Description
For more than two decades, the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) — KIT’s synchrotron radiation source and accelerator test facility — has been routinely operated in short-pulse mode, which involves reducing the momentum compaction factor. Recent advancements, such as enhanced stability provided by new magnet power supplies, have enabled us to surpass previous limitations in achieving extremely small momentum compaction factors. Based on lattice simulations and the introduction of a single additional sextupole magnet we successfully suppressed the longitudinal chromaticity, allowing the “zero-current” bunch length at KARA to be reduced from the previous 2 ps to below 1 ps. We further report on characterization measurements of this improved operating mode.
