Title: Verification of the AWA Photoinjector Beam Parameters Required for a Transverse-to-Longitudinal Emittance Exchange Experiment

Conference ·
OSTI ID:958311

A transverse-to-longitudinal emittance exchange experiment is in preparation at the Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). The experiment aims at exchanging a low ({var_epsilon}{sub z} < 5 {micro}m) longitudinal emittance with a large ({var_epsilon}{sub x} > 15 {micro}m) transverse horizontal emittance for a bunch charge of {approx}100 pC. Achieving such initial emittance partitioning, though demonstrated via numerical simulations, is a challenging task and needs to be experimentally verified. In this paper, we report preliminary emittance measurements of the beam in the transverse and longitudinal planes performed at {approx}12 MeV. The measurements are compared with numerical simulations.
