Emittance

What is Emittance

In accelerator physics, Cartesian coordinate system was used to describe motion of the accelerated particles. Usually the z-axis of Cartesian coordinate system is set to be along the electron beam line as longitudinal beam direction. X-axis is set to be horizontal and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, as one of the transverse beam direction. Y-axis is set to be vertical and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, as another transverse beam direction.

For the convenience of representation, we use $z$ to represent our transverse coordinates, while discussing emittance. And we would like to express longitudinal beam direction with $s$. Our transverse beam profile changes along the beam line, it makes $z$ is function of $s$, $z~(s)$. The angle of a accelerated charge regarding the designed orbit can be defined as:

$z'=\frac{dz}{ds}$

If we plot $z$ vs. $z'$, we will get an ellipse. The area of the ellipse is an invariant, which is called Courant-Snyder invariant. The transverse emittance $\epsilon$ of the beam is defined to be the area of the ellipse, which contains 90% of the particles <ref name="MConte08"> M. Conte and W. W.

Measurement of Emittance with Quad Scanning Method

In quadrupole scan method, a quadrupole and a Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG ) screen was used to measure emittance. Magnetic field strength of the quadrupole was changed in the process and corresponding beam shapes were observed on the screen. Transfer matrix of a quadrupole magnet under thin lens approximation:

$\left( \begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ -k_{1}L & 1 \end{matrix} \right)=\left( \begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ -\frac{1}{f} & 1 \end{matrix} \right)$

Here, $k_{1} L$ is quadrupole strength, $L$ is quadrupole magnet thickness, and f is quadrupole focal length. $k_{1} L \gt 0$ for x-plane, and $k_{1} L \lt 0$ for y-plane. Transfer matrix of a drift space between quadrupole and screen:

$\mathbf{S} = \left( \begin{matrix} S_{11} & S_{12} \\S_{21} & S_{22} \end{matrix} \right)=\left( \begin{matrix} 1 & l \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix} \right)$

Here, $l$ ($S_{12}$) is the distance from the center of the quadrupole to the screen. Transfer matrix of the scanned region is:

$\mathbf{M} = \mathbf{SQ} = \begin{pmatrix} m_{11} & m_{12} \\ m_{21} & m_{22} \end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix} S_{11} & S_{12} \\ S_{21} & S_{22} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ -k_1L & 1 \end{pmatrix}= \begin{pmatrix} S_{11} - k_1LS_{12} & S_{12} \\ S_{21} - k_1L S_{22} & S_{22} \end{pmatrix}$

$\mathbf{M}$ is related with the beam matrix $\mathbf{\sigma}$ as:

$\mathbf{ \sigma_{screen}} = \mathbf{M \sigma_{quad} M^T} = \begin{pmatrix} m_{11} & m_{12} \\ m_{21} & m_{22} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} \sigma_{quad, 11} & \sigma_{quad, 12} \\ \sigma_{quad, 21} & \sigma_{quad, 22} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} m_{11} & m_{12} \\ m_{21} & m_{22} \end{pmatrix}$

Since:

$\sigma_{x}=\sqrt{\epsilon_x\beta},~\sigma_{x'}=\sqrt{\epsilon_x\gamma},~\sigma_{xx'}={-\epsilon_x\alpha}$

$\mathbf{ \sigma} = \begin{pmatrix} \sigma_{11} & \sigma_{12} \\ \sigma_{21} & \sigma_{22} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \sigma_{x}^2 & \sigma_{xx'} \\ \sigma_{xx'} & \sigma_{x'}^2 \end{pmatrix}$
