Longitudinal phase-space matching between radio-frequency systems with different harmonic numbers and accelerating voltages

Accelerator Physics 2021-12-30 v1

Abstract

We describe a simple mechanism to transform bunches with matched longitudinal phase-space distributions from one RF system to a matched distribution of a second RF system operating on a different harmonic and with a different accelerating voltage. The process is reversible and the longitudinal emittance is preserved. Simple equations that characterize the procedure are given and applications are discussed. In particular this method can be used to rapidly shorten the bunch length in proton rings.
