High Brightness beams production for advanced accelerator applications

• Luca Serafini (MI)

Light sources based on high gain free electron lasers or future high energy linear colliders require the production, acceleration and transport up to the interaction point of low emittance, high charge density electron bunches. Many effects contribute in general to the degradation of the final beam quality, including chromatic effects, wake fields, emission of coherent radiation, accelerator misalignments. Space charge effects and mismatch with the focusing and accelerating devices typically contribute to emittance degradation of high charge density beams, hence the control of beam transport and acceleration is the leading edge for high quality beam production. In this lecture we introduce from basic principles the main concepts of beam focusing and transport in modern accelerators using the beam envelope equation as a convenient mathematical tool. Matching conditions suitable to preserve the beam quality are derived from the model for significant beam dynamics regimes. An extension of the model to the plasma accelerator case is also introduced.

Some strategies for modeling magnetically confined plasmas

• David Mascali (INFN - Laboratori Nazionali del Sud)

Plasma modeling is a very challenging task, since electrons and ions typically exhibit collective behaviors due to long-range Coulomb interaction. Several simulation strategies exist, each one able to highlight some specific features of the plasma: e.g. magnetic confinement mechanisms, electron-wave interaction, etc. The possible approaches span from pure Monte-Carlo methods, including interparticle collisions, to ray tracing calculations, in order to model the propagation, scattering and absorption of electromagnetic waves. A general overview of plasma physics, along with the description of the most common simulation approaches, will be given during the seminar. The last part of the lecture will be specifically dedicated to self-consistency in plasma modeling, that is especially required when simulating spontaneous or induced formation of plasma waves, non-linearities, turbulence.
