  1. Strathclyde programme:beam and plasma diagnostic Prof. Dino Jaroszynski and Silvia Cipiccia University of Strathclyde

  2. Outline of talk Plasma characterization with THz-TDS Beam diagnostic: pulselengthmeasurements THz-TDS/CTR Electron energy measurements Conclusions and future work

  3. Plasma characterization • Plasma for AWAKE: • Li or Rbvapour, density ≈ 1015cm-3 • Requirements: • Density uniformity <0.1% • Temperature uniformity • Diagnostic: EO-TDS to directly determine the plasma density and temperature in a single shot Small and large spatial scale

  4. Plasma characterization • The plasma complex dielectric constant dielectric properties (for non-magnetised plasma) • wpis the plasma frequency, n is the plasma collisional frequency, which depends on the temperature and density. Attenuation constant Propagation constant Measuring absorption and phase delay (DF = L [w/c-k] ), plasma density and collisional frequency can be deduced

  5. Plasma characterization • Experimental results @ Strathclyde: • 15 cm long, 2 cm diameter He filled tube (24 mbar) • Plasma formed with 1 kHz, 6 kV, 50 ns rise time electrical discharge (1011-1015 cm-3) • Ti:sapphire laser (1 mJ, 800 nm, 80 fs) to initiate THz emission from GaAs emitter • 1 mm thick <110> ZnTe crystal to sample the THz pulse • Time range: >30 ps (sampling window) • From the time resolve E(t)E(w) • Reference signal E0(w): THz pulse preceding the discharge Jamison,…and Jaroszynski, J. Appl. Phys. 93, 4334, 2003

  6. Plasma characterization Experimental at Strathclyde: setup E(t) Phase shift: Field amplitude Jamison,…and Jaroszynski, J. Appl. Phys. 93, 4334, 2003

  7. Plasma characterization • By simultaneously comparing the phase delays and the transmission cut-off with a reference phase delay we expect to determine the plasma density to within 0.1%. • Spatial distributionspatially resolved phase measurement. • Develop plasma media that are suitable for the EO diagnostic development (prototype developed at Strathclyde) • Improve stability of kHz Ti:sapphire laser to make it suitable for 0.1% plasma density measurements • Use diagnostic system to measure plasma density and determine density to within 0.1% and determine the spatial resolution. • Test EO TDS diagnostic system using the laser plasma wakefield accelerator at Strathclyde to determine temporal resolution

  8. Beamdiagnostic • As for plasma: measurement based on THz EO-TDS • Plasma density: direct spectroscopic method • Electronbunch properties: transverse Coulomb field indirectly determined from induced electro-optic phase delays  • In AWAKE project: • p+: 450 GeV, 12 cm • e-: 5-20 MeV, 300fs-3 ps (0.165-1 mm)bunching sub-ps length (Konstantin presentation yesterday) *Jamison,…, Jarsozinsky, Opt. Lett. 31, 2006

  9. Beamdiagnostic • Basic scheme: Spectral decoding Temporal decoding

  10. Beamdiagnostic Spectral decoding • measure probe intensity I() • known (initial) (t) • infer I(t) • simple setup • Temporal resolution: • bandwidth of the laser: • e--probe distance: • Spectrometer resolution: FELIX: 46 MeV, 200 pC Temporal resolution: 400 fs 1.7ps FWHM Not suitable for ultra short electron bunches (i.e. <500 fsFWHM) Wilke et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 88 124801 (2002).

  11. Beamdiagnostic Temporal decoding: • More complex setup • Higher time-resolution sub 50 fs • No frequency mixing • Time resolution: independent of the chirped pulse duration FELIX: e-, 50 MeV, 1.5 mm Berden at al. PRL 11, (2004) Jamison,…, Jaroszynski, Opt. Lett. 18 (2003)

  12. Beamdiagnostic • Thistechniquecould be used to measurealso the protonbunching • Possibleissues: • Placing crystal close to the beam before bending e- beam: large proton beam (up to cm size from Konstantin simulations) can hit the crystal • After bending before electron spectrometer: bunch length may not be preserved

  13. Beamdiagnostic Synchronization: Time jitter of the order of the bunch length Berden at al. PRL 11, (2004)

  14. Beamdiagnostic CTR: shorter bunch length e- beam thin metal foil 2 fs bunch measured at 1 m from source Peak current several kiloAmperes THz CTR: Coherent Transition Radiation Coherent transition radiation spectrum gives bunch length

  15. Electron energy measurements • Designed by Allan Gillespie / Allan MacLeod • (ALPHA-X) • Built by Sigmaphi (France) • Dual function device • High resolution chamber • Resolution – design ~ 0.1% • Electron energy up to 105 MeV (Bmax = 1.65 T) • High energy chamber • Uses upstream quadrupoles to aid focusing • Energy resolution ~0.2 – 10% (energy dependent) • Electron energy up to ~ 660 MeV (Bmax = 1.65 T) • Can be scaled to higher energy and higher resolution

  16. Electron energy measurements • Other possibility: • Indirect measurement using undulator radiation Ce:YAG crystal 300  10  1 mm Wiggins,.., Jaroszynski, Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 52 2010

  17. Conclusions • EO TDS methods possibility for plasma and beam characterization • Improve stability of kHz Ti:sapphire laser to make it suitable for 0.1% plasma density measurements • Use diagnostic system to measure plasma density and determine density to within 0.1% and determine the spatial resolution. • Test EO TDS diagnostic system using the laser plasma wakefield accelerator at Strathclyde to determine temporal resolution (well set up to do this – most equipment exists) • Develop numerical model of diagnostic system to compare with experiments

  18. Conclusions • Theoretical of beam propagation of the emitted CTR • e- and p+beam properties evolve in the beam lines. • Numerical tools are available at Strathclyde to develop a model of the EO-TDS diagnostic system (a PhD student, from a Centre for Doctoral Training at Strathclyde, will be dedicated to the project). • Strathclyde will collaborate with Daresburyteams and other teams on electron beam and plasma diagnostics • Theoretical studies of plasma wakefield accelerator using reduced and PIC codes
