FEL operates in the single pass Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) mode; an electron macropulse is microbunched by an undulator and the radiation it creates. The microbunched pulse emits spontaneous radiation and coherent FEL radiation, whose power may reach saturation in a sufficiently long and perfect undulator. The pulse must have low emittance and high current, and its trajectory in the undulator must keep the radiation and the pulse together with a very highmore »« less
