Stability of Resonator Configurations in the Presence of Free-Electron Laser Interactions

Description: The stability of empty resonators (or cold cavities) has been widely studied, and is well understood. Here we consider the stability of symmetric resonator systems when there is a free-electron laser (FEL) interaction present within the cavity. We first construct a linear thick-lens model of the FEL and analytically study the dependence of resonator stability on its geometry. Next, we employ a nonlinear, three-dimensional FEL oscillator code to study the dependence of FEL performance on the cav… more

Highly Effective Polarized Electron Sources Based on Strained Semiconductor Superlattice with Distributed Bragg Reflector

Description: Resonance enhancement of the quantum efficiency of new polarized electron photocathodes based on a short-period strained superlattice structures is reported. The superlattice is a part of an integrated Fabry-Perot optical cavity. We demonstrate that the Fabry-Perot resonator enhances the quantum efficiency by the order of magnitude in the wavelength region of the main polarization maximum. The high structural quality implied by these results points to the very promising application of these pho… more

Soft X-Ray Magnetic Imaging of Focused Ion Beam Lithographically Patterned Fe Thin Films

Description: We illustrate the potential of modifying the magnetic behavior and structural properties of ferromagnetic thin films using focused ion beam 'direct-write' lithography. Patterns inspired by the split-ring resonators often used as components in meta-materials were defined upon 15 nm Fe films using a 30 keV Ga{sup +} focused ion beam at a dose of 2 x 10{sup 16} ions cm{sup -2}. Structural, chemical and magnetic changes to the Fe were studied using transmission soft X-ray microscopy at the ALS, Ber… more

Electrical configuration for magnetic drift pumping on the tandem mirror experiment-upgrade (TMX-U)

Description: Magnetic drift pumping on TMX-U involves driving four antennae through high Q-resonant circuits. One of the key elements in the resonant circuit is a variable inductor able to carry the 3500 amperes through the circuit and maintain its shape and inductance. The eight resonant circuits can be combined to feed the four antennae with one or two frequencies on each antenna, or frequency shift keying between two frequencies. Each resonant circuit is fed by two 10 to 30 kHz exciters capable of delive… more

Superconducting traveling wave accelerators

Description: This note considers the applicability of superconductivity to traveling wave accelerators. Unlike CW operation of a superconducting standing wave or circulating wave accelerator section, which requires improvement factors (superconductor conductivity divided by copper conductivity) of about 10/sup 6/ in order to be of practical use, a SUperconducting TRaveling wave Accelerator, SUTRA, operating in the pulsed mode requires improvement factors as low as about 10/sup 3/, which are attainable with … more

Design of ferrite-tuned accelerator cavities using perpendicular-biased high-Q ferrites

Description: Microwave ferrites with dc bias fields perpendicular to the rf fields exhibit magnetic and dielectric quality factors 1 order of magnitude above that of ferrites used in ferrite-tuned synchrotron accelerating cavities built in the past. For the LAMPF II project, these ferrites appear to allow the design of synchrotron cavities with high gap voltages and high efficiency. A simple coaxial quarter-wave-resonator geometry, first considered only as a model for preliminary studies, turned out to be a… more

Some aspects of superconducting accelerator design

Description: The performance of an accelerator can be characterized by the efficiency with which electrical energy, the minimumm energy needed to generate a given beam voltage. The current accelerator improvement program at SLAC aims at raising the beam voltage to 50 GV which will use 240 klystrons each capable of producing a pulse 5 ..mu..s in length at a peak power of 36 MW. The Linear Collider requires 50 MW klystrons to achieve 60 GV which will raise the concomittant power consumption to 32.3 MW. We sho… more

RF cavity development for the PEP-II B factory

Description: This paper describes the development of an RF cavity design for the proposed PEP-II asymmetric B factory. The high luminosity required of PEP-II provides challenges in the design of the RF cavities, most notably in the reduced higher-order mode (HOM) impedances that must be attained and in the power that must be dissipated in the cavity walls. This paper outlines the goals set in these regards, describes how the cavity has been developed to meet them, and presents the results of measurements on… more

Hole Coupling Resonator for Free Electron Lasers

Description: The performance of two mirror resonators with holes for output coupling is studied for free electron laser application using a Fox-Li type code. The mode profiles inside and outside the cavity, the diffraction losses at the mirror edges and apertures, the amount of useful power coupled through the hole, e.t.c., are calculated for the dominant mode for different hole and mirror dimensions. It is found that resonators in near concenoic geometry can develop a mode degeneracy in certain cases, whic… more

LDRD final report on using chaos for ultrasensitive coherent signal detection.

Description: A quantum optical approach is proposed and analyzed as a solution to the problem of detecting weak coherent radiation in the presence of a strong incoherent background. The approach is based on the extreme sensitivity of laser dynamical nonlinearities to the coherence of external perturbation. This sensitivity leads to dynamical phase transitions that may be employed for detecting the presence of external coherent radiation. Of particular interest are the transitions between stable and chaotic … more

User's guide for New ABCI version 6. 2: Azimuthal Beam Cavity Interaction

Description: ABCI described here is a computer program which solves the Maxwell equations directly in the time domain when a Gaussian beam goes through an axi-symmetrical structure on or off axis. Many new features have been implemented in this version of ABCI, including the moving mesh'' and Napoly's method of calculation of wake potentials. The mesh is now generated only for the part of the structure inside a window, and moves together with the window frame. This moving mesh option drastically reduces the… more

Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics for Computer Modeling of Nanomechanical Systems

Description: Unique challenges for computer modeling and simulation arise in the course of the development and design of nanoscale mechanical systems. Materials often exhibit unconventional behavior at the nanoscale that can affect device operation and failure. This uncertainty poses a problem because of the limited experimental characterization at these ultra-small length scales. In this Article we give an overview of how we have used concurrent multiscale modeling techniques to address some of these issue… more

A Drabkin energy filter for experiments at a spallation neutron source.

Description: We present a new approach for dynamic monochromatization of neutrons suitable for time-of-flight experiments at spallation neutron sources. The method requires polarized neutrons and is based on the Drabkin energy filter. In its initial application, this magnetic resonator device, consisting of a polarizer/analyzer system and a wavelength-dependent spin flipper, was proposed for extracting a narrow bandwidth from a broad bandwidth polarized neutron beam. At a spallation neutron source, waveleng… more
