Abstract

In the framework of the CLIC (Compact Linear Collider) RF power source studies, the scheme of electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication, using injection by RF deflectors into an isochronous ring, will be tested, at low charge, during the preliminary phase of the new CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) at CERN. In this paper, we describe the beam dynamics studies made in order to assess the feasibility of the bunch combination experiment, as well as the related beam measurements performed on the LEP Pre-Injector complex (LPI) before its transformation into CTF3.

Highlights

  • The new CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) [1, 2] is being built at CERN in the LEP Pre-Injector complex (LPI) area

  • The scheme uses electron pulse compression and bunch frequency multiplication based on the combination of electron bunch trains in isochronous rings using RF deflectors for injection

  • The beam dynamics studies for this preliminary phase of CTF3 [5] are described and the related beam measurements performed on the LPI installation are reported

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The new CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) [1, 2] is being built at CERN in the LPI area. The aim of this facility is to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the CLIC RF power source by generating a 30 GHz RF pulse with the CLIC nominal peak power and pulse length [3]. To begin in September 2001, it is planned to test the bunch combination scheme at low charge [4], making use of the existing LPI components. The beam dynamics studies for this preliminary phase of CTF3 [5] are described and the related beam measurements performed on the LPI installation are reported
