MOPD08 | Beam Diagnostics in the J-PARC Linac for ACS Upgrade | linac, diagnostics, pick-up, simulation | 50 |
|
|||
J-PARC had developed the beam diagnostic devices for the current J-PARC linac and has used them since the operation start. J-PARC linac began the energy upgrade project since 2009 and 21 ACS cavities will be installed. In this project, many cavities and related devices are newly installed in the ACS section and its downstream part. Because the beam parameters are updated, new beam diagnostic devices are fabricated and current diagnostic devices are developed. Beam position monitors (BPM) are newly designed and fabricated, based on the computer simulation and bench test. Because the gas proportional BLMs as the current BLM are sensitive to background noise of X-ray emitted from RF cavities, it is difficult to recognize real beam loss. We need to subtract an X-ray noise from the signal from BLM, another candidate BLMs have been tried to measure the beam loss. In addition, the bunch shape monitor for the longitudinal tuning has been developed in the corroboration with the institute for nuclear research, Russia. In this paper, we describe the new developed devices and their development process, especially for beam loss monitor and the developing bunch shape monitor. | |||
MOPD69 | Tune Measurements with High Intensity Beams at SIS-18 | injection, monitoring, emittance, diagnostics | 206 |

Funding: This work is supported by DITANET (novel DIagnostic Techniques for future particle Accelerators: A Marie Curie Initial Training NETwork), Project Number ITN-2008-215080 To achieve high current operation close to the space charge limit in a synchrotron, a precise tune measurement during a full accelerating cycle is required. A tune measurement system that was recently commissioned at GSI synchrotron SIS-18 allows for online evaluation of the actual tune. This system consists of three distinct parts; an exciter which provides power to excite coherent betatron oscillations of the beam. The BPM signals thus induced are digitized by fast ADCs at 125 MSa/s and then the post processing electronics integrates the data bunch by bunch to obtain one position value per bunch. Subsequently base band tune is determined by Fourier transformation of the position data. The tune variation during acceleration for various beam conditions was measured using this system and is discussed. A detailed investigation of the incoherent tune shift was conducted with Uranium ion beams at the injection energy of 11.6 MeV/u. The results show the influence of beam current on the tune spectrum. In addition, the effects of the measurement method on the beam emittance and beam losses are discussed. |

TUPD64 | Test Measurements of a 20 m/s Carbon Wire Beam Scanner | vacuum, controls, simulation, feedback | 452 |
|
|||
This paper presents the design of the actuator for the fast and high accuracy Wire Scanner system. The actuator consists of a rotary brush-less synchronous motor with the permanent magnet rotor installed inside the vacuum chamber and the stator installed outside. The fork, permanent magnet rotor and two angular position sensors are mounted on the same axis and located inside the beam vacuum chamber. The system has to resist a bake-out temperature of 200°C and ionizing radiation up to tenths of kGy/year. Maximum wire travelling speed of 20 m/s and a position measurement accuracy of 4 μm is required. Therefore, the system must avoid generating vibration and electromagnetic interference. A digital feedback controller will allow maximum flexibility for the loop parameters and feeds the 3-phase linear power driver. The performance of the presented design is investigated through simulations and experimental tests. | |||
TUPD74 | The Bunch by Bunch Feedback System in J-PARC Main Ring | feedback, injection, kicker, proton | 482 |
|
|||
We report the current status of the bunch by bunch feedback system for the J-PARC Main Ring. The J-PARC Main Ring is the synchrotron accelerating protons from 3 GeV to 30 GeV. It is normally operating at the intensity of 135 kW. The bunch by bunch feedback system have been developed and used for the normal operation of J-PARC Main Ring. The system aims to reduce the coherent transverse oscillation due to the instabilities or injection errors. It consists of a beam position monitor, a stripline kicker and a signal processing electronics. We've observed the injection error leading to the head-tail oscillation and succeed in damping such kind of oscillations and reducing the beam loss significantly. | |||
