Abstract
Incoherent and coherent synchrotron radiation are issues in most new accelerator projects utilizing bunch compressors to increase the peak current of the electron beam. Here we present a systematic approach to design a bunch compressor chicane suitable for the multi-TeV compact linear collider (CLIC). Based on analytical equations and beam dynamics simulations, we discuss how the influence of incoherent and coherent synchrotron radiation on the transverse beam emittance depends on chicane and electron beam parameters. The optimization of the bunch compressor layout and the electron beam parameters results in two different options which preserve the emittance to well within the specifications.
Highlights
The main beam line of the compact linear collider (CLIC) requires two bunch compressors to compress the electron bunches to an rms length of 30 m
In this paper we focus on a systematic study of incoherent synchrotron radiation (ISR) and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR)
It can be argued that the emittance growth induced by CSR should drop for chicanes built of shorter dipoles
Summary
The main beam line of the compact linear collider (CLIC) requires two bunch compressors to compress the electron bunches to an rms length of 30 m. Such short bunches are a prerequisite at the interaction point to attaining the proposed high luminosity [1]. The chicane parameters, whose effects on the performance of the bunch compressor are discussed, are total chicane length Ltot, dipole length LB, momentum compaction factor R56, and dipole position.
