The design gives full control of the streaking plane, which can be tuned in order to characterize the projections of the beam distribution onto arbitrary transverse axes. This novel feature opens up new opportunities for detailed characterization of the electron beam. In this paper we present first measurements of the Polarix TDS at the FLASHForward beamline at DESY, including three-dimensional reconstruction of the charge-density distribution of the bunch and slice emittance measurements in both transverse directions. The experimental results open the path toward novel and more extensive beam characterization in the direction of multi-dimensional-beam-phase-space reconstruction.","datePublished":"2021-02-11T00:00:00Z","dateModified":"2021-02-11T00:00:00Z","pageStart":"1","pageEnd":"14","license":"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","sameAs":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-82687-2","keywords":["Applied physics","Particle physics","Plasma physics","Science","Humanities and Social Sciences","multidisciplinary"],"image":["https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig1_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig2_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig3_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig4_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig5_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig6_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig7_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig8_HTML.png","https://media.springernature.com/lw1200/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig9_HTML.png"],"isPartOf":{"name":"Scientific Reports","issn":["2045-2322"],"volumeNumber":"11","@type":["Periodical","PublicationVolume"]},"publisher":{"name":"Nature Publishing Group UK","logo":{"url":"https://www.springernature.com/app-sn/public/images/logo-springernature.png","@type":"ImageObject"},"@type":"Organization"},"author":[{"name":"B.

The design gives full control of the streaking plane, which can be tuned in order to characterize the projections of the beam distribution onto arbitrary transverse axes. This novel feature opens up new opportunities for detailed characterization of the electron beam. In this paper we present first measurements of the Polarix TDS at the FLASHForward beamline at DESY, including three-dimensional reconstruction of the charge-density distribution of the bunch and slice emittance measurements in both transverse directions. The experimental results open the path toward novel and more extensive beam characterization in the direction of multi-dimensional-beam-phase-space reconstruction.</p></div></div></section> <section aria-labelledby="inline-recommendations" data-title="Inline Recommendations" class="c-article-recommendations" data-track-component="inline-recommendations"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-title" id="inline-recommendations">Similar content being viewed by others</h3> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w215h120/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-020-66220-5/MediaObjects/41598_2020_66220_Fig1_HTML.png" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-66220-5?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_1" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 1" data-track-label="10.1038/s41598-020-66220-5">Temporal X-ray Reconstruction using Temporal and Spectral Measurements at LCLS </a> </h3> <div class="c-article-meta-recommendations" data-test="recommendation-info"> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__item-type">Article</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__access-type">Open access</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__date">17 June 2020</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w215h120/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-020-67997-1/MediaObjects/41598_2020_67997_Fig1_HTML.png" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-67997-1?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_2" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 2" data-track-label="10.1038/s41598-020-67997-1">Enhancing particle bunch-length measurements based on Radio Frequency Deflector by the use of focusing elements </a> </h3> <div class="c-article-meta-recommendations" data-test="recommendation-info"> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__item-type">Article</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__access-type">Open access</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__date">10 July 2020</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-list__item"> <article class="c-article-recommendations-card" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle"> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__img"><img src="https://media.springernature.com/w215h120/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41566-021-00779-x/MediaObjects/41566_2021_779_Fig1_HTML.png" loading="lazy" alt=""></div> <div class="c-article-recommendations-card__main"> <h3 class="c-article-recommendations-card__heading" itemprop="name headline"> <a class="c-article-recommendations-card__link" itemprop="url" href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41566-021-00779-x?fromPaywallRec=false" data-track="select_recommendations_3" data-track-context="inline recommendations" data-track-action="click recommendations inline - 3" data-track-label="10.1038/s41566-021-00779-x">Cascaded high-gradient terahertz-driven acceleration of relativistic electron beams </a> </h3> <div class="c-article-meta-recommendations" data-test="recommendation-info"> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__item-type">Article</span> <span class="c-article-meta-recommendations__date">11 March 2021</span> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </section> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

The calibration of the streak parameter and the streak angle can be done simultaneously by scanning the position of the beam on the screen as a function of the RF-phase. During the scan, the centre of charge of the beam on the measurement-screen moves transversely along the streaking direction of the structure. The angle of the direction of the streaking can therefore be calculated by fitting the direction of the shift of the beam centroid, while the streak parameter can be calculated by measuring the amplitude of the shift for a given change in the RF-phase.</p><h3 class="c-article__sub-heading" id="Sec5">Measurements of the horizontal and vertical slice emittance</h3><p>As the PolariX TDS offers the possibility to deflect the beam into arbitrary directions, slice emittance measurements in both transverse directions can be performed using the same structure for both measurements.</p><p>To demonstrate this approach, dedicated measurements were performed at FLASHForward. It has to be pointed out that, due to practical restrictions related to the beamtime available and the parasitic run with other experiments, it was not possible to work on the optimization of the beam optics to achieve the nominal goal resolution for the slice emittance measurements, which is in the sub-10 fs range. Despite this limitation, those data-sets constitute the first slice emittance measurements in both transverse directions using the same RF-structure ever performed in the particle accelerator community. Such kinds of measurements have been now enabled by the PolariX TDS design and performances.</p><p>Quadrupole scans were used for the measurements covering a total phase advance of <span class="mathjax-tex">$0.45\cdot 2 \pi$</span> in the horizontal plane and <span class="mathjax-tex">$0.55 \cdot 2\pi$</span> in the vertical plane. A total of twelve different optics were applied for the horizontal slice emittance scan and seven for the vertical scan. Five images were taken for every setting. The TDS resolution was kept constant by not changing the quadrupoles between the TDS and the measurement screen. Unfortunately, the two measurements had to be performed on different days due to time constraints, therefore the two input bunches are different.</p><div class="c-article-section__figure js-c-reading-companion-figures-item" data-test="figure" data-container-section="figure" id="figure-4" data-title="Figure 4"><figure><figcaption><b id="Fig4" class="c-article-section__figure-caption" data-test="figure-caption-text">Figure 4</b></figcaption><div class="c-article-section__figure-content"><div class="c-article-section__figure-item"><a class="c-article-section__figure-link" data-test="img-link" data-track="click" data-track-label="image" data-track-action="view figure" href="/articles/s41598-021-82687-2/figures/4" rel="nofollow"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="//media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig4_HTML.png?as=webp"><img aria-describedby="Fig4" src="//media.springernature.com/lw685/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-021-82687-2/MediaObjects/41598_2021_82687_Fig4_HTML.png" alt="figure 4" loading="lazy" width="685" height="296"></picture></a></div><div class="c-article-section__figure-description" data-test="bottom-caption" id="figure-4-desc"><p>Normalized slice emittance.

With this information experimental results can be used to benchmark state-of-the-art particle-in-cell numerical simulation packages, thus providing an iterative loop for deeper understanding of the underlying physics processes involved. Finally, due to the incredibly high accelerating and focusing gradients inherent to novel accelerator schemes, the fidelity of the acceleration process is extremely sensitive to particular bunch properties. For example, transverse offsets in the centroids of the beam can drive strong instabilities during the acceleration process<sup><a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 3" title="Whittum, D.

An adaptive tuning method has already been used for example at FACET to optimize beam transport in the linac while monitoring the image of the longitudinal phase space of the beam obtained by the combination of a conventional TDS and a dipole magnet<sup><a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 53" title="Scheinker, A. & Gessner, S.

We showed that the measurement of three-dimensional bunch density reconstruction can be performed with tens of fs longitudinal resolution and it is sufficiently robust with respect to shot-to-shot beam fluctuation. In the studied cases, we were able to characterize the electron beam with sufficient accuracy with a number of projections ranging from four to ten. Three-dimensional beam charge density reconstruction has therefore the potential to become a relatively quick measurement that can be integrated in automatized optimization algorithms.</p><p>In our studies, we were also able to confirm the possibility of slice emittance measurements in both transverse planes using the same deflecting structure. It is clear that for a proper characterization of the slice parameters of a beam, the measurements in both planes have to be performed using bunches of the same set up, ideally without much time separation. We will further investigate this in the near future. Also the optimization of the beam optics for reaching the nominal temporal resolution for the slice emittance measurements in the FLASHForward beamline will be performed in future studies.</p><p>The measurement of the slice emittance for arbitrary transverse planes is of extreme importance in the FEL community, since it enables a better control of the FEL transverse coherence properties. The possibility of performing such measurements with the same RF-structure has tremendous practical benefits in terms of compactness and costs of such beam diagnostic. It is worth to stress that for low energy particle-beams, where velocity bunching is not negligible<sup><a data-track="click" data-track-action="reference anchor" data-track-label="link" data-test="citation-ref" aria-label="Reference 21" title="Maxson, J. et al.

The beam indeed undergoes a quick evolution along the diagnostics drift which implies that integrating measurements obtained streaking the beam at different longitudinal position in the beamline is not trivial. Moreover the PolariX TDS design allows to extend the slice-emittance measurement to any arbitrary transverse direction, thus opening the path to six-dimensional beam phase space tomography, if the lattice in which the structure is installed can generate dispersion in multiple planes. In conclusion we expect it and the newly enabled beam characterization techniques that we have discussed to likely strongly influence the way of designing the diagnostics beamline for future accelerators and to allow better understanding of many aspects of beam dynamics and bunch quality optimization.</p></div></div></section><section data-title="Methods"><div class="c-article-section" id="Sec8-section"><h2 class="c-article-section__title js-section-title js-c-reading-companion-sections-item" id="Sec8">Methods</h2><div class="c-article-section__content" id="Sec8-content"><p>In this Section we would like to provide more details concerning the experimental setup, the theory for the data analysis of the slice emittance measurement and the algorithm used for the three-dimensional charge density reconstruction.

We have also verified the impact of the inclusion in the measurement of both zero crossings of the RF-phase of the TDS. It is worth nothing that for the PolariX TDS the measurement at two zero crossings of the RF-phase is equivalent to the measurement at the same RF-phase but with a change of <span class="mathjax-tex">$\pi$</span> of the azimuth of the streaking. In both cases indeed the direction of the streaking observed on the measurement screen is not changed but the versor of the streaking of the head of the beam is flipped. For this reason, taking measurements at both zero crossings of the RF-phase is equivalent to spanning 2<span class="mathjax-tex">$\pi$</span> range in the collection of the beam projections instead of <span class="mathjax-tex">$\pi$</span>. In absence of imperfections in the RF fields or higher order effects in the beam dynamics during the transit in the structure, this extension of the angle range should not be necessary.</p><p>The data analyzed confirmed that for the bunch under observation the optimization of the longitudinal resolution of the measurement played a more important role with respect to the collection of a high number of projections and the extension of the phase range to 2<span class="mathjax-tex">$\pi$</span> (see Supplementary Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" href="/articles/s41598-021-82687-2#MOESM2">3</a>).</p><h3 class="c-article__sub-heading" id="Sec12">Sources of errors</h3><p>The main errors in the presented measurements are governed by statistical errors in the multi-shot calibration. The arrival time jitter of the beam and the RF-phase jitter of the TDS are of the order of tens of fs and constitute the main source of noise in the calibration procedure. The errors presented in the article are calculated by applying error propagation rules to the initial statistical errors.</p><p>The streak parameter used for the tomographic reconstruction is given by the average of the values measured at different azimuth. The uncertainty on the measured streak parameter represents one of the dominant errors of the reconstruction.</p><p>Another systematic error is caused by artifacts introduced in the reconstruction algorithm.</p><p>To have an estimation of the impact of such artifacts we have compared the reconstructed beam distribution projected on the transverse plane (<i>X</i>, <i>Y</i>) (shown in Supplementary Figs. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" href="/articles/s41598-021-82687-2#MOESM2">1</a> and <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" href="/articles/s41598-021-82687-2#MOESM2">3</a>) with the measured spot-size of the beam when the PolariX TDS was switched OFF (see Supplementary Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" href="/articles/s41598-021-82687-2#MOESM2">4</a>).</p><p>Moreover in the caption of Supplementary Fig. <a data-track="click" data-track-label="link" data-track-action="supplementary material anchor" href="/articles/s41598-021-82687-2#MOESM2">1</a> we have compared the RMS bunch length values measured in the following situations:</p><ul class="u-list-style-bullet"> <li> <p>From the average length of the temporal profile of two streaked images at opposite azimuths (this is the conventional method used for TDSs).
