Double-Horn Suppression in EEX Based Bunch Compression

Nonlinearities on the longitudinal phase space in-duce a double-horn current profile when the bunch is compressed strongly. Since this double-horn can de-grade the performance of FELs due to the CSR it makes, the suppression of the double-horn is one of important beam dynamics issues. Emittance exchange (EEX) can be interesting option for this issue due to its longitudinal controllability. Since EEX exchanges the longitudinal phase space and transverse phase space, higher order magnets such as octupole can control the nonlinearity. In this paper, we present simulation re-sults on the suppression of the double-horn current profile using EEX based bunch compression. We use a double EEX beamline installed at the Argonne Wake-field Accelerator facility for the simulation.
