Neptune Dogleg Compressor S-Bahn Compressor • S-Bahn is a “dogleg” or dispersionless translating section. • Half-chicane with focusing elements between the bends. • Can be operated in a nondispersive mode with symmetric beta function and 2π betatron advance. • Like a chicane, may be used as a bunch-length compressor. • Nominal first order temporal dispersion (R 56=-5 cm) is suitable for beam-shaping.

Conclusions • PWFA drive issues: ramped profile, strong focus, high charge • Ramped profile: - improved transformer ratio (R > 2) - feasible using dogleg compression with sextupoles - deflecting cavity diagnostic (50 fs resolution) • Strong focus: - traditional EM quads + permanent magnet quadrupoles - adequate emittance and brightness (~ 100 µm, 450 m. A/µm 2 @ 300 p. C) • High Charge: - scaling to high charge (~4 n. C) at Neptune has some dilemmas - tradeoff between optimal profile and good emittance - extra sextupoles and octupoles may be required - beam sizes become bigger than the beam pipes - implies complete or partial redesign of the compressor
