Control of the 6D (x,y,z,p x,p y,p z) phase space distribution of beams is important for all particle accelerators over a wide span of applications including beam - based imaging for material science, accelerator - based light sources, and plasma wakefield - based accelerators. At all large high intensity beam particle accelerators, such as the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center (LAN - SCE) [1] or the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) [2], the beam's phase distribution must be controlled for proper acceleration and to prevent beam lo ss by matching to the accelerator's magnetic focusing lattice. At particle accelerator - based free electron laser (FEL) light sources, such as the Linac Coherent Light Source [3], the European X - ray FEL [4], and the Swiss FEL [5] the beam's phase space defi nes the properties of the generated light and must be adjusted between different experiments.
