| Summary: | Incoherent and coherent synchrotron radiation are issues in most new accelerator projects utilizing bunch compressors to increase the peak current of the electron beam. Here we present a systematic approach to design a bunch compressor chicane suitable for the multi-TeV compact linear collider (CLIC). Based on analytical equations and beam dynamics simulations, we discuss how the influence of incoherent and coherent synchrotron radiation on the transverse beam emittance depends on chicane and electron beam parameters. The optimization of the bunch compressor layout and the electron beam parameters results in two different options which preserve the emittance to well within the specifications. |
