Next tests on CLEAR for Diagnostics • Add. Measurements : • Directivity of the radiation • Polarisation distribution of the radiation • Spectrum of the radiation • Measuring at 60 -90 -110 -200 GHz • We did not measure anything at 10 GHz when we tried the metamaterial target • Detection problem or limitation from the target design • How much power do we produce at longer wavelength 10 -30 GHz • Material studies • Replacing Teflon by Alumina / Quartz / Silicon … depending on bunch spectrum • Improved design • Mechanical design : ‘Towards an In-vacuum design’ • Larger aperture system compatible with realistic beam line (from 1 cm to 4 cm aperture) • Detection system (targeting a real application : AWAKE e- BPM ? ) • Avoiding in-air detection – in-waveguide detection scheme avoiding background sources • Optimized electronic detection system • Coupling to RF hybrid providing Delta and Sum signal for BPM applications
Next tests on CLEAR from long CCR targets • Producing the highest output power from Coherent Cherenkov radiation • Do we understand the power we produce with the long conical targets: • Two types : twice in length – twice in diameter – different diameter (maybe retrying with same diameter) • How can we produce more • Smaller aperture ? • Different material ? • Different shape ? • Measuring wakefield induced beam kicks from a long CCR • Tests in vacuum • Need to find another location on CLEAR : e. g. plasma lens or CLIC structure ? • Measuring beam kicks for different tilt angles and offsets in the radiator • Relevant for theoretical consideration and cooling/heating effects
Another test on CLEAR for THz production • Coherent Smith-Purcell • 2 D gratings • 3 D gratings, i. e. grating with sidewalls
Publications strategy (1/2) • Non-invasive beam instrumentation using coherent Cherenkov diffraction radiation • Introduction • Best (non invasive, simpler, more intense, less noise) diagnostic based on Coherent radiation • Bunch Length and beam position measurements • Measurements at CLEAR • Bunch length with comparison RF deflector • Beam position • Simulations using Vsim • Simulations larger aperture • Better design for BPM (@longer wavelength) • Better design for BLM • Novelty : known physic phenomena but new applications for beam instrumentation • Innovation : Compactness / Signal quality / • Applications for short bunches : PWFA / LWFA / DWA / DLA / FEL / Light source / • no energy limitation (accelerators) – very low energy, i. e. electron microscope Journal : Trying PRX - PRA ?
