Experimental studies on coherent synchrotron radiation at an emittance exchange beam line

One of the goals of the Fermilab A0 photoinjector is to investigate experimentally the transverse to longitudinal emittance exchange (EEX) principle.Coherent synchrotron radiation in the emittance exchange line could limit the performance of the emittance exchanger Lacrosse Balls at short bunch lengths.In this paper, ASTRINGENT we present experimental and simulation studies of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) in the emittance exchange line at the A0 photoinjector.We report on time-resolved CSR studies using a skew-quadrupole technique.We also demonstrate the advantages of running the EEX with an energy-chirped beam.
