Siegel, M. Weber and A.-S. MüllerKarlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, GermanyAbstractThe test facility and synchrotron radiation source ANKAat the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Karlsruhe,Germany, can be operated in a short-pulse mode. Above athreshold current, the high charge density leads to microwaveinstabilities and the formation of sub-structures. These time-varying sub-structures on bunches of picosecond durationlead to the observation of bursting coherent synchrotron ra-diation (CSR) in the terahertz (THz) frequency range. Thespectral information in this range contains valuable informa-tion about the bunch length, shape and sub-structures.We present recent measurements of a spectrometer setupthat consists of 4 ultra-fast THz detectors, sensitive in differ-ent frequency bands, combined with the KAPTURE readoutsystem developed at KIT for studies requiring high datathroughput. This setup allows to record continuously thespectral information on a bunch-by-bunch and turn-by-turnbasis. This contribution describes the potential of time-resolved spectral measurements of the short-bunch beamdynamics.INTRODUCTIONThe self-interaction of the bunch with its emitted electricfield leads to deformation in the longitudinal phase space.Above the microwave instability threshold this results in theformation of sub-structures and the emission of coherent syn-chrotron radiation at wavelengths in the order of the size ofthe sub-structures. In storage rings with a short-bunch oper-ation mode and picosecond long bunches this is in the rangeof some hundred gigahertz to a few terahertz. The changingsub-structures emit coherently in a different spectral rangein each turn. Observing the radiation with single-shot de-tectors turn-by-turn gives insights to the evolution of thesestructures.MEASUREMENT SETUPMeasurements have been performed at the "Infrared2"beamline at the test facility and synchrotron radiation sourceANKA [1]. The storage ring is operated in a short-pulsemode (low-alpha operation) above the microwave instabilitythreshold [2]. Important machine parameters during themeasurement are summarized in Table 1.The radiation is coupled out at the diagnostic port of theinfrared beamline through a z-cut quartz window. With aset of four wire grid polarizers the beam is first horizon-tally polarized and then split into four equally powered parts,∗ johannes.steinmann@kit.eduTable 1: ANKA Machine ParametersBeam energy 1.287GeVCircumference 110.4mVacuum chamber full height 32mmRevolution frequency 2.716MHzRF frequency 499.72MHzSynchrotron frequency 8.2 kHzCalculated bursting threshold [3] 0.2mACalculated momentum compaction αc 5 × 10−4Diagnostic PortBSBSBSKAPTUREReadout PCData StorageWR-2.2WR-3.4WR-8.0WR-5.12 GByte/s streamPCIePolarizerFigure 1: The incoming synchrotron radiation is first po-larized and then divided into four beams by 3 wire-gridbeam splitters.

Each detector signal is simulta-neously read out with KAPTURE [5], which for each turnmeasures the detector signal by a 12 bit ADC. This setupis sketched in Fig. 1. To improve the used ADC range, thethree highest SBD detectors (WR5.1, WR3.4, WR2.2) areamplified using a 15 dB, 18GHz amplifier.

The image shows the emitted radiation due to the changing bunch profile overtime. On top is an average simulated spectrum. The expected power in the frequency bands of SBD is integrated and shownin the right panel together with the instantaneous rms bunch length. For better visibility, the WR2.2 signal is scaled by 4,the WR3.4 is amplified by 2 and shifted by 50. WR5.1 and WR8 are shifted by 100 and 150, respectively.The shown responsivity, however, is only indicative of thesensitivity of the detector system, i.e. the diodes should notbe compared quantitatively. To do that, it has to be takeninto account, that the measured synchrotron radiation pulseis broad band and the frequency acceptance of diodes inits band is not uniform. Moreover, the synchrotron pulseis shorter than the response time of the detector, with theconsequence that the signal is dominated by the impulseresponse of the diodes, which for all diodes has been mea-sured to be above 18GHz. The measured pulse amplitude istherefore highly dependent on the quality of the RF readoutpath of the individual diode, which has not been measured,and less on the individual DC-responsivity. The differentsensitivity has therefore not been compensated in the follow-ing plots and the reader has to keep in mind, that quantitativecomparisons have to be taken with special care. All theseproperties, however, do not change during the experiment,so that a qualitative comparison is possible.SIMULATIONSimulations have been carried out with Inovesa, an opensource parallelized Vlasov-Fokker-Planck solver developedat KIT [6]. Inovesa simulates the longitudinal phase spaceinfluenced by an impedance. In this simulations, only CSRimpedance with shielding by parallel plates has been takeninto account [7]. The projection on the time axis providesthe bunch structure and from that the emitted THz radiationis calculated. Note that in a real measurement the lower fre-quencies are additionally shielded by the beam-line geometryand transmission properties of the used vacuum windowsand mirrors.Figure 2 presents simulated data for a bunch current of800 µA.

In the top panel, an average spectrum, as it would bedetected by a slow detector is shown. Also indicated are thefrequency bands of the four detectors. The right panel showsthe THz intensity in those four observed spectral bands aswell as the overall rms bunch length at that time. The smallbut fast modulation is due to a dipole motion and showstherefore a periodicity with twice the synchrotron frequency.The rms bunch length decreases due to radiation damping,until a threshold is reached, then the strong CSR instabilitydrives micro-structures and blows up the bunch. This blowup in combination with diffusion and damping in phase spacehomogenizes the bunch shape and the sub-structures vanish.The bunch length as well as the energy spread fluctuationshows therefore the same periodicity as the burst (see [8]).Four marked time points are shown in more detail in Fig-ure 3. The spectrum as well as the bunch profile at thesetimes are shown. Case (A) is between two bursts: the sub-structures have decayed, the shape is almost Gaussian andthe bunch is further shortening according to the dampingtime. The WR2.2 and WR3.4 diode receive a very low sig-nal. At (B), the shortened bunch implies an increased wakepotential which leads to bunch deformations and drives theMOPAB056 Proceedings of IPAC2017, Copenhagen, DenmarkISBN 978-3-95450-182-3232Copyright©2017CC-BY-3.0andbytherespectiveauthors06 Beam Instrumentation, Controls, Feedback and Operational AspectsT03 Beam Diagnostics and InstrumentationFigure 4: Measured turn-by-turn amplitudes of the four different diodes (1000 turns ≈ 0.368ms ≈ 3 synchrotron periods).The bottom panel shows a zoom-in to the beginning of a burst. Every point is a measured pulse amplitude, the line is toguide the eye.micro-bunching instability, resulting in more radiation asseen first at the lower frequencies. This increases also theintensity of the wake potential, which in return drives thesub-structures even more, and the outburst of radiation isseen at all detectors in case (C). Then, due to the increasedbunch size, the particle density in the sub-structures shrinks,the bunch becomes stable again and damps until the nextburst.RESULTSIn comparison to the simulations above, it has to be takeninto account, that the beamline has a low-frequency cutoffdue to its geometry in combination with the frequency de-pendent beam divergence. Fourier Transform Infrared Spec-troscopy (FTIR) measurements indicate that at the beamlinethe maximum power is observed around 200GHz [9]. Turn-by-turn data of the four SBD detectors of a bunch with acurrent of 800 µA is shown in Fig. 4. In agreement with thesimulations, the amplitude of the WR8.0 and WR5.1 diodeshave a constant signal before the burst which is modulatedwith twice the synchrotron frequency due to the dipole mo-tion (see Fig. 2). Note that the grid shows the coherent syn-chrotron frequency as it has been measured by the bunch-by-bunch feedback system, while the phase space rotates withthe incoherent synchrotron frequency which is expected tobe slightly lower. The high frequency diodes do not measurecoherent radiation until the burst starts and its observationhappens later compared to the lower frequencies.SUMMARY AND OUTLOOKOur discrete setup of an ultra-fast single shot spectrometerwith beam splitters and individual detectors gave promisingresults. The micro-bunching instability can be observed infour frequency bands turn-by-turn in a multi-bunch envi-ronment. Furthermore, the found features agree with simu-lations by a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck solver which opens thedoor to a better understanding and possible influencing ofthe bursting dynamics. In the future, we plan to use an in-tegrated detector array [10] in combination with the nextKAPTURE version, that will provide 8 readout channels andan improved readout path [5].ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWewould like to thank Y.-L.
