    Notes: A fundamental study of the formation of negative hydrogen ions via surface conversion is presented. Employed is a novel type of converter, namely a pure barium metal surface. In spite of the high work function of barium compared to more conventional cesiated converters, considerable yields of negative ions were produced. Conversion efficiencies up of 4% are obtained, which is of the same order as for cesiated converters. The high negative-ion yield is probably related to the electron density of barium, which is almost twice that of cesiuim. This is confirmed by model calculations and by UHV scattering experiments under well-defined conditions. Furthermore, calculations showed that the hydrogen coverage of the converter increases with increasing flux of positive hydrogen ions to the surface. This behavior is confirmed experimentally. Seeding the hydrogen plasma with argon has no significant effect on the conversion efficiency. This is believed to be related to the competition between the lowering of the surface hydrogen coverage and the increase of the hydrogen desorption rate, both due to the higher sputter coefficient of argon compared to hydrogen.

    Notes: An experimental study on the production of negative ions at a pure barium surface mounted in a multicusp bucket source is presented. The conversion efficiency, i.e., the ratio of the extracted negative-ion current and the positive-ion current incident on the surface, for deuterium and for hydrogen, have been measured as a function of source pressure, converter bias, and distance between conversion surface and extraction aperture. The conversion efficiency for deuterium is somewhat larger when compared to hydrogen. The conversion efficiencies obtained agree with a model, taking into account the concentration of hydrogen in the barium surface layers. The cross sections which were measured for the stripping of negative ions by neutral gas agreed well with values from literature. The experimentally determined divergence of the surface-produced beam was 4.5° for hydrogen and 3.6° for deuterium at an energy of 100 eV. At a source pressure of 5 mTorr, the volume-produced negative-ion current could be enhanced by 10%; for 1 mTorr this enhancement was of the order of 25%.

    Notes: A unique property of the free-electron laser (FEL) is its capability to be tuned continuously over a wide spectral range. This is a major difference with all other high-power lasers. However, the tunability of first-generation FELs used to be quite poor (typically 10% or less), due to constraints imposed by the accelerator and the undulator. The free electron laser for infrared experiments (FELIX) uses an undulator with an adjustable gap, which permits wavelength scans over an octave in typically 2 min without the need for any readjustment of the electron beam. Results obtained in operation of the long-wavelength FEL of the FELIX facility are presented. These involve measurements of the spectral range covered (16–110 μm), the output power, and the influence of the cavity desynchronism. The results are compared with numerical simulations.

    Notes: The properties of the wake field excited by a flattop laser pulse with a sharp leading edge and a power below the critical one for relativistic self-focusing are studied analytically and numerically with emphasis on the phase velocity of the plasma wave. The paraxial model describing modulation of the pulse spot size is shown to provide a good quantitative description, including preexponential factors, of the wake field during the linear stage of the resonant self-modulation instability. Though the phase velocity of the excited plasma wave is shown to be close to the group velocity of the laser pulse, the relativistic γ-factor corresponding to the phase velocity, which is a crucial parameter for particle acceleration, can be substantially less than that of the group velocity. Fortunately, for the considered three-dimensional regime of self-modulation, the noticeable difference between these two γ-factors takes place only in the initial stage of the instability and vanishes in the later stages. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: For operation of a free electron laser, requirements on electron energy stability are extremely tight. When a radio frequency field is used to accelerate the electrons, this leads to stringent requirements on the stability of the klystron output power. We present results obtained with a 20-MW klystron which is energized by a pulse-forming network. The achieved stability of the klystron power is better than 0.1% during 20 μs.

    Notes: Requirements on electron energy stability are extremely tight for operation of a free-electron laser. In case a radio-frequency field is used to accelerate the electrons, this leads to stringent requirements on the stability of the klystron output power and, hence, on the stability of the source producing the cathode voltage. A pulse-forming network (PFN) capable of delivering a 19 kV pulse with a stability of 0.03%, during 20 μs, is presented. The PFN consists of four parallel lines, each containing 19 cells of a 20 nF capacitor and a 20 μH solenoid. The solenoids are equipped with taps and a plunge tuner. An innovative line switch is used, namely a stack of 32 thyristors in series. Numerical simulations of the pulse shape show that, in order to obtain the best possible pulse flatness, it is essential to arrange the capacitors such that the difference between adjacent capacitances is minimized.

    Notes: Time-resolved electron-beam diagnostics have been developed for use with free-electron lasers (FELs) and associated electron sources, based on the techniques of secondary electron emission and optical transition radiation (OTR). The 32-channel OTR detector forms part of a high-resolution (0.18%) electron spectrometer with a time resolution of 50 ns. Variable-magnification optics allow the spectrometer to view single-macropulse spectra with widths in the range of 0.2%–7%; wider spectra are taken with several momentum settings. Design criteria for the spectrometer are presented, and experience of operating with the diagnostics over a range of FEL physics experiments is summarized. The spectrometer is used, in conjunction with optical diagnostics, in studies at FELIX of efficiency enhancement, pulse chirping, and stepped-undulator operation. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Measurements of the longitudinal profile of intense electron bunches with an energy of 100 keV, using a button monitor and a 20-GHz sampling oscilloscope, are presented in this paper. At this energy, which is intermediate between nonrelativistic and relativistic, the button response is quite different from the response in either of the two extreme cases. An analytical model of the response is presented. The resolution derived from this model is 80 ps at 100-keV beam energy. For more relativistic beams, a resolution of about 40 ps appears to be feasible. Great care has to be taken in avoiding resonances.

    Notes: A model is presented for the mechanism which establishes the dynamic equilibrium cesium coverage on a W(110) converter surface in the discharge chamber of a negative hydrogen ion source. The charge state of cesium particles arriving at the converter surface is found to be a crucial parameter. A coverage greater than 0.26 monolayers cannot be maintained if the cesium component is highly ionized. The corresponding negative hydrogen ion formation probability is far from optimum. This situation is probably present in all high-density surface conversion negative ion sources employed nowadays.

    Notes: A beam of Cs+ ions with an energy of 500, 1000, or 2000 eV is scattered from a cesiated W(110) target. The angle of incidence is 45° or 75° with respect to the surface normal. The charge state and energy of the scattered particles are measured. The influence of hydrogen coadsorption on the final charge state is investigated. All scattered cesium particles are neutrals when the surface work function is smaller than 2.6 eV. The scattered particles have suffered a pronounced energy loss. From the measurements an extrapolation is made to conditions relevant for surface conversion negative ion sources.
