Controlling and Measuring the Degree of Coherence at CLS using X-ray Interferometry

This paper investigates a case study on measuring and controlling the first-order degree of spatial coherence under different coupling adjustments in the storage ring. The experimental findings are consistent with the predicted inverse relationship between the visibility and the coupling factor. The degree of coherence was measured using X-ray double slit interferometry with synchrotron radiation at an energy of 7 keV on the Brockhouse X-Ray Diffraction and Scattering in-vacuum undulator beamline. The vertical degree of coherence increases as the coupling factor in the storage ring is reduced. The Linear Optics for Closed Orbit (LOCO) algorithm is used to model the linear terms of the storage ring optics in Accelerator Toolbox. The LOCO-tuned model provides insights into the variations in the vertical beam size at two different source points in the storage ring as a function of the coupling factor. The coupling factor is parameterized by the closest-tune approach with a bunch-by-bunch feedback system to confirm the trend in the changes of the vertical beam size and the visibility.

Observation of Wakefields and Resonances in Coherent Synchrotron Radiation

We report on high resolution measurements of resonances in the spectrum of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) at the Canadian Light Source (CLS). The resonances permeate the spectrum at wavenumber intervals of $0.074 ~\textrm{cm}^{-1}$, and are highly stable under changes in the machine setup (energy, bucket filling pattern, CSR in bursting or continuous mode). Analogous resonances were predicted long ago in an idealized theory as eigenmodes of a smooth toroidal vacuum chamber driven by a bunched beam moving on a circular orbit. A corollary of peaks in the spectrum is the presence of pulses in the wakefield of the bunch at well defined spatial intervals. Through experiments and further calculations we elucidate the resonance and wakefield mechanisms in the CLS vacuum chamber, which has a fluted form much different from a smooth torus. The wakefield is observed directly in the 30-110 GHz range by RF diodes, and indirectly by an interferometer in the THz range. The wake pulse sequence found by diodes is less regular than in the toroidal model, and depends on the point of observation, but is accounted for in a simulation of fields in the fluted chamber. Attention is paid to polarization of the observed fields, and possible coherence of fields produced in adjacent bending magnets. Low frequency wakefield production appears to be mainly local in a single bend, but multi-bend effects cannot be excluded entirely, and could play a role in high frequency resonances. New simulation techniques have been developed, which should be invaluable in further work.

Elastic Compton scattering from the deuteron and nucleon polarizabilities

Cross sections for elastic Compton scattering from the deuteron were measured over the laboratory angles 35-150 deg. Tagged photons in the laboratory energy range 84-105 MeV were scattered from liquid deuterium and detected in the large-volume Boston University NaI (BUNI) spectrometer. Using the calculations of Levchuk and L'vov, along with the measured differential cross sections, the isospin-averaged nucleon polarizabilities in the deuteron were estimated. A best-fit value of (alpha-beta) = 2.6+/-1.8 was determined, constrained by dispersion sum rules. This is markedly different from the accepted value for the proton of (alpha-beta) = 10.0+/-1.5+/-0.9.
