TUP012 | First Measurements of an Electro-Optical Bunch Arrival-Time Monitor Prototype with PCB-Based Pickups for ELBE | 214 |
|
||
Funding: This work is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under Contract No. 05K19RO1 and 05K22RO2. A vacuum sealed prototype of an electro-optical bunch-arrival-time monitor has been commissioned in 2023. It comprises of a pickup-structure and a low-pi-voltage ultra-wideband traveling wave electro-optical modulator. The stainless-steel body of the pickup structure is partially produced by additive manufacturing and comprises four pickups as well as an integrated combination network on a printed circuit board. This novel design aims to enable single-shot bunch-arrival-time measurements for electron beams in free-electron lasers with single-digit fs precision for low bunch charges down to 1 pC. The theoretical jitter charge product has been estimated by simulation and modeling to be in the order of 9 fs pC. The new prototype is tailored for validation experiments at the ELBE accelerator beamline. In this contribution first measurement results are presented. |

WE1C03 | THz Antenna-Coupled Zero-Bias Schottky Diode Detectors for Particle Accelerators | 301 |
|
||
Funding: The work is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under contract no. 05K22RO1 for applications at HZDR, Dresden, LAS at KIT and DELTA at TU Dortmund. Semiconductor-based broadband room-temperature Terahertz (THz) detectors are well suitable for beam diagnosis and alignment at accelerator facilities due to easy handling, compact size, no requirement of cooling, direct detection and robustness. Zero-Bias Schottky Diode (ZBSD) based THz detectors are highly sensitive and extremely fast, enabling the detection of picosecond scale THz pulses. This contribution gives an overview of direct THz detector technologies and applications. The ZBSD detector developed by our group has undergone several tests with table-top THz sources and also characterized with the free-electron laser (FEL) at HZDR Dresden, Germany up to 5.56 THz. In order to understand the rectification mechanism at higher THz frequencies, detector modelling and optimization is essential for a given application. We show parametric analysis of a antenna-coupled ZBSD detector by using 3D electromagnetic field simulation software (CST). The results will be used for optimization and fabrication of next generation ZBSD detectors, which are planned to be commissioned at THz generating FEL accelerator facilities in near future. [1] R.

WEP043 | Upgrade of the ELBE Timing System | 446 |
|
||
The CW electron accelerator ELBE is in operation for more than two decades. The timing system has been patched several times in order to meet changing requirements. In 2019 the development of a new timing system based on Micro Research Finland Hardware has been started which is designed to unify the heterogeneous structure and to replace obsolete components. In spring 2023 the development of the software has been accomplished, which included the mapping of operation mode and different complex beam patterns onto the capabilities of the commercial platform. The system generates complex beam patterns from single pulse, to macro pulse and 26 MHz cw operation including special triggers for diagnostics and machine subsystems. The contribution will describe the path from requirements to development and commissioning of the new timing system at ELBE. | ||
