The Low Energy RHIC Electron Cooling (LEReC) facility at BNL demonstrated, for the first time, cooling of ion beams using a bunched electron beam from an SRF accelerating cavity and photoinjector. LEReC is planned to be operational to improve the luminosity of the Beam Energy Scan II physics program in RHIC in the following two years. In order to establish cooling of the RHIC Au ion beam using a 20 mA, 1.6 MeV bunched electron beam; absolute energy, angular and energy spread, trajectory and beam size were precisely matched. A suite of instrumentation was commissioned that includes a variety of current transformers, capacitive pick-up for gun high voltage ripple monitor, BPMs, transverse and longitudinal profile monitors, multi-slit and single-slit scanning emittance stations, time-of-flight and magnetic field related energy measurements, beam halo & loss monitors and recombination monitors. The commissioning results and performance of these systems are described, including the latest design efforts of high-power electron beam transverse profile monitoring using a fast wire scanner, residual gas beam induced fluorescence monitor, and Boron Nitride NanoTube (BNNT) screen monitor

A low-emittance electron beam line for accelerator-based R&D hardware experimentation and study of novel accelerator techniques is under development at the injection linac of the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The Linac Extension Area (LEA) beam line will operate at the full 400 MeV energy of the APS linac. The electron beam is generated from a photo-cathode (PC) electron gun delivering 300 pC of charge with a 3 ps, rms bunch length and normalized beam emittance of ~ 1 micron. The bunch length can be compressed to 150 fs in a flexible chicane at a beam energy of 150 MeV. The APS linac contains an extensive set of conventional and advanced beam diagnostics including a recently commissioned s-band transverse deflecting cavity. The low-emittance electron beam is transported to an independent experimental tunnel enclosure that contains the LEA beam line. Implementing the LEA beam line separate from the APS injector complex allows for on-demand access to the area to perform work without interrupting beam operations of the APS. We discuss the overall scheme of the existing linac beam delivery & diagnostic systems, and report the design of the LEA beam line and initial planned experiments.

TUAO02 Beam-Loss Detection for LCLS-II radiation, detector, linac, electron 229

  SLAC is now installing LCLS-II, a superconducting electron linac driven by continuous RF at 1.3 GHz. The 4-GeV, 120-kW beam has a maximum rate of nearly 1 MHz and can be switched pulse-by-pulse to either of two undulators, to generate hard and soft x rays. Two detector types measure beam losses. Point beam-loss monitors (PBLMs) set limits at critical loss points: septa, beam stoppers and dumps, halo collimators, protection collimators (which normally receive no loss), and zones with weak shielding. PBLMs are generally single-crystal diamond detectors, except at the gun, where a scintillator on a PMT is more sensitive to the low-energy (1 MeV) beam. Long beam-loss monitors (LBLMs) use 200-m lengths of radiation-hard optical fiber, each coupled to a PMT, to capture Cherenkov light from loss showers. LBLMs protect the entire 4-km path from gun to beam dump and locate loss points. In most regions two fibers provide redundancy and view the beam from different angles. Loss signals are integrated with a 500-ms time constant and compared to a threshold; if exceeded, the beam is stopped within 0.2 ms. We report on our extensive tests of the detectors and the front-end signal processing.

WEPP025 A Transverse Deflecting Cavity Prototype for the MAX IV LINAC linac, vacuum, simulation, polarization 575

  The MAX IV LINAC operates both as a full-energy injector for two electron storage rings, and as a driver for a Short Pulse Facility (SPF). There are also plans to build Soft X-ray Laser (SXL) beamlines at the end of the existing LINAC. For SPF and SXL operation, it is important to characterize beam parameters such as bunch profile, slice energy spread and slice emittance. For these measurements, two 3 m long transverse deflecting RF structures are being developed. The structures are operating at S-band, and it is possible to adjust the polarization of the deflecting fields. In order to verify the RF concept, a short 9-cell prototype was constructed. The measurements results of the prototype are presented in this paper.

WEPP029 Virtual Pepper-Pot Technique for 4D Phase Space Measurements emittance, quadrupole, electron, coupling 586

  A novel method for 4-dimensional transverse beam phase space measurement is proposed at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) for ongoing beam coupling studies. This method is called Virtual Pepper-Pot (VPP), because key principles of the pepper-pot mask scheme are applied. The latter approach is of limited use in high-brightness photo injectors, because of technical reasons. At PITZ a slit scan method instead is the standard tool for reconstruction of horizontal and vertical phase spaces. The VPP method extends the slit scan technique with a special post-processing. The 4D transverse phase space is reconstructed from a pepper-pot like pattern that is generated by crossing each measured horizontal slit beamlet with all measured vertical slit beamlets. All elements of the 4D transverse beam matrix are calculated and applied to obtain the 4D transverse emittance, 4D kinematic beam invariant and coupling factors. The proposed technique has been applied to experimental data from the PITZ photo injector optimization for 0.5 nC bunch charge. Details of the VPP technique and results of its application will be discussed.

Electron cooler with bunched electron beam is being commissioned at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at BNL. For the cooler to operate the energies of the hadron and electron beams should be matched with high accuracy. We have developed time-of-flight technique based on the phase measurement of the beam induced signal in the beam position monitors separated by a drift. We present the method description and experimental results.
