  The SPIRAL2 Facility at GANIL is based on the construction of a superconducting ion CW LINAC (up to 5 mA - 40 MeV deuteron beams and up to 1 mA - 14.5 MeV/u heavy ion beams) with 2 experimental areas called S3 and NFS. The building, the accelerator and experimental equipment studies started in 2009. For safety classified system using beam intensity monitoring, SPIRAL2 project system engineering sets up a specific reinforced process, based on V-Model, to validate, at each step, all the requirements (technical, nuclear safety, quality, reliability, interfaces…) from the functional specifications to the final validation. Since 2016, the main part of the safety devices is installed and is currently under testing. These tests which are pre-requisites to deliver the first beam will demonstrate that both functional and safety requirements are fulfilled. This contribution will describe the requirements (operation field, limitation of equipment activation¿), the technical studies, the failure mode and effects analysis, the tests, the status and results of the SPIRAL2 Machine Protection System using AC and DC current transformers to measure and control the beam intensity.

  The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will be a neutron source based on partly superconducting linac, accelerating protons to 2GeV with a peak current of 62.5mA, ultimately delivering a 5MW beam to a rotating tungsten target. For a successful tuning and operation of a linac, a Beam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system is required. The system is designed to protect the machine from beam-induced damage and unnecessary activation of the components. This contribution focuses on one of the BLM systems to be deployed at the ESS linac, namely the neutron sensitive BLM (nBLM). Recently, test of the nBLM data acquisition chain including the detector has been performed at LINAC4, at CERN. The test represents first evaluation of the system prototype in realistic environment. Results of the test will be presented together with an overview of the ESS nBLM system.

TUBO03 Challenges in Continuous Beam Profile Monitoring for MW-Power Proton Beams proton, target, extraction, experiment 253
 
  • M.L. Friend

  Continuous beam profile monitoring of the high-power proton beam is essential for protection of beamline equipment, as well as for producing high-quality physics results, in fixed-target extraction beamlines. Challenges in continuous profile monitoring include degradation of materials after long-term exposure to the proton beam, as well as beam loss due to that material intercepting the beam, which can additionally cause activation of nearby equipment. An overview of various profile monitoring techniques used in high-power neutrino extraction beamlines, issues faced so far at beam powers up to several hundred kW, and some possible future profile monitoring solutions for MW-class beamlines will be shown.

  The muon g-2/EDM experiment at J-PARC aims to measure the muon magnetic moment anomaly, a¿ and electric dipole moment, d¿ by introducing an approach excluding any electric field with measurement goal of 450 and 70 ppb for statistical and systematic uncertainty of a¿ , respectively, and sensitivity of 1.5·10-21 e¿cm for d¿. In order to achieve the precision, the beam needs to manipulated such that the X and Y components are coupled by means of skew quadrupole magnets through the transmission line. The XY coupling quality can affect the transmission and storage efficiency so that its failure causes systematic error. Since it is significant to monitor the XY coupling status during the beam operation, a non-destructive beam profile monitoring system is under development to investigate the XY coupling quality so as to reduce the source of systematic uncertainties. The device consists of stripline electrodes installed with 45 deg. rotational symmetry. It will reconstruct the coupling parameters such as skew angle and beam size by using the FFT-based algorithm. This work presents the simulation result on the reconstruction and the wire test result for the prototype device.

  The ESS high power beam will be delivered to the spallation target with high degree of control. To this end, we have designed a suite of instruments which provide measurement of the beam characteristics in a drift space a few meters from the target. Two of these instruments, the APTerure Monitor (APTM) and the GRID are presented. The APTM is designed to measure the fraction of beam going through the defined aperture; its time acquisition ranges from intra-pulse at µs sampling rate to many pulses over seconds. The GRID measures the projected horizontal and vertical profiles, sampling the pulse at 1MHz. A prototype of these two instruments has been designed and installed in the 3NBT dump line of J-PARC. They are designed to test functionality of these instruments in a similar environment as ESS. The 3NBT Dump line at J-PARC presents such an environment. In the second part of the paper we report the results and the measurements performed to test the prototypes. Before concluding we will discuss the results and propose improvements to the instruments final design.

TUPP044 Multiple Synchrotron Light Monitors for Transverse Matching and Monitoring at CEBAF emittance, synchrotron, quadrupole, alignment 439

Beam setup at the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) involves threading beam through the machine, monitoring global transfer functions to identify and address cumulative lattice errors. Transverse beam emittance may grow by as much as two orders of magnitude, mediated by synchrotron radiation. Re-matching the enlarged beam phase space into successive re-circulation arcs minimizes this emittance growth but requires knowledge of the actual beam distribution. This is now accomplished through quadrupole scans using wire profile monitors, the most time-consuming activity in our setup process. We propose to use Synchrotron Light Monitors (SLMs) to image the beam at homologous points in the four super-period recirculation arc lattices. Benefits include real-time monitoring of beam parameters and reduced elapsed time for initial setup. These SLMs will be installed in Arc 7 of the CEBAF machine, where Synchrotron Radiation contributes moderately to emittance growth. One of four required SLMs will be installed and commissioned this year, with the rest being installed next year.

WEPP006 Operational Performance of New Detection Electronics for Stripline-Type Beam Position Monitors at the SuperKEKB Injector Linac linac, quadrupole, operation, emittance 522

  SuperKEKB injector linac delivers four different beam modes modulated pulse by pulse at 50 Hz, which have 100-times different beam charges, and a pulse may contain two bunches only 96-ns apart. Required low-emittance beams for SuperKEKB rings would need precise beam orbit controls in order to suppress the transverse wakefield in the accelerating structures. A new detection electronics with a wide dynamic range of 40 dB with a high resolution based on a 180-MHz narrow-band detection technique for stripline-type beam position monitors (BPMs) has been developed for the SuperKEKB injector linac. While such measurement condition is challenging, a position resolution of 3 micrometer in one standard deviation was successfully achieved with beam-based tests. The self-calibration system is also installed in order to compensate gain drifts for each input channel with an accuracy down to 0.1%, by using test pulses going through stripline heads between 50-Hz beam pulses. The design concept of the new detection electronics is described in detail, as well as operational performance of synchronized measurement with 100 BPMs for injection beams to four electron/positron storage rings.

  In this work, we present extensive theoretical and experimental results of novel Silicon Carbide x-ray sensors for beam position monitoring (XBPM). Until recently, diamond, was considered the material-of-choice for continuous monitoring of hard (>6keV) x-ray beams at synchrotron light sources. Diamond XBPM are now commercially available as single crystal* and polycrystalline** sensors. However, in a recently published paper***, we have shown that Silicon Carbide is superior to both diamond crystal types in several critical aspects. Specifically, we found superior electrical characteristics (sensor dynamics, signal uniformity, signal strength) and superior optical properties (full device transparency, device active area, signal strength) when compared to commercial polycrystalline and single crystal diamond, respectively. We also succeeded in the ¿industrialization¿ of the SiC fabrication process, allowing for the simultaneous realization of several (>40) sensors in up to 4¿ SiC wafers, with high yields. More recently we have also analyzed the fluorescence of SiC sensors as compared to YAG ones, finding that SiC can also be used for hybrid position/shape monitoring schema.
