Frequency map analysis was first used for the dynamical study of numerical simulations of physical systems (solar system, galaxies, particle accelerators). Here it is applied directly to the experimental results obtained at the Advanced Light Source. For the first time, the network of coupling resonances is clearly visible in an experiment, in a similar way as in the numerical simulation. Excellent agreement between numerical and experimental results leads us to propose this technique as a tool for improving numerical models and actual behavior of particle accelerators. Moreover, it provides a model-independent diagnostic for the evaluation of the dynamical properties of the beam.
We present the first high resolution (10(-3) cm(-1)) interferometric measurements in the 200-750 GHz range using coherent synchrotron radiation, achieved with a low momentum compaction factor. The effect of microbunching on spectra is shown, depending on the bunch current. A high signal-to-noise ratio is reached thanks to an artifact correction system based on a double detection scheme. Combined to the broad emitted spectral range and high flux (up to 10(5) times the incoherent radiation), this study demonstrates that coherent synchrotron radiation can now be used for stability-demanding applications, such as gas-phase studies of unstable molecules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
