- The field of dielectric laser accelerators (DLA) garnered a considerable interest in the past six years as it offers novel opportunities in accelerator science and potentially transformative applications. Currently, the most widespread approach considers silicon-based structures due to their low absorption and high refractive index in the infrared spectral region and the well-developed silicon processing technology. In this paper we investigate a diamond as an alternative to silicon, mainly due to its considerably higher damage threshold. In particular, we find that our diamond grating allows a three times higher acceleration gradient (60 MeV/m) compared to silicon gratings designed for a similar electron energy. Using more complex geometries, GeV/m acceleration gradients are within reach for subrelativistic electrons.

Simulations of Magnetic Fields and Forces in Highly Adjustable Magnet (HAM) Undulator Concept Using COMSOL
- 2019
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A design for a new type of undulator insertion device has been proposed. The undulator would consist of a stack of disks that each contain a pair of magnet structures, each disk being a half period of the minimum planar case. The disks could rotate independently about the beam axis, and the distance of the magnets from the center line is adjustable, so the magnetic field is adjustable in magnitude and orientation within the transverse plane along the beam axis. This would allow the undulator to be configured for generating a wide variety of radiation. Plane polarization would be attained with undulator periods as integer multiples of the base period. In the base case the direction of magnetization alternates between each disk, and for the case of multiple periods the magnetization alternates each M:th disk. Helical polarization would be attained with a period greater than two times the base period such that an integer number of periods fit inside the undulator structure. Initial numerical simulations have been made, and are reported in this paper. Building on a previous study [1] further simulations were requested to study the behavior of the magnets closer, and to calculate the forces acting on the magnet structures for use in feasibility assessment. In the previous study simple magnetic structures with uniform direction of magnetization were simulated. In this study a more complex structure was also investigated: a type of partial transverse Halbach configuration. This structure would concentrate the magnetic flux along the beamline and could lead to a more compact design, and limit the magnetic field outside the device.The simulations were made using COMSOL Multiphysics modelling software.

Dissociative Recombination of Astrochemically Interesting Ions
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this thesis the major work described concerns experimental determination of the dissociative recombination (DR) reaction for several molecular ions of astrochemical interest. DR is the process where an electron recombines with a molecular ion to form an excited neutral that disintegrates into two or more neutral fragments to release the gained excess energy. It is very efficient under cold conditions and therefore ubiquitously occurring in interstellar environments such as dark clouds and plays an important role in aeronomical plasmae, lightnings and in man-made plasmas such as in combustion engines and fusion reactors. Although DR reactions are crucial processes in all these environments, product branching fractions of DR reactions have proven to be very unpredictable and present one of the great remaining challenges for theoreticians. The experimental work includes determination of reaction rates and product distribution of DR of complex ions such as protonated alcohols and ethers. The following species have been investigated and are discussed in this thesis: CH3OH2+ (protonated methanol), CD3OD2+ (deuteronated methanol), CD3OCD2+ (methoxymethyl cation), CD3CDOD+ (deuteronated acetaldehyde), CH3CH2OH2+ (protonated ethanol) and (CD3)2OD+ (deuteronated dimethyl ether). The results of these measurements are used in astrochemical model calculations in which the rates used hitherto greatly have been based on educated guesses. Employing the outcome of the DR investigations of the CH3OH2+ and CD3OD2+ ions have shown a great impact on such models. The DR investigations have been followed up by astronomical observations. Theoretical models and laboratory experiments show that methanol should be formed from CO on cold grains. This scenario was tested by astronomical observations of gas associated with young stellar objects (YSOs). Two independent tests were showing consistency with methanol formation on grain surfaces.

- The reaction dynamics of excited sulfur atoms, S(D-1), with acetylene has been investigated by the crossed-beam scattering technique with mass spectrometric detection and time-of-flight (TOF) analysis at the collision energy of 35.6 kJ mol(-1). These studies have been made possible by the development of intense continuous supersonic beams of S(P-3,D-1) atoms. From product angular and TOF distributions, center-of-mass product angular and translational energy distributions are derived. The S(D-1) + C2H2 reaction is found to lead to formation of HCCS (thioketenyl) + H, while the only other energetically allowed channels, those leading to CCS((3)Sigma(-), Delta) + H-2, are not observed to occur to an appreciable extent. The dynamics of the H-elimination channel is discussed and elucidated. The interpretation of the scattering results is assisted by synergic high-level ab initio electronic structure calculations of stationary points and product energetics for the C2H2S ground-state singlet potential energy surface. In addition, by exploiting the novel capability of performing product detection by means of a tunable electron-impact ionizer, we have obtained the first experimental information on the ionization energy of thioketenyl radical, HCCS, as synthesized in the reactive scattering experiment. This has been complemented by ab initio calculations of the adiabatic and vertical ionization energies for the ground-state radical. The theoretically derived value of 9.1 eV confirms very recent, accurate calculations and is corroborated by the experimentally determined ionization threshold of 8.9 +/- 0.3 eV for the internally warm HCCS produced from the title reaction.

- The European X-ray Free Electron Laser has recently started with operation for users. An approximately 3 m long ultra high vacuum laser heater section is implemented to overcome possible electron bunch instabilities. We describe the process of determining the oxide layer thickness and surface roughness on test samples of the internal surface material in the laser heater vacuum chambers using elastic recoil detection analysis and optical surface profiling. The results are compared to specified values and show that surface roughness on the samples is larger than the requested maximum, with RMS deviations from a mean plane of up to 1.76 mu m for 0.60 x 0.45 square millimeter scans. The maximum oxide layer thickness is 5.5 nm on non-electropolished surfaces assuming cuprous oxide with density 6.0 g per cubic centimeter and 4.0 nm on electropolished surfaces.
