solutions / pictures “We physicists love simple problems. So much so that our immediate reaction to complex puzzles is to keep staring at them until some simple picture suggests itself.” [T. Mcleish, August issue of Physics Today] I have been staring at photoinjector dynamics for a few years. Here I will share what I have seen so far. (a luxury for beam physics.)
Motivation: high-brightness photoinjectors are critical (examples) • X-ray FELs • ERL-based 4th generation light sources • Others: ERL-based electron cooling of RHIC, ILC, … Impact on ERL upgrade at APS [Borland et al. whitepaper on ERL] Impact on a 1.5 A SASE FEL [Kim et al. whitepaper on bright e-beam, ANL/APS/LS-305] 0.1mm 0.3mm LCLS 1mm APS XFEL-O demands 0.1mm @ 40pC, 1MHz [Kim et al.

Emittance compensation --- Simulation codes • Simulation are the workhorse for design • Envelope-equation based code HOMYDN[M. Ferrario, INFN] • Particle tracking codes ASTRA[K.Floetmann, DESY], PARMEALA[LANL], IMPACT-T[J. Qiang, LBNL], GPT[commercial code], TREDI, BEAMPATH, … • Code comparison [C. Limborg et. al., PAC03, 3548 (2003)] • Multi-objective optimization with parallelized particle tracking [I.V. Bazarov et. al., PR ST-AB 8, 034202 (2005)] • Need to combine particle tracking, envelop analysis, and theory It is important but not easy to analyze and quantify the limitations to beam brightness in a design simulation
High-brightness photoinjector dynamics are complex • Rapid acceleration from rest to relativistic • important to overcome space-charge effects • Space-charge-dominated to emittance-dominated • nonlinear space-charge force depends on details of bunch shape/laser pulse • emittance compensation is critical to overcome emittance blowup due to linear space-charge force (and more) • image-charge force near cathodes is significant • Time-dependent rf force (acceleration and focusing) • ponderomotive focusing is important and has chromatic effects • certain defocusing close to cathode • rf curvature creates nonlinearity and limits bunch length • Solenoid focusing with large fringe field • main knob for emittance compensation, chromatic effect is significant • Intrinsically nonlinear problems • forces are nonlinear, especially space-charge force • envelope equations are nonlinear,even for linear forces
Hamiltonian suitable for perturbative analysis (I) [Wang, PRE74 (2006)] • Starting with • Required features • suitable for perturbation • allow rapid acceleration from non-relativistic to relativistic • mostly decoupled / solvable form • Coordinate systems • use derivations from reference particle as dynamical variables for perturbation • use s as the explicit independent variable for convenience, but still use time t as implicit independent variable for calculating space-charge forces, and thus use (z, p ) instead of (t, -E) as longitudinal variables • use reduced-coordinates to decouple (x, px) etc. z
Hamiltonian suitable for perturbative analysis (II) • Linear Hamiltonian • 3rd order Hamiltonian The effects of this chromatic term is significant
Linear forces and linear Hamiltonian • TM01 rf field • Solenoid field • Average space-charge field • Linear Hamiltonian 0 in Larmor frame

Envelope equation, beam emittance envelope emittance linearity bunch emittance envelope equation px x Not a quadratic sum with thermal emittance
Beam envelope equation In high-brightness photoinjectors, electrons behave as laminar flow in both longitudinal and transverse planes. Thus, a bunch can be treated as many individual slices, each follows its own envelope equation.[Serafini & Rosenzweig (1997)] • b-function of time-dependent harmonic oscillator • Beam envelope equation governing (linear) transverse beam dynamics • self-consistent space-charge force is built into this equation • coefficients are rapidly changing • coefficients are slice-dependent, especially the perveance • nonlinear, nonautonomous ODE, notoriously hard to solve analytically • Emittance is very difficult to handle analytically
Invariant-envelope/equilibrium solution: generalized Brillouin flow • Invariant-envelope [Serafini & Rosenzweig (1997); Wang (2006)] • Envelope Hamiltonian • “Laminarity parameters” • Transition energy 0 0 a practical matching condition min @ . . . 2 > 10
Small envelope oscillations around equilibrium • Equation of motion for small oscillation • Propagation of small deviations ( ) Independent of slice perveance! asg [Rosenzweig & Serafini, PRE49,1599 (1995)] ,
Emittance evolution around equilibrium in a booster • Emittance evolution • Final emittance 0 booster entrance the reality is more complicated
Shortcomings of invariant-envelope theory • Emittance evolution far from equilibrium in the gun • no equilibrium at all in the gun (everything is time-dependent) and in the following drift space (no focusing) • envelopes are far away from equilibrium • lack of criteria for emittance compensation (despite the matching condition) • practical designs rely on simulations (with handwaving theory) • general perturbation theory and new compensation criteria • Transition from space-charge regime to the thermal regime • space-charge-dominated theory isn’t enough • no equilibrium solution away from space-charge regime (inadequate focusing) • perturbative solution around invariant envelope diverges • nonlinear effects are significant • universal envelope equation and emittance evolution during transition [C.-x. Wang, K.-J. Kim, M. Ferrario, A. Wang, PRST-AB (2007)] [C.-x. Wang, PRST-AB (2009)]
Envelope equation for general perturbative treatment Using small deviations to reorganize the envelop equation as
Perturbative envelope solution • To the first-order in small deviations, the envelope equation reduces to a simple inhomogeneous first-order ODE: • General solution for envelope deviations: • For the reference envelope • General envelope solution
First-order driving terms • Space-charge effect: perveance deviations among slices • Chromatic effect: [Wang, PRE74 (2006)] s[m] space-charge space-charge chromatic chromatic slice# (s-dependence) (slice-dependence)
Emittance evolution • Effects of the first-order driving terms w/ chrom e [mm] w/ s.c. s[m]
= Emittance computation formula • Hard to analytically compute • Assuming a general linear expansion & uncorrelated variations • Emittance can be computed as
residuals absorbed into s ,s’ 0 0 Emittance compensation – removal of slice-dependent effects • Estimation of driving term contributions (w/ major approximation) • Envelope expansion reduces to • Emittance can be approximated as = 0 to remove slice-dependent emittance growth
Emittance compensation criteria from cathode to booster • Criteria to minimize emittance growth from slice-dependent effects • Equivalent conditions • Equivalent integral form • It is surprisingly good = 0 booster entrance booster entrance
Emittance compensation inside booster / linac • Transition from space-charge regime to thermal regime • common to most high-brightness beam, but not well studied • invariant-envelope theory is limited to space-charge regime • intrinsic nonlinearity is significant and very hard to treat • magnetized beam can cross the transition at low energy • Some obvious questions • what happens to the invariant-envelope solution? • how restrictive is the matching condition (phase-space acceptance)? • is it possible to preserve the emittance across the transition? • any criteria besides matching to the invariant-envelope? • Recent findings: • universal envelope equation • solution of invariant-envelope across the transition • emittance formula that correctly includes thermal emittance
w/ const. focusing Universal beam envelope equation in axisymmetric linac • Scaled energy (by the transition energy) as independent variable • energy increases monotonically in linac • Scaled envelope (by the invariant envelope) as dependent variable • Envelope equation reduces to • Under linear acceleration with focusing
