High brightness high-repetition rate (MHz-class) electron source for European free-electron lasers (FELs) upgrade program is under design at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). A normal-conducting (NC) cavity resonating in the VHF band at 216.7 MHz operating in continuous wave (cw) mode is chosen as the backup candidate. The preliminary design studies of the NC cw RF...

As is well known, coherent emission of radiation from ultrarelativistic electron bunches takes place when the duration of the bunches is shorter than the radiation wavelength. In this case, the contributions to the field from all electrons sum up in phase, and the output intensity scales as the square number of electrons in the bunch. In this work, we consider the particular case of coherent...

The beam dynamics in a particle accelerator are influenced by its impedances. In particular at high charge densities, the production of coherent synchrotron radiation is governed by the longitudinal impedance. With Inovesa, an in-house developed simulation tool, it is possible to simulate the dynamics of the longitudinal phase space density inside a storage ring by solving the...

The operation of synchrotron light sources with short electron bunches increases the emitted coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) power in the THz frequency range. However, the spatial compression leads to complex longitudinal dynamics, causing the formation of micro-structures in the longitudinal bunch profiles. The fast temporal variation and small scale of these micro-structures put...

At the KIT storage ring KARA (KArlsruhe Research Accelerator), the momentum compaction factor can be reduced leading to natural bunch lengths in the ps range. Due to the high degree of longitudinal compression, the micro-bunching instability arises.
During this longitudinal instability, the bunches emit bursts of intense coherent synchrotron radiation in the THz frequency range caused by...

The application of Laser Wakefield Accelerators (LWFA) is a potential key for realizing extremely compact Free Electron Lasers (FEL) due to an unprecedented high longitudinal electric field inside the laser-driven plasma wave. LWFA-based electron beams exhibit challenging initial conditions in terms of beam divergence and large energy spread. The superconducting transverse gradient undulator...

Different options for proving intense THz filed for THz pump - X-ray probe experiments at the European XFEL using laser-based and/or accelerator-based techniques are currently discussed. Here we present a concept which is based on a superconducting THz undulator utilizing the spent electron beam of the eV scale linac as an afterburner to produce narrowband, tunable, few-cycle THz pulses with...

The photon flux of superradiant THz undulator emission is calculated from the square modulus of electron-bunch form factors and single-particle spectra with a start-to-end simulation. In this presentation, we will report some preliminary results for boosting THz pulse energies assuming specific ideal model bunch forms for the case of the TELBE facility and an envisioned future THz afterburner...

The accelerators of FLASH and of the European XFEL deliver electron bunches in bursts of several hundred pulses with MHz repetition rates every 100ms. These bunches are distributed between different undulator beamlines to generate FEL pulses with few to hundred femtoseconds temporal width in the soft to hard x-ray regime. To run these high repetition rate FELs a large number of different fast...

Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFA) feature electron bunch durations on a scale of a few fs. Precise knowledge of the longitudinal profile of such ultra-short electron bunches is essential for the design of future table-top X-ray light sources. The resolution limit, as well as the limited reproducibility of electron bunches, pose big challenges for LWFA beam diagnostics.
