Operator solutions for fractional Fokker-Planck equations
We obtain exact results for fractional equations of Fokker-Planck type using
evolution operator method. We employ exact forms of one-sided Levy stable
distributions to generate a set of self-reproducing solutions. Explicit cases
are reported and studied for various fractional order of derivatives, different
initial conditions, and for different versions of Fokker-Planck operators.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Large-bandwidth two-color free-electron laser driven by a comb-like electron beam
We discuss a two-color SASE free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier where the time
and energy separation of two separated radiation pulses are controlled by
manipulation of the electron beam phase space. Two electron beamlets with
adjustable time and energy spacing are generated in an RF photo-injector illuminating
the cathode with a comb-like laser pulse followed by RF compression
in the linear accelerator. We review the electron beam manipulation technique to
generate bunches with time and energy properties suitable for driving two-color
FEL radiation. Experimental measurements at the SPARC-LAB facility illustrate
the flexibility of the scheme for the generation of two-color FEL spectr
Observation of Time-Domain Modulation of Free-Electron-Laser Pulses by Multipeaked Electron-Energy Spectrum
We present the experimental demonstration of a new scheme for the generation of ultrashort pulse
trains based on free-electron-laser (FEL) emission from a multipeaked electron energy distribution.
Two electron beamlets with energy difference larger than the FEL parameter have been generated by
illuminating the cathode with two ps-spaced laser pulses, followed by a rotation of the longitudinal phase
space by velocity bunching in the linac. The resulting self-amplified spontaneous emission FEL radiation,
measured through frequency-resolved optical gating diagnostics, reveals a double-peaked spectrum and a
temporally modulated pulse structure

Status of the SPARC-X Project
SPARC-X is a two branch project consisting in the SPARC test facility dedicated to the development and test of critical subsystems such as high brightness photoinjector and a modular expandable undulator for SASE-FEL experiments at 500 nm with seeding, and the SPARX facility aiming at generation of high brilliance coherent radiation in the 1.5-13 nm range, based on the achieved expertise. The projects are supported by MIUR (Research Department of Italian Government) and Regione Lazio. SPARC has completed the commissioning phase of the photoinjector in November 2006. The achieved experimental results are here summarized together with the status of the second phase commissioning plans. The SPARX project is based on the generation of ultra high peak brightness electron beams at the energy of 1 and 2 GeV generating radiation in the 1.5-13 nm range. The construction is at the moment planned in two steps starting with a 1 GeV Linac. The project layout including both RF-compression and magnetic chicane techniques has been studied
Self-amplified spontaneous emission free electron laser devices and nonideal electron beam transport
We have developed, at the SPARC test facility, a procedure for a real time self-amplified spontaneous emission free electron laser (FEL) device performance control. We describe an actual FEL, including electron and optical beam transport, through a set of analytical formulas, allowing a fast and reliable on-line "simulation" of the experiment. The system is designed in such a way that the characteristics of the transport elements and the laser intensity are measured and adjusted, via a real time computation, during the experimental run, to obtain an on-line feedback of the laser performances. The detail of the procedure and the relevant experimental results are discussed
Self-amplified spontaneous emission for a single pass free-electron laser
SPARC (acronym of "Sorgente Pulsata ed Amplificata di Radiazione Coerente", i.e. Pulsed and Amplified Source of Coherent Radiation) is a single pass free-electron laser designed to obtain high gain amplification at a radiation wavelength of 500 nm. Self-amplified spontaneous emission has been observed driving the amplifier with the high-brightness beam of the SPARC linac. We report measurements of energy, spectra, and exponential gain. Experimental results are compared with simulations from several numerical codes
Conceptual Design of a Soft X‐ray SASE‐FEL Source
FELs based on SASE are believed to be powerful tools to explore the frontiers of basic sciences, from physics to chemistry to biology. Intense R&D programs have started in the USA and Europe in order to understand the SASE physics and to prove the feasibility of these sources. The allocation of considerable resources in the Italian National Research Plan (PNR) brought about the formation of a CNR‐ENEA‐INFN‐University of Roma "Tor Vergata" study group. A conceptual design study has been developed and possible schemes for linac sources have been investigated, bringing to the SPARX proposal. We report in this paper the results of a preliminary start to end simulation concerning one option we are considering based on an S‐band normal conducting linac with high brightness photoinjector integrated in a RF compressor
