a b s t r a c t Analytical and numerical results are obtained on the angular and spectral distributions of the number of photons as well as on the total number of the photons of the coherent X-ray crystalline undulator radiation (CXCUR) produced by microbunched beams passing through crystalline undulators (CU). These results show that one can use CXCUR for study of the microbunching process in XFELs and for production of additional monochromatic intense beams. Ó 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction At the end of the long undulators of FELs the electron beams undergoes longitudinal density modulation or microbunching (MB) with period equal to the wavelength of the FEL SASE radiation (see, for instance, [1,2]). Since the coherent radiation and exponential growth of the FEL radiation intensity arise due to MB, the study of the MB process is important for diagnostics of FEL beams and for the increase of FEL efficiency. At present using the coherent transition radiation (CTR) of photons softer than the optical photons the experimental study of MB has been carried out by the method for the study of MB proposed in [3] only on FELs with electron beams of energies less than 1 GeV [4,5]. The 10 GeV electron microbunched beam of SLAC XFEL, LCLS is sent to dump without any application [1], though a method based on coherent X-ray transition radiation (CXTR) has been proposed [6]. Moreover, there is a proposal [7] how to study MB at SLAC LCLS with the help of CXTR, and even some preparatory works have been carried out [8]. As the theory and simulations show MB of the electron beams is spoiled after the long undulators. There are proposals [9,10] in which it is shown that for the further use of these microbunched beams one can deflect them with the help of especial magnetic systems conserving the MB. Such deflected microbunched electron beams not accompanied with intense SASE X-beams can be used for additional production and applications of various types coherent X-ray beams, in particular, CXTR beams [6]. In the works [11,12] it is shown that the not deflected microbunched beams

accompanied with SASE radiation can be used for production of more intense so called self stimulated undulator radiation. After the prediction [13] and theoretical and experimental study of the parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) of single charged particles, PXR has found application for solving various problems and production of monochromatic beams [14]. In the work [15] it has been studied the properties of the bunch coherence in coherent PXR (CPXR) produced by microbunched beams. As an alternative to CXTR it has been proposed to use CPXR for the study of the process of MB without numerical calculations. Moreover, at present it has been developed the theories [16,17] of the coherent Xray bremsstrahlung (CXBR), resonance transition radiation (CXRTR) and X-ray diffraction radiation (CXDR) produced by microbunched beams. On the other hand, after the first theoretical [18] and experimental [19] works on X-ray undulator radiation (XUR) of not microbunched electron beams, the theory of UR has been developed in many works (see [20]). It has been theoretically [21] and experimentally [22] investigated the undulator radiation produced in gas filled undulators. The theory of the predicted in [23] socalled crystalline undulator radiation (CUR) has been further developed without [24] and with [25] taking into account the polarization of the medium. Compared with the UR produced in magnetic undulators in the case of CUR the particles are channeled between the crystallographic planes, and due to the strong field of the crystalline planes one has the advantage of production of much shorter periods of oscillations or radiation wavelength. However, since the electrons in CU move in condensed matter just as in the case of bremsstrahlung [13] at GeV electron and keV radiated photon energies it is imperative to take into account the influence of the medium.

At present besides the ultrasonic method of preparation of CU considered still in [23] there are published a few methods of preparation of CU [26–30]. Silicon CU have been prepared by scratching with periods L = (50–100) lm, oscillation amplitudes ACU = (20– 100) A° and number of periods NCU  10. Supperlattice CU of GexSi1x have been prepared by epitaxial methods with L = (9.9– 50) lm, ACU = (4–90) A° and NCU  4. Experimental results on CUR [31–33] have been obtained with electrons and positrons with energies (0.3–10) GeV. However, they need a more correct comparison with the existing theoretical results, and the possibility of construction of CU for electrons is doubtful because of short dechanneling length of electrons [34]. In the next Section of this work with the purpose to find another method of study of MB it is described the derivation of the formulae of the spectral and angular distribution of CXCUR. In Section 3 some numerical results are presented, and finally in the last section the discussion of the obtained results are given.

In (1), (2) N b is the number of electrons in the macrobunch, k ¼ x=c ¼ 2p=k and kr ¼ xr =c ¼ 2p=kr are the wave numbers of the produced CXCUR and SASE radiation, rr and rz are the transversal and longitudinal dispersions of the electron Gaussian distribution in the bunch, V is the velocity of the electrons, b1 is the SASE parameter or the MB modulation depth. According to (1) and (2) the physics of the production of coherent radiation by microbunched beams, in brief, is in the following: Despite the spikes let us assume that the macrobunch consists of M microbunches each containing nb electrons with relativistic factor c ¼ E=mc2 ¼ ð1  b2 Þ1=2 (b ¼ V=c), so that Nb ¼ Mnb . If the parameters of the FEL are chosen in such a manner that the SASE resonance frequency xr is within the spectral distribution of the broad spectrum of the incoherent radiation of single particle radiation, then for the corresponding coherent radiation with wavelength larger than the length of the microbunch k P kr , all the nb electrons of the first microbunch oscillate synchronically and radiate photon number of the coherent radiation proportional to n2b . The following next microbunches also radiate in the same way. However, since the microbunches are periodical, due to interference, the summary number of the radiated photons of the macro2 bunch is proportional to N 2b b1 . In this work for a single particle it is reasonable to use the following formula of the angular-spectral distribution of the first harmonic of CUR in dipole approximation per unit length of a medium filled CU obtained after series expansion and integration over azimuth angles of the formula (32) of the work [21]: 2 i  d NCUR pag2 h ¼ 2 u 1 þ ð1  u2 1Þ2 d u2  /ð1Þ : d1du r L

As it has been shown in [25] compared with the spectrum of undulators without medium filling the CUR spectrum of single particles is narrowed within the interval from 11 up to 12 . The CUR photons with frequencies 11 and 12 are emitted under zero angles with respect to the particle momentum. The formula (3) corresponds to the formula (14.114) of [37]. In particular, integrating (3) over angles one obtains the formula (17) of the work [25] for the spectral distribution of CUR produced by a particle. It is well known that the dipole approximation is applicable for all frequencies if the undulator parameter q < 1. However, formula (3) is also applicable in certain frequencies 1 even when q > 1, but if 1qu << 1 , when one can make series expansion of the Bessel functions in formula (32) of the work [21]. Using the above expressions in the region close to the 1 ¼ xr=Xc2 one can present the angular-spectral distribution of CXCUR of a macrobunch in the form 2

By an appropriate choice of the experimental parameters one can have 1r > 11 , from which it follows the condition L < 2k2P =kr .

photon energy equal to E = 13.6 GeV and  hxr ¼ 8:3 keV the condition 1r  11 is satisfied for Si CU with AU = 3 nm and L = 20.7 lm. The below given numerical results have been calculated with the help of (14)–(16) for the following beam parameters of LCLS. The particle beam parameters are: NB = 1.56  109, b1 = 1, E = 13.6 GeV, h  xr = 8.3 keV, rz = 9  104 cm, rr = 6.12  104 cm. The CU parameters are: particles are channeled between the (1 1 0) crystallographic planes of a silicon crystal with interplanar distance d = 0.192 nm, the period and oscillation amplitude of CU are equal to L = 20.7 lm and AU = 3 nm, respectively. In the above calculations and results given for unit length CU it has not been taken into account the absorption of the CXCUR photons produced homogeneously along their entire path in CU. Having the above calculated number N CXCUR for unit length of CU one can calculate N CXCUR ðLCU Þ, the number of photons coming out from a CU with length LCU using the formula [38].

As it is seen from (9)–(12) the CXCUR intensities are large if simultaneously 1  1R and u  0, which is possible if 1R  11 . One can show that such conditions will be fulfilled with necessary accuracy, if by an appropriate choice of the available parameters it is possible to obtain 1R ¼ 11 þ B=A. Then, taking into account that for real parameters 1/ << 1 and 1ðuÞu2 << 1, as well as that the spectral distribution at 11 is not sharp, but have finite slope with width much wider than the distributions (11) and (12) due to finite length of the undulator, Dc=c, etc., one can present the spectral and angular distributions of CXCUR in the forms.

3. Numerical results and discussion Before beginning the description of the calculations let us note that the CXCUR intensities, calculated with the help of the formulae (11) and (12) when 1r is significantly larger than 11 , are very low because of the second terms in the exponents. For this reason in the below calculations with appropriate choice of amplitude AU and period L of CU for the given particle energy we try to achieve 11 close to 1r and use the formulae (14)–(16). For particle and SASE

where NCXCUR is given either by (14) or by (15), and Labs is the absorption length of the produced monochromatic photons. As it follows from (17) the number of the produced photons increases with the increase of CU length LCU and then is saturated when LCU P ð3 4ÞLabs giving N CXCUR ðLCU Þ  N CXCUR Labs . Therefore, it is not reasonable to take LCU greater than 4Labs . For CU made of Si and  hxr = 8.3 keV one has Labs ð8:3 keVÞ = 77.5 lm. Therefore, we take ðLCU ¼ 4 Labs = 310 lm giving CU oscillation number Nosc  15, though during the calculations of the number of the CXCUR photons we correctly have taken Leff ¼ Labs = 77.5 lm. Let us note that the dechanneling length for 13.6 GeV electrons   is equal to LeDech  13ðlm=GeVÞEe ðGeVÞ = 177 lm and LeDech  90 lm according to [34] and CATCH simulations [39], respectively. Unfor tunately for electrons the experimental data on LeDech are sparse, but even these data show once more that it is not serious to speak about CU for electrons. Therefore, our further considerations concern positrons. For 13.6 GeV positrons channeled between (110)  of Si crystal LeDech  8160 lm, much larger than ðLCU = 310 lm.Therefore, one can neglect dechanneling in the above calculations. Fig. 1 shows the spectral and angular distributions of CXCUR produced in a ðLCU = 310 lm long CU calculated with the help of (14) and (15) for the above parameters. As it is seen maximum of the angular distribution of CXCUR is at the same angles and it has the same width as the maxima and widths of the angular distributions of CXTR, CXRTR and CXDR (see [16,17]). Again the emission angles of CXCUR are much smaller than those of UR and bremsstrahlung, XTR, RTR angular distributions which are around u  1 or h  1=c. The total number of CXCUR photons calculated by numerical integration of the curves of Fig. 1 and with the help of the formula (16) is equal to N CXCUR = 1.2  1010. Let us note that this number is

66

higher than the achievable numbers of CXTR, CXDR [16,17] and lower than for CXRTR [16,17]. Therefore, one can conclude that CXCUR can be successfully used for the study of the microbunching parameters of XFELs using arrangement schematically shown in [16].
