1940's: The(odore) Svedberg proposes to build a cyclotron

  • Gustaf Werner synchro-cyclotron (1947 – present)

– nuclear physics & cancer treatment

  • CELSIUS ring (1984 – 2005)

– nuclear physics

  • External

– CTF3/CLIC at CERN (since 2005) – FLASH/XFEL at DESY (since 2008) – ESS (since 2009)

  • FREIA laboratory (since 2011)
  • Skandion clinic (2015)

– cancer treatment

What is the optimum taper profile? Can one generate just one cycle?

Simple reasoning from Takashi

total field is a convolution of the current density and the field of a single electron Suppose that the time profile of the current density is the same as the single-electron field profile The convolution boils down to the inverse Fourier transform of the spectral power.

Let us optimize ()

via undulator tapering

in order to get as few cycles as possible.

I equate the spectral power of radiation from a tapered undulator 5 to that of the quasi-half-cycle pulse

It turns out that the minimum number of cycles is 1.5. Optimal taper profile
