Abstract Longitudinal density modulations on electron beams can improve machine performance of beam-driven accelerators and FELs with resonance beam-wave coupling *. The sub-ps beam modulation has been studied with a masked chicane ** *** by the analytic model and simulations with the beam parameters of the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) in Fermilab. With the nominal 50 MeV chicane parameters and 3 ps bunch length, the analytic model showed that a slit-mask with slit period 900 um and aperture width 300 μm generates about 100-um modulation periodicity with 2.4% correlated energy spread. With the designed slit mask and a 3 ps bunch, particle-in-cell simulations (CST-PS), including nonlinear energy distributions, space charge force, and coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) effect, also result in ~ 100 um of longitudinal modulation. The beam modulation has been extensively examined with three different beam conditions, 0.25, 1 , and 3.2 nC, by extended 3D tracking simulations (Elegant). The modulated bunch generation will be tested by a slit-mask installed at the chicane of the ASTA 50-MeV-injector beamline for beam-driven acceleration experiments.
