Long-Pulse Induction Linacs
LANL and LBNL (with LLNL) collaborated on DARHT-2 accelerator.
DARHT-1 was thoroughly designed and tested at ITS (only experimental demonstration of the centrifugal space-charge force)
DARHT-2 was on a faster schedule THOR test facility with DARHT-2 cell

Short design effort on DARHT-2 – long turn on
There was a lot of new engineering for DARHT-2, but also unpredicted beam physics

Simulations
LBNL – AMBER (Fawley and Vay)MRC – SPROP (Hughes)LANL – SLICE (Carlsten)
All codes used equivalent physics – Gauss law for radial electric field, Ampere’s law for diamagnetic field, some other features
Typically saw remarkable emittance decrease of about a factor of 10 (1000 mircons down to 150 microns) – very unique and interesting beam physics

Beam Physics We Want To Understand Today
1. Why does the emittance oscillate?
2. Why is there a gradual emittance decrease?
3. What causes these final stable oscillations?

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?
Initial nonlinearities come from:Anode holeMagnetic field nonlinearitiesDensity non-uniformity
Spherical aberration from anode hole acerbated by beam
Without beam With beam
Minor hollowing of beam density
Nonlinearities in initial phase space, minor wavebreaking
These two set the initial conditions on beam oscillations

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?Beam wants to oscillate about a stationary state
Stationary state in space-charge dominated regime has uniform density – a non-uniform beam (zero emittance) will oscillate between a hollow and a peaked distribution. Below is phase space and density at first emittance maximum:

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?The excess free energy (above the minimum needed for the stationary state) is left over to make the emittance. We can calculate the excess free energy by calculating the beam energy and subtracting the beam energy of the stationary state, using Reiser’s prescription for nonlinear free energy:

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?These oscillations are same mechanism as emittance compensation, but with radial variations instead of axial variations:
“Thin lens” compensation

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?Emittance compensation in a drift show wavebreaking also:
Focusing lens at 28 cm
These particles dominate the final emittance

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?S&R used a Cauchy transform to extend this to an accelerating beam:
where:
Worth pointing out this solution is substantially different. There are oscillating terms, but also now a constant acceleration term in the slice divergence. S&R addresses this with an “invariant envelope” trajectory.
C&P identified that rf focusing at the cathode provides control of and , which help line up the phase space ellipses.

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?If we keep the next order, we can predict when the phase space oscillations get out of phase:

1. Why Does the Emittance Oscillate?Boersch effect is very slow (thermalization due to Coulomb scattering), emittance growth of ~ 100 microns over 1 km at 5 MeV, 4 kA:

Wavebreaking can also lead to thermalization (Reiser talks about wavebreaking in ¼ betatron period). Not true for low-emittance electron beams, wavebreaking occurs when a beam is focused if the charge density drops to < ½ of the average charge density within that point (Oscar Anderson). We can equivalently equate an emittance that is needed for particles to overcome the potential barrier of the beam and wavebreak:
/)/(2 Aedgebw IIr
For a 4-kA, 4-MeV beam, this is about 10000 microns. For a 1-GeV, 100-mA, 1-mm radius H beam, this is about 0.1 micron.

2. Why is There a Gradual Emittance Decrease?The initial phase space curvature is not consistent with the initial beam density profile (doesn’t become flat). We can fix that with nonlinear forces in intense beams:

For a uniform density beam, radial variation in diamagnetic field cancels (to first order) change in potential depression
This is the dominant nonlinear term, tailor beam focusing to work out phase space nonlinear “kink”
We are defining divergences relative to the axial velocity on axis (r=0)

2. Why is There a Gradual Emittance Decrease?So we adjust the magnetic field profile to use the nonlinear focusing to straighten out the phase space as the beam is accelerated to 16 MeV

3. What Causes the Final Stable Emittance Oscillations?There is a beam halo from periodic wavebreaking (from every radial bounce in). Halo particles are emittance dominated with an oscillation wavenumber half the space-charge oscillation of the core:
32.78 m53.7 micron
33.40 m85.1 micron
34.03 m102.8 micron
34.67 m98.54 micron
35.30 m53.98 micron
Minimum emittance occurs when the two distributions are lined up (2:1 resonance).
There is a minor trade between the focusing and minimizing the beam halo.

3. What Causes the Final Stable Emittance Oscillations?In principle, we can design a magnetic field match that leads to a nice radial profile spiraling into the axis (not oscillating) and get rid of the emittance oscillations. Let’s assume the beam is emittance dominated:

3. What Causes the Final Stable Emittance Oscillations?Using the matched solution, we can squeeze the beam to get the necessary conditions into the field profile (angle in phase space), entire beam is emittance dominated:
Final emittance drops to about 40 microns (10 microns rms!)
Comparison: thermal emittance is 50 microns from a 0.1 eV temperature, 8-inch cathode

Final Comments
• Non-thermalized beam preserves structure remarkably long
• Provides significant capability to tailor phase space using variety of nonlinear effects
• Insufficient diagnostics to measure these emittance
• Emittance dominated by downstream transport and bunch slicing
