Description

Relativistic electron beam pulse compression can enhance the beam current intensity within the pulse and generate higher peak current, showing significant potential for applications such as FLASH radiotherapy and wakefield acceleration. This paper proposes a proof-of-principle experimental design for a solenoid-based electron beam pulse compression scheme. The core device of the experiment, namely the magnetic compressor, has an approximately cylindrical structure with a diameter of 42 cm and a height of 47 cm. By utilizing the uniform magnetic field generated by the solenoids, the compressor converts the energy difference of the injected beam bunch into a path-length difference to achieve pulse compression. Simulation studies show that, under a transverse geometric emittance of $10~\mathrm{mm\cdot mrad}$, the beam loss remains below 10%, while the output current waveform exhibits a peak-to-peak ratio of approximately 5, demonstrating an obvious pulse compression effect.
