Experimental Single Electron 4D Tracking in IOTA

Accelerator Physics 2023-07-13 v1

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the first experiments on 4D tracking of a single electron using a linear multi-anode photomultiplier tube. The reported technology makes it is possible to fully track a single electron in a storage ring, which requires tracking of amplitudes and phases for both, slow synchrotron and fast betatron oscillations. Complete tracking of a point-like object enabled the first direct measurements of single-particle dynamical properties, including dynamical invariants, amplitude-dependent oscillation frequencies, and chaotic behavior.
