LINAC overviewA LINAC is an accelerator consisting of several subsystems
Gun (particle source)
Accelerating section (and RF sources)
Magnetic system (focussing and steering)
Diagnostics – Vacuum – etc
Depending on the application a LINAC might have
bunch compression system (radiation sources, FELs, colliders)
beam delivery systems (medical linacs, colliders)

AccelerationAcceleration is achieved with RF cavities, using e.m. modes with the electric field pointing in the longitudinal direction (direction of motion of the charged particle)
The RF electric field can be provided by travelling wave structure or standing wave structure

Travelling wave and standing wave structuresThe wave velocity and the particle velocity have to be equal hence we need a disk loaded structure to slow down the phase velocity of the electric field
To achieve synchronism vp< c
Slow down wave using irises.
In a standing wave structure the electromagnetic field is the sum of two travelling wave structure running in opposite directions.
Only the forward travelling wave takes part in the acceleration process

These describe the usual RF bucket in the longitudinal phase space (, W)
We assumed here that the acceleration is adiabatic i.e. ds/ds 0. If this in not true, numerical integration shows that the RF bucket gets distorted into a “golf club”

RF technology
Usual operating frequencies for RF cavities for Linear accelerators are
Warm cavities gradient repetition rate
S-band (3GHz) 15-25 MV/m 50-300 Hz
C-band (5-6 GHz) 30-40 MV/m <100 Hz
X-band (12 GHz) 100 MV/m <100 Hz
Superconducting cavities
L band (1.3 GHz) < 35 MV/m up to CW
The main RF parameters associated to the RF cavity, such as shunt impedance quality factor will be discussed in the Lecture 10 on RF.

Thermionic gun (I)Electrons are generated by thermionic emission from the cathode and accelerated across a high voltage gap to the anode. A grid between anode and cathode can be pulsed to generate a train of pulses suitable for RF acceleration
cathode assemblyBaO/CeO-impregnated tungsten disc is heated
and electrons are emitted
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 3 May 2013
11/29
Thermionic gun (II)Electrons are generated by thermionic emission tend to repel therefore an advance e.m. design is envisaged to control the beam dynamics and reduce the emittance of the beam.
This requires solving Laplace equation for the potential of the e.m. field in the given
geometry
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 3 May 2013
12/29
Photocathode guns (I)
One and half cell RF photocathode gunElectrons are generated with a laser field by photoelectric effect
High voltage at the cathode is delivered by the RF structure
50-60 MV/m in L-band100-140 MV/m in S-band
Higher gradients are useful to accelerate the particle fast and reduce the effect of space charge(scales as 1/E2)
Electron pulses can be made short (as the laser pulse - few ps)

The emittance and the energy spread are determined by the laser parameters and the properties of the cathode material.
The emittance can be tens of times better than in a thermionic guns (< 1 m)

Focussing system in long LINACsIn a long linac we need a magnetic channel to keep the beam focussed in the transverse dimension.
This can be accomplished with a FODO lattice
or with a doublet structure

In a FODO channel the RF cavities are placed in the drift sections.
To create longer straight section a double (or triplet) channel is envisaged.
A doublet channel is a series of pairs of quadrupoles F and D with long drift sections between the pairs. the RF cavities are placed in the drift sections

We can compute in the usual way the phase advance and the optics function for the basic cell, assuming it is repeated periodically

Beam dynamics issues: wakefieldsThe interaction of the charged beam with the RF cavity and the vacuum chamber in general generate e.m. fields which act back on the bunch itself
Dtb
In the RF cavity these fields can build up resonantly and disrupt the bunch itself in the so called single beam break up or multi bunch break up

Bunch Compression (I)
In many applications the length of the bunch generated even by a photo-injector (few ps) is too long. Tens of fs might be required.
The bunch length needs to be shortened. This is usually achieved with a magnetic compression system.
A beam transport line made of four equal dipole with opposite polarity is used to compress the bunch. In this chicane the time of flight (or path length) is different for different energies
This effect can be used to compress the bunch length
blue = low energyred = high energy
The time of flight of the high energy particle is smaller(v c ...but it travel less !)
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 3 May 2013
23/2923/28
Bunch compression (II)To exploit the dependence of the time of flight (or path length) for different energies we need to introduce an energy-time correlation in the bunch.
This is done using the electric field of an RF cavity with as suitable timing
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 13 May 2011
An energy chirp is required for the compression to work
The high energy particle at the tail travels less and catches up the synchronous particle. The net result is a the compression of the bunch

Since the transformation is symplectic (i.e. area preserving Liouville theorem) the longitudinal emittance is conserved

C is the compression factor. It can be a large number!
The minimum reachable bunch length is limited to the product of the energy spread times R56
R. Bartolini, John Adams Institute, 3 May 2013
26/29
Bunch compression (V)Further limitations to the achievable compression comes from the high current effect that we have neglected in the linear approximations.
These are longitudinal space charge, wakefields and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) – more on lecture 7
When taken into account, these effects can produce serious degradation of the beam qualities, e.g in simulations
