Other lectures tell you why x-rays are useful. Here, I will talk about where x-rays come from! Outline (1) X-rays from electrons radiation electricity and magnetism some relativity + (2) Where do the electrons come from? synchrotron particle accelerators = electron storage ring beam dynamics synchrotron radiation PART 1 radiation Radiaon from charged par4cles- generali4es Maxwell’s equations: In vacuum, one derives the wave equation, where one gets plane waves representing electromagnetic radiation. A source for such radiation requires a time dependent current. Accelerating charged particles will thus provide a source of radiation. Dipole radiaon Example of radiation source: Consider a charge oscillating in sinusoidal motion. ! x θ r It produces a radiation pattern: sin2 (θ) S ∼ rˆ r2 ω The radiation will have a frequency f = 2π x(t) = Acos(ωt) c and wavelength λ = remember c = λ f f Polarization is linear in direction ˆ θ c = 2.99792e8 m/sec = speed of light Now, consider a moving, wiggling charge x s λu Observed from a distance in the plane of oscillation, this looks (almost) like the oscillating dipole again! The motion creates two important differences: 1) wavelength shifted by Doppler effect, and in case of relativistic speed, there is a time contraction effect. Net effect: λ λ = u γ 2 2) Pattern of radiation gets distorted from motion.

PART 2 synchrotron Par4cle accelerators and storage rings Two things to understand: 1) Single electrons: How to store an electron and what kind of orbit will it have? 2) What kind of distribution of electrons will we get in the synchrotron? How to store a high energy electron? First accelerate: 6 GeV for ESRF To move in a circle, we use dipole magnets For transverse focussing/stability, use quadrupoles To fix chromatic aberration, we need sextupoles To give energy back lost to synchrotron radiation, and to provide longitudinal stability, use RF cavities ESRF Acceleraon Complex 1− β = 3.6 × 10−9 E 0.025eV Ek = 200MeV E = 6.03GeV k = Ek = 100keV Ek = 11MeV k γ = 1 γ = 1.2 γ = 22.5 γ = 391 γ = 11,800 electron buncher linac TL1 booster TL2 gun prebuncher storage ring Electron Gun and pre-buncher impulse to gun determines bunch shape and length pre-buncher does not accelerate 100 keV triode gun γ = 1.2 gun is triggered either at 10 Hz or at 1 Hz Storage ring components dipole quadrupole sextupole RF cavity Quadrupoles for strong focusing of electrons ¼ of an ESRF quadrupole B Apply Lorentz force law 1 Opposite signs! kx = − Field in body and we get focal strengths Bρ Requires clever given by quad placement B ! k = 1 and polarity to get B B (y xˆ x yˆ) y overall focussing! = 1 + Bρ Sextupoles Sextupoles may be used to correct energy effect from quadrupoles (chromaticity). Then causes additional stability problems which need to be corrected! ! Beam lifetime and dynamic aperture for injection B B (xy xˆ (x2 y2 )yˆ) hard problem in non-linear = 2 + − dynamics! RF cavity Gives energy back that was lost from radiation and provides longitudinal focussing. Most of the ESRF energy use (around 1.5 MW of power) is in these cavities; What happens to stored electrons? Phase space x x=0 time px,y = γ mvx,y configuration space x vs. time for electron, we normalize with phase P0 = γ mvs space x vs. p and use p dx x' = x = P0 ds What kind of distribu4on of electrons will we have in a storage ring? several stored electrons with different amplitudes. x’ Another effect: radiation x 4 4π r m cC e −5 γ E Cγ = 2 3 = 8.85 *10 3 radiated power 3 (mc ) GeV Pγ = 2 in a dipole: 2π ρ radiation constant Higher energy radiates more Lower energy radiates less: Radiation Damping!

Causes damping towards reference energy. position along ring Radiaon damping All electrons damp towards the same orbit! What sets the size of the electron beam? Where does the electron beam size come from? quantum excitation Graininess of photon emission Two sources of randomness: emission time of photons are random: Poisson process Energy emitted is also a random process, with the power spectrum as the probability distribution for each photon. For ESRF, only about 800 photons per turn! Or, about 1 photon emi_ed per meter! (approx. 12 photons per dipole) This quantum mechanical diffusion process accounts for the size of the electron beam, which (usually) determines the size of the x-ray beam! Where does the electron beam size come from? quantum excitation Quantum fluctuaon effect on electron dynamics without QFluct with QFluct damping synchrotron oscillations Electron motion and without quantum fluctuations. Result of damping/diffusion The electron beam reaches a unique Gaussian distribution– independent of how one injects into the ring. This is a major difference between electron synchrotrons and proton synchrotrons (e.g. LHC) By careful choice of where the dipoles and quadrupoles are, one can reduce the size of this equilibrium beam size (emittance = beam size in phase space). So called “Low emittance ring design” In fact, due to developments in lattice design, ESRF is completely replacing the storage ring in 2018 to reduce the electron beam emittance. 4nm -> 150 pm Coherent versus incoherent SR In storage ring, average interparticle spacing is larger than radiation wavelength, thus each electron emits independently. Power scales with N, number of electrons. An FEL (Free Electron Laser) is a different kind of accelerator where the electron beam is designed to have a microbunching structure on the scale of the radiation. This gives coherent radiation with a power proportional to N^2. There are several XFEL projects, e.g. LCLS (US), European XFEL (Germany) , SACLA (Japan), and more Because these are single pass (vs. storage ring) the energy requirement and repetition rate is typically much lower than storage rings. It looks like both storage ring synchrotron sources and FEL sources will fulfill different requirements and can complement each other.
