Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 12, 020101 (2009) [9 pages]Time-dependent phase-space characterization of intense charged particle beams
Knowledge of the three-dimensional structure of a charged particle beam bunch is essential for understanding its evolution and for initializing computer simulations, especially when space charge is involved. This paper presents a novel experimental method for time-sliced mapping of the transverse phase space of a space-charge dominated beam based on tomographic principles. The combination of a high precision tomographic diagnostic with fast imaging screens and a gated camera are used to produce phase-space maps of two beams: one with a parabolic current profile and another with a short perturbation atop a rectangular pulse. The correlations between longitudinal and transverse phase spaces are apparent and their impact on the dynamics is discussed.
