Ultracold atom-based electron sources have recently been proposed as an alternative to the conventional photo-injectors or thermionic electron guns widely used in modern particle accelerators. The advantages of ultracold atom-based electron sources lie in the fact that the electrons extracted from the plasma (created from near threshold photo-ionization of ultracold atoms) have a very low temperature, i.e. down to tens of Kelvin. Extraction of these electrons has the potential for producing very low emittance electron bunches. These features are crucial for the next generation of particle accelerators, including free electron lasers, plasma-based accelerators and future linear colliders. The source also has many potential direct applications, including ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) and electron microscopy, due to its intrinsically high coherence. In this paper, the basic mechanism of ultracold electron beam production is discussed and our new research facility for an ultracold, low emittance electron source is introduced. This source is based on a novel alternating current Magneto-Optical Trap (the AC-MOT). Detailed simulations for a proposed extraction system have shown that for a 1 pC bunch charge, a beam emittance of 0.35 mm mrad is obtainable, with a bunch length of 3 mm and energy spread 1 %.

Proposed fourth generation light sources using SASE FELs to generate short pulse, coherent, X-rays require demonstration of high brightness electron sources. The Gun Test Facility (GTF) at SLAC was built to test high brightness sources for the propos ed Linac Coherent Light Source at SLAC. The transverse emittance measurements are made at nearly 30 MeV by measuring the spot size on a YAG screen using the quadrupole scan technique. The emittance was measured to vary from 1 to 3.5 mm-mrad as the charge is increased from 50 to 350 pC using a laser pulse width of 2 ps FWHM. The measurements are in good agreement with simulation results using the LANL version of PARMELA.
We investigate beam loading and emittance preservation for a high-charge electron beam being accelerated in quasi-linear plasma wakefields driven by a short proton beam. The structure of the studied wakefields are similar to those of a long, modulate d proton beam, such as the AWAKE proton driver. We show that by properly choosing the electron beam parameters and exploiting two well known effects, beam loading of the wakefield and full blow out of plasma electrons by the accelerated beam, the electron beam can gain large amounts of energy with a narrow final energy spread (%-level) and without significant emittance growth.

Flat beams feature unequal emittances in the horizontal and vertical phase space. Those beams were created successfully in lepton machines. Although a number of applications will profit also from flat hadron beams, to our knowledge they have never be en created systematically. Multi-turn injection schemes, spectrometers, and colliders will directly benefit from those beams. The present paper covers the preparation of the experimental proof of principle for flat hadron beam creation in a beam transport section. Detailed simulations of the experiment, based on charge state stripping inside of a solenoid [L. Groening, Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 14, 064201 (2011)], are performed. The matrix formalism was benchmarked with tracking through three-dimensional magnetic field maps of solenoids. An error analysis targeting at investigation of the impact of machine errors on the round-to-flat beam transformation has been performed. The remarkable flexibility of the set-up w.r.t. decoupling is addressed, as it can provide an one-knob tool to set the horizontal and vertical emittance partitioning. Finally, the status of hardware design and production is given.

In the lattice designs for the next generation storage ring light sources, longitudinal gradient bending magnets and anti-bending magnets have been adopted. A logical question raised by the trend of varying the longitudinal distribution of dipole str ength is: what are the optimal distributions of the dipole and quadrupole fields in a lattice cell for the purpose of minimizing the natural emittance? We studied this problem by numerically optimizing the dipole and quadrupole distributions of the normalized cell optics using the particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results reveal the features of the longitudinal field variation of the optimized cell and show that when the quadrupole gradient is increased enough, the cell tends to split into two identical cells with similar features.

Ionization injection triggered by short wavelength laser pulses inside a nonlinear wakefield driven by a longer wavelength laser is examined via multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. We find that very bright electron beams can be generated through this two-color scheme in either collinear propagating or transverse colliding geometry. For a fixed laser intensity $I$, lasers with longer/shorter wavelength $lambda$ have larger/smaller ponderomotive potential ($propto I lambda^2$). The two color scheme utilizes this property to separate the injection process from the wakefield excitation process. Very strong wakes can be generated at relatively low laser intensities by using a longer wavelength laser driver (e.g. a $10 micrometer$ CO$_2$ laser) due to its very large ponderomotive potential. On the other hand, short wavelength laser can produce electrons with very small residual momenta ($p_perpsim a_0sim sqrt{I}lambda$) inside the wake, leading to electron beams with very small normalized emittances (tens of $ anometer$). Using particle-in-cell simulations we show that a $sim10 femtosecond$ electron beam with $sim4 picocoulomb$ of charge and a normalized emittance of $sim 50 anometer$ can be generated by combining a 10 $micrometer $ driving laser with a 400 $ anometer$ injection laser, which is an improvement of more than one order of magnitude compared to the typical results obtained when a single wavelength laser used for both the wake formation and ionization injection.
