Start-to-end error study for FLUTE — •Manuel Weber1, Anke-Susanne Müller1,2,3, Somprasong Naknaimueang2, Marcel Schuh1, Markus Schwarz1, and Pawel Wesolowski2 — 1LAS, KIT, Karlsruhe — 2ANKA, KIT, Karlsruhe — 3IPS, KIT, Karlsruhe
FLUTE, a new linac based test facility and THz source is currently being built at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in collaboration with DESY and PSI. In this machine single electron bunches with charges from 1pC to 3nC will be accelerated to 40-50 MeV. Afterwards the bunches will be compressed longitudinally in a magnetic chicane to generate intense coherent THz radiation. The stability and repeatability of longitudinal bunch profiles are essential for optimum compression and THz emission.
Start to end beam dynamics error studies have been performed using ASTRA to determine the influence of various machine elements on the beam. Afterwards critical parameters are identified and tolerances are defined for those. In this contribution a summary of this error study will be given.
