Longitudinal electron-beam diagnostics play a critical role in the operation and control of x-ray free-electron lasers, which rely on parameters such as current profile, longitudinal phase space, or slice emittance particle distribution. On one hand, femtosecond-scale electron bunches produced at these facilities impose stringent requirements resolution achievable with diagnostics. other, research development novel accelerator technologies beam-driven plasma-wakefield accelerators (PWFA)...
A collaboration between DESY, PSI and CERN has developed built an advanced modular X-band transverse deflection structure (TDS) system with the new feature of providing variable polarization deflecting force. The prototype novel TDS, polarizable (PolariX) was fabricated at following high-precision tuning-free production process for C-band Linac SwissFEL project. Bead-pull rf measurements were also performed to verify, in particular, that dipole fields does not have any rotation along...
