Emittance simulation for a different electron bunch charges with upgraded PITZ setup — •Grygorii Vashchenko — DESY, Platanenallee 6, 15738 Zeuthen

The photo injector test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ) was invented with an aim to develop, characterize and optimize the electron sources for linac driven free electron lasers like FLASH and European XFEL. As a prerequisite for a successful experimental emittance optimization, emittance dependencies on the majority of linac parameters have to be studied in simulations. Despite that the nominal electron bunch charge for the operation of FLASH and XFEL is 1nC, there is an interest of the community to operate with other bunch charges. Emittance dependencies on such machine parameters like laser spot size on the photo cathode, laser pulse length, gun launching phase, focusing solenoid current and first accelerating structure gradient are simulated for different electron bunch charges. Based on the simulations data the systematic errors caused by detuning of the different machine parameters from their optimum values are estimated.
