FIG. 2.10: Illustration of quadrupole scan method to measure the transverse emittance.<br />

The strength of a quadrupole is varied while the downstream beam size is measured.<br />

From Eq. (2.11) and Eq. (2.13) the emittance can be extracted by fitting data with a<br />

quadratic fit.<br />

scan and is illustrated in Fig. 2.10. In practice, the quadrupole is scanned over<br />

many values of the strength. By fitting the data with a least-squares quadratic fit<br />

the unknown quantities are extracted.<br />

Because the transfer matrix has a unit determinant, the following relation<br />

holds [38]<br />

βγ − α 2 ≡ 1 (2.12)<br />

where γ ≡ (1 + α 2 )/β. Using the three fitting parameters from the quadratic fit,<br />

(β1ɛg), (γ1ɛg), (α1ɛg), and using Eq. (2.12), the emittance can be calculated<br />

ɛ 2 g = (β1ɛg)(γ1ɛg) − (α1ɛg) 2<br />

(2.13)<br />

The technique described above is straightforward for a linac, however for a recir-<br />

culating linac like CEBAF, the situation becomes more complicated. The difficulty<br />

arises because the quadrupole used for the scan is common to two co-propagating
