Longitudinal phase space manipulation using double emittance exchange to generate multi-color X-ray

Generating temporally separated two X-ray pulses or even two pulses with different colors has been pursued for various X-ray experiments. Recently, this concept is extended to generate multi-color X-ray pulses, and a few approaches have been proposed. We introduce one of possible new ways to generate multi-color X-ray using a longitudinal phase space (LPS) modulator and a manipulator. In this example, a wakefield structure and double-emittance exchange beamline are used as the LPS modulator and the LPS manipulator, respectively. In this way, we can generate multiple bunches having designed energy and time separations. These separations can be adjusted for each application differently. This paper describes the principle of the method and its feasibility.
