Abstract
High brightness electron beam is one of the main goals of the research and development effort in RF photo-injectors.Compared with the normally used magnetic chicane,an alternative scheme,commonly known as ‘velocity bunching',has been proposed as a tool to compress electron beam pulses in modern high brightness photo-injector sources.This paper presents numerical optimization systematically and the first attempt to demonstrate the velocity bunching scheme on SDUV-FEL linac experimentally.The relationship between the degree of bunching and the off-crest phase of the accelerating structure is explored experimentally.Velocity bunching operating mode illustrates flexible performances with an intrinsic machine jitter,which agrees well with the theoretical prediction.
