The work presented at the working group VII: Beam Generation, Conditioning and Monitoring, is briefly summarized in this report. The challenges of the working group VII is to produce and preserve the high-brightness electron beam suitable for future second generation laser and other advanced accelerators. Topics presented in the working group covered wide range of subjects; facilities for high-intensity beam physics and X-ray generation, highbrightness femto-second beam generation, coherent transition radiation (CSR) and micro-bunch instability in the magnetic chicane bunch compressor, beam instrumentation for both transverse and longitudinal phase space characterization are the major topics discussed in the working group. INTRODUCTION The challenges of the working group VII of the 10th advanced accelerator concepts workshop (AAC) is to examine the latest development in high-brightness beam generation, conditioning and monitoring, and discuss the critical issues for future R&D. We will present a brief summary of the talks presented at the working group VII in this report. Due to large number of talks presented, it is almost impossible to cover all subject discussed, we apology for those colleagues whose work we could not comment on. The presentation and discussion in the working group VII covered quit wide range of topics; there are total 26 talks from 10 institutions presented in our working group sessions. Large number of talk presented in our group came from graduate students (about one third of the total talks). We also held joint session with three other working groups on special subjects. With computational accelerator physics group (group I), a joint session on simulation techniques for particle sources was held. A session on exotic beam generation, such as positron and proton generation from laser plasma interaction, muon cooling etc, was jointly sponsored with High Energy Density Physics & Exotic Acceleration Schemes group (group II). A dedicated session on the injectors for the second-generation plasma accelerator was held with Laser-Plasma CP647, Advanced Accelerator Concepts: Tenth Workshop, edited by C. E. Clayton and P. Muggli © 2002 American Institute of Physics 0-7354-0102-0/02/$19.00 175 Acceleration group (group VI). Here is the brief list of the subjects presented in our working group: High intensity beam physics High-brightness electron beam generation. Magnetic bunch compressor and CSR. Surface roughness wake field. Femto-second bunch length and timing jitter measurement techniques. Electron beam and laser beam control (shaping). Beam instrumentation. Femto-seconds kilo-ampere bunch generation from photoinjector. HIGH-BRIGHTNESS ELECTRON SOURCES With the successful demonstration of the all basic laser plasma acceleration schemes, improvement of the efficiency and quality of laser accelerators now become more urgent [1]. It was generally recognize that, electron beam with 108 particles, normalize emittance less than 1 mm-mrad and bunch length less than 50 fs (FWHM) is required for the so call second-generation laser accelerators [2]. There are many proposals around to produce such electron beam. Inverse FreeElectron Laser (IFEL) is the only technique has experimentally demonstrated that, it can produce microbunched electron beam for another IFEL laser accelerator [3,4]. Since IFEL only produce a train of microbunched electron beam, it lacks the flexibility and transverse beam quality for other laser accelerators. It will be very instructive to look back the history when we explore the new technologies for producing femto-second, kilo-Ampere high-brightness electron beam for laser accelerator applications. The introduction of the photocathode RF gun twenty years ago [5] brought at least two orders of magnitude improvement in electron beam brightness. This improvement comes from two aspects. Higher field gradient on the cathode and terminal beam energy is one of them. Field gradient for a traditional thermionic gun is about 1 to 10 MV/m and beam energy less than 500 KeV. The Sband RF gun has a field gradient of 100 MV/m and beam energy about 5 MeV. The factor of ten improvements in field gradient and energy is critical in space-charge effect reduction. And it leads to the second factor in beam brightness improvement, that is, electron pulse length shortened from ns to ps, and peak current from 10 Ampere to 100 Ampere. We are now facing the similar challenges to produce femtoseconds electron beam for the second-generation laser accelerators, that is, we need an order of magnitude improvement in both field gradient and energy for the next generation electron sources for femto-second kilo-Ampere electron beam generation. Further more, transverse emittance and energy spread must also be small in order to preserve the femto-second electron beam. For example, for a 5 MeV electron beam with 10 mrad divergence and 1% energy spread, after 1 meter drift space, the bunch length increments due to the divergence and energy spread both are about 333 fs. Pulsed DC gun [6-7] and optical plasma injectors [8-11] offer the possibility of producing femto-second high-brightness electron beam directly with peak acceleration 176 field on the order of GV/m. Even with relative high field gradient, most pulse DC gun can only produce a electron beam with energy 10 MeV or less (with RF boost cavity, 10 MeV is the possibility), this makes it extremely difficult to preserve electron beam bunch length shorter than 100 fs. The controversies around the optical plasma injector continue exist due to the lack of experimental data on the beam characterization. Pitthan of SLAC and Fubiani of LBNL presented extensive analysis and simulation of the optical plasma injectors. Their analysis showed that, the large energy spread of electron beam produced by the optical plasma injector is the major cause of bunch lengthening and emittance growth. M.C. Thompson of UCLA presented simulation studies of possible high-brightness electron source using plasma density transition trapping [12]. Table I summarized possible beam parameter can be produced using this technique. Table I: UCLA plasma density transition trapping electron source.

Wang of BNL gave an overview of the status of the photoinjector R&D [13]. The challenge of photoinjector R&D is to continue improving the beam performance with the reliability and stability required for advanced accelerators and FEL applications. One of the key capability of the photoinjector is that, it can be not only optimized for transverse emittance, but also it can be optimized for longitudinal emittance. The worldwide R&D effort in high-brightness CW photoinjector emerged [14] after the triumph of energy recovery linac (ERL) at the JLAB [15]. The challenges for CW photoinjector are brightness of the electron beam and heat load for both cavity and laser system [14]. Court Bohn of N. Illinois Univ. updated the latest development of the flat beam experiment at the FERMILAB AO [16]. A transverse emittance ratio of approximately 50 was measured. One of the most promising techniques capable of generating the electron beam satisfy the above requirements is so call longitudinal emittance compensation technique and off crest acceleration in the energy boost linac followed the photocathode RF gun [17-18]. A 20 pC electron beam is produced by a 8 ps (FWHM) frequency quadrupled Nd:YAG laser from a photocathode RF gun injector operating at the longitudinal emittance compensation mode. The measured electron beam bunch length at the RF gun exit is about 800 fs(rms), it is further compressed using RF focusing in the 3 meter long linac down to 10 fs (rms) (fig.l). By adding a focusing solenoid magnet in the middle of the energy boost linac, the emittance can be kept to 177 0.5 mm-mrad. By 0.5 mm-mrad. By lunching lunching the the electron electron beam beam at at the the low low RF RF gun gun phase phase at at aa field field of of 100 100 MV/m, we we not MV/m, not only only compress compress the the electron electron beam beam in in the the RF RF gun, gun, but but also also chirp chirp the the electron beam in electron beam in such such way way we we can can further further compress compress the the beam beam in in downstream downstream drift drift space space and and linac. linac.

HIGH-INTENSITY HIGH-INTENSITY BEAM BEAM PHYSICS PHYSICS Collective Collective effect effect of of the the high-intensity high-intensity beam beam plays plays fundamental fundamental role role in in many many accelerator applications, from electron and ion sources, nuclear fusion to high-energy accelerator applications, from electron and ion sources, nuclear fusion to high-energy colliders. colliders.

Bishofberger of UCLA gave a presentation of his thesis research at FERMILAB on the Tevatron electron lens, which is critical for reducing the space-charge effect of the proton and anti-proton beams, and increase the luminosity of the Tevatron. W. Brown of LLNL discussed a high-brightness electron beam facility now under commissioning at the LLNL for Thomson X-ray source. One of the hot topics discussed in our group is the CSR effect of electron beam during the magnetic bunch compression. Magnetic compressor now is the standard technique to produce short electron beam for many applications, from eV linear collider, X-ray FEL to injector for laser accelerators. There are two effects may play important role when considering the magnetic compressor, one is the non-linearity, from both the RF and beam transport line, and other is CSR. Recent experimental results of magnetic bunch compressors from CERN CLIC, DESY TTF, LEUTL OF ANL, and SDL OF BNL re-discovered of the importance of reduction in RF nonlinearity. Latest design of LCLS and TESAL FEL bunch compressors incorporated higher-harmonic RF cavity to minimize the beam break-up. CSR effect is known lead to emittance growth due to the residue dispersion for many years [19]. Latest theory and simulation predict electron beam microbunching due to the klystron like interaction of the CSR effect [20-23]. One of the proposed techniques to suppress the CSR effect is to artificially introduce energy spread using the undulator. H. Loos of the Brookhaven DUV-FEL facility (fig.2) and J.B. Rosenzweig of UCLA presented latest experimental results of beam break-up in both transverse and longitudinal phase space of electron beam during the bunch compression. UCLA experimental was performed at the relative low energy (11 MeV), transverse phase bifurcation was observed due to the space-charge effect. 179 50m 50 50 m m NISUS NISUS 10m 10m Ben Ben Coherent Coherent IR IR Undulator Undulator Bunch Bunch compressor compressor Ben Ben Linac Linac 75 75 Dum Dum Dum Time Time domain domain Dum Dum 1.6 cell cell gun gun 1.6 1.6 cell gun Iwith copper with with copper copper cathode cathode cathode 210 210 MeV MeV 55 30 30 mJ, mJ, 100 100 fs fs Ti:Sapphire Ti:Sapphire FIGURE facility the BNL.
