Electron beam wave accelerators (original) (raw)
An account will be presented describing the present status of electron beam supported wave accelerator research. We shall review the various approaches to collective acceleration using waves on an electron beam, and then focus attention on ion acceleration in space charge waves. We shall describe the results of experiments on nonlinear wave propagation in inhomogeneous guides. Results will also be presented reviewing work on the use of beat waves on electron beams for collective acceleration. In both cases we shall summarize the status of theoretical studies of these acceleration techniques and will indicate direction for future research.

Study on Electron Beam Stabilization in KU-FEL
Stable electron beam is essential for stable FEL operation. In Kyoto University MIR-FEL facility (KU-FEL), a BPM (Beam Position Monitor) system consisting of six 4-button electrode type BPMs was installed for monitoring of the electron beam position. The fluctuation of the electron beam position has been observed in horizontal and vertical directions. The origin of the beam position fluctuation is not clarified. In horizontal direction, the main fluctuation source is expected to be the energy fluctuation. As the one of candidate of the energy fluctuation, the cavity temperature of the RF gun has been suspected because the gun is operated in detuned condition which enhances beam energy dependence on the cavity temperature. Another candidate is the fluctuation of the RF power fed to the gun. The both effects were experimentally investigated. We observed a small fluctuation of the beam energy corresponding the cavity temperature fluctuation. A large fluctuation of the beam energy corresponding the large fluctuation of the RF power was also observed. The large RF power fluctuation was induced by change of temperature of ferrite slabs in the 4-port circulator. A temperature-stabilized water circulation system will be prepared for the ferrite slabs to stabilize the RF power fed to the RF gun.
Laser-Driven Proton Acceleration and Beam-Transport
The Review of Laser Engineering, 2012
Laser-driven proton beam attracts many fields of potential applications because of its peculiar characteristics. However, in order to apply, for example, to the medical application, we need to increase the energy of the proton beam. We have been trying to increasing the energy of the laser-driven proton beam at JAEA. We established the beam transport line by using the beam optics of the conventional accelerator for the laser-driven MeV proton beam and have made beam transport test.
Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED)
Zairyō to kankyō, 1994
Principle and characteristic of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) are described paying to the relations between RHEED patterns and surface morphologies. Some examples indicating the relations are shown. Micro-probe RHEED is also described, in which focused electron beams are used for obtaining crystalline information from surface micro-areas. An in situ observation result of Si thin film growth is shown as an example.
