Description
For pump-probe experiments at free electron lasers, like the European XFEL,
a femtosecond precise bunch arrival time stability is mandatory. The
longitudinal intra bunch-train feedback (L-IBFB) system regulates the
arrival time, measured by a bunch arrival time monitor (BAM), with
femtosecond resolution. Due to the energy dependent path length of the
electron bunches through a magnetic bunch compression chicane, the energy
prior to the chicane is modulated by the superconducting radiofrequency
(SRF) cavities to compensate fast arrival time fluctuations of the bunches
in a train. Measurement results show arrival time stabilities of the
electron bunches below 10 fs (rms), if the longitudinal intra bunch-train
feedback is activated.
