Description

We present a method that uses transverse wigglers to impart arbitrary correlations in transverse phase space. This approach becomes particularly powerful when combined with emittance exchange, which converts the transverse phase space into the longitudinal phase space. In contrast to conventional single-sinusoidal correlations, a sawtooth correlation can maximize the fraction of particles contributing to the peak current of a bunch train. Simulations indicate that 90% or more of the particles can be compressed into short, periodic density spikes. We are currently preparing an experimental demonstration of this method. In this work, we introduce the concept and present simulation results supporting its feasibility. We also discuss a key experimental challenge: the feedback control of transverse wigglers during operation.
