4 The Advanced Photon Source, and its ERL upgrade plan Pulse duration: 100 ps FWHM Challenges (laser related …) High current and low emittance beam must be generated at the injector Drive laser power and pulse shaping Non interceptive, single short measurement of the beam profile Laser technique provides the highest resolution so far Timing must adequate Laser remains an option

5 What is an ellipsoidal beam An ellipsoidal beam is an ellipsoid with flat charge density distribution through out Linear space charge force –Linear to position –Decoupled in trans and longi C. Limborg-Deprey and P. Bolton, Nucl. Instrum. Methods A557, 106 (2006). Advantages –Compensate for all emittance growth due to space charge effect

6 Points to ponder Physics/Engineering –How to generate such beam –To what extant distortion is acceptable No perfect Ellipsoidal beam can be generated Any perfect ellipsoidal beam will be distorted –Space charge effect at electron emission –RF and Schottky effect –No optics are perfect –….. Economics –Cost versus benefit 40% to 50% reduction of emittance for LCLS, 15% shorter saturation length will result (Limborg), from total 33 undulators to 29, save on undulators alone: 4*$474 k (P. Hartog, ANL).
