  The use of nonlinear lattices with large betatron tune spreads can increase instability and space charge thresholds due to improved Landau damping. Unfortunately, the majority of nonlinear accelerator lattices turn out to be nonintegrable, producing chaotic motion and a complex network of stable and unstable resonances. Recent advances in finding the integrable nonlinear accelerator lattices have led to a proposal to construct at Fermilab a test accelerator with strong nonlinear focusing which avoids resonances and chaotic particle motion. This presentation will outline the main challenges, theoretical design solutions and construction status of the Integrable Optics Test Accelerator underway at Fermilab.

The Advanced Superconducting Test Acccelerator (ASTA) is being constructed at Fermilab. The existing New Muon Lab (NML) building is being converted for this facility. The accelerator will consist of an electron gun, injector, beam acceleration section consisting of 3 TTF-type or ILC-type cryomodules, multiple downstream beamlines for testing diagnostics and conducting various beam tests, and a high power beam dump. When completed, it is envisioned that this facility will initially be capable of generating a 750 MeV electron beam with ILC beam intensity. An expansion of this facility was recently completed that will provide the capability to upgrade the accelerator to a total beam energy of 1.5 GeV. Two new buildings were also constructed adjacent to the ASTA facility to house a new cryogenic plant and multiple superconducting RF (SRF) cryomodule test stands. In addition to testing accelerator components, this facility will be used to test RF power systems, instrumentation, and control systems for future SRF accelerators such as the ILC and Project-X. This paper describes the current status and overall plans for this facility.

  Several families of nonlinear accelerator lattices with integrable transverse motion were suggested recently*. One of the requirements for the existence of two analytic invariants is a special longitudinal coordinate dependence of fields. This paper presents the particle motion analysis when a problem becomes integrable in the normalized polar coordinates. This case is distinguished from the others: it yields an exact analytical solution and has a uniform longitudinal coordinate dependence of the fields (since the corresponding nonlinear potential is invariant under the transformation from the Cartesian to the normalized coordinates). A number of interesting features are revealed: while the frequency of radial oscillations is independent of the amplitude, the spread of angular frequencies in a beam is absolute. A corresponding spread of frequencies of oscillations in the Cartesian coordinates is evaluated via the simulation of transverse Schottky noise.

Many quantum integrable systems are obtained using an accelerator physics technique known as Ermakov (or normalized variables) transformation. This technique was used to create classical nonlinear integrable lattices for accelerators and nonlinear integrable plasma traps. Now, all classical results are carried over to a nonrelativistic quantum case.

  An electron cooling method was proposed by G. Budker aproximately 50 years ago. Since the first demonstrations of strong cooling in 1972, the Novosibirsk Institute of Nuclear Physics has continued to develop this technique for various machines with increasingly higher energy beams. Recent application of the e-cooling method at LEIR appeared as a crucial application for a high luminosity achieved in lead-lead ion beam collisions at LHC. This talk should describe the fundamental mechanism of strong cooling, describe historical progress at the BINP and present recent results achieved at the LHC. New 2MeV cooler for COSY ring under commissioning just now at BINP.

  A power coupler has been designed and built at Argonne National Laboratory for use with the Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) 162.5 MHz superconducting (SC) half-wave cavities. The 50 Ω coaxial capacitive coupler will be required to operate CW with up to 10 kW of forward power under any condition for the reflected power. A key feature is a moveable copper plated stainless steel bellows which will permit up to 3 cm of axial stroke and adjustment of Qext by roughly one order of magnitude in the range of 10-5 to 10-6. The mechanical and vacuum design will include two ceramic windows, one operating at room temperature and another at 70 Kelvin. The two window design allows the portion of the coupler assembled to the SC cavity in the clean room to be compact and readily cleanable. We present other design features including thermal intercepts to provide a large margin for RF heating and a mechanical guide assembly to operate cold and under vacuum with high reliability.

We have developed an optimized electromagnetic and mechanical design of a 162.5 MHz half-wave resonator (HWR) suitable for acceleration of high-intensity proton or H-minus beams in the energy range from 2 MeV to 10 MeV. The cavity design is based on recent advances in SRF technology for TEM-class structures being developed at ANL. Highly optimized EM parameters were achieved by adjusting the shapes of both inner and outer conductors. This new design will be processed with a new HWR horizontal electropolishing system after all mechanical work on the cavity including the welding of the helium jacket is complete. The prototype HWR is being fabricated by domestic vendors under ANL’s supervision.

A concept for a two-stage injection-locked CW magnetron intended to drive Superconducting Cavities (SC) for intensity-frontier accelerators has been proposed. The concept is based on a theoretical model that considers a magnetron as a forced oscillator; the model has been experimentally verified with a 2.5 MW pulsed magnetron. The two-stage CW magnetron can be used as a RF power source for Fermilab’s Project-X to feed separately each of the SC of the 8 GeV pulsed linac. For Project-X the 1.3 GHz two-stage magnetron with output power of 20-25 kW and expected output/input power ratio of about 35-40 dB would operate in a quasi-CW mode with a pulse duration ≤ 10 ms and repetition rate of 10 Hz. The magnetrons for both stages should be based on the commercial prototypes to decrease the cost of the system. An experimental model of the two-stage CW S-band magnetron with peak power of 1 kW, with pulse duration of 1-10 ms, has been developed and built for study. A description of the theoretical and experimental models, simulations, and experimental results are presented and discussed in this work.

  A concept of a 650 MHz CW magnetron transmitter with fast control in phase and power, based on two-stage injection-locked CW magnetrons, has been proposed to drive Superconducting Cavities (SC) for intensity-frontier accelerators. The concept is based on a theoretical model considering a magnetron as a forced oscillator and experimentally verified with a 2.5 MW pulsed magnetron. To fulfill fast control of phase and output power requirements of SC accelerators, both two-stage injection-locked CW magnetrons are combined with a 3-dB hybrid. Fast control in output power is achieved by varying the input phase of one of the magnetrons. For output power up to 250 kW we expect the output/input power ratio to be about 35 to 40 dB in CW or quasi-CW mode with long pulse duration. All magnetrons of the transmitter should be based on commercially available models to decrease the cost of the system. An experimental model using 1 kW, CW, S-band, injection-locked magnetrons with a 3-dB hybrid combiner has been developed and built for study. A description of the model, simulations, and experimental results are presented and discussed in this work.

  High-intensity proton linacs and storage rings are essential for a) state-of-the-art neutron source user facilities, b) extending the high-energy physics intensity frontier, c) as a driver to generate pions for a future neutrino factory or muon collider, and d) for transmutation of radioactive waste and associated energy production. For example, Project X at Fermilab will deliver MW proton beams at energies ranging from 3 to 120 GeV. Nonlinear magnetic lattices with large tune spreads and with integrable*, nearly integrable** and chaotic* dynamics have been proposed to maximize dynamic aperture and minimize particle loss. We present PyORBIT*** simulations of proton dynamics in such lattices, including the effects of transverse space charge.

  This paper presents an analysis of beam losses along the current design of the FNAL 3 GeV superconducting cw linac. Simulations from the RFQ exit up to the end of the linac (~430 meters) are performed on the FermiGrid using the beam dynamics code TRACK. The impact of beam mismatch, element misalignments, and RF jitter on the beam dynamics is discussed and corresponding beam loss patterns are presented. A correction scheme to compensate for misalignments is described.

  The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) will serve as a prototype for the Project X front end. The aim is to validate the Project-X design and to decrease technical risks, known to be mainly related to the front end. PXIE will accelerate a 1 mA CW beam to about 25 MeV. It will consist of an ion source, LEBT, CW RFQ, MEBT, two SC cryomodules, a diagnostic section and a beam dump. A bunch-by-bunch chopper located in the MEBT section will allow formation of an arbitrary bunch structure. PXIE deviates somewhat from the current Project-X front end concept in that it provides additional instrumentation and relies on a reduced number of kickers for bunch chopping; the diagnostic section also include an RF separator to allow studying extinction of removed bunches. The paper discusses the main requirements and constraints motivating the facility layout and optics. Final adjustments to the Project X front end design, if needed, will be based on operational experience gained with PXIE.

  A multi-MW proton facility, Project X has been proposed and is currently under development at Fermilab. As part of this development program, we are constructing a prototype of the front end of the Project X linac at Fermilab. The construction and successful operations of this facility will validate the concept for the Project X front end, thereby minimizing the primary technical risk element within the Project. The Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE) can be constructed over the period FY12-16 and will include an H− ion source, a CW 2.1-MeV RFQ and two SC cryomodules providing up to 30 MeV energy gain at an average beam current of 1 mA. Successful operations of the facility will demonstrate the viability of novel front end technologies that will find applications beyond Project X in the longer term.

Project X is a multi-megawatt proton facility being developed to support a world-leading program in Intensity Frontier physics at Fermilab. The facility is designed to support programs in elementary particle and nuclear physics, with possible applications to nuclear energy research. A Functional Requirements Specification has been developed in order to establish performance criteria for the Project X complex in support of these multiple missions, and to assure that the facility is designed with sufficient upgrade capability to provide U.S. leadership for many decades to come. This paper will describe the Functional Requirements for the Project X facility, their recent evolution, and the rationale for these requirements.

  Superconducting CW linac was proposed for Project X to accelerate H− beam from 2.1 MeV to 3 GeV with nominal peak and average currents of respectively 5 mA and 1 mA. Linac built of 5 different families of resonators: half-wave, spoke (2), and elliptical (2) working at 162.5 MHz 325 MHz and 650 MHz to cover all energy range. Cavities and focusing elements are assembled in cryomodules. In baseline design all cryomodules are separated by short warm sections. It makes machine more reliable and maintainable and provide space for beam diagnostics and collimation. A long (~10m) gap between cryomodules at1 GeV is also being considered to provide space for beam extraction for nuclear experimental program. In paper we present the latest lattice of the linac baseline design and results of beam studies for this lattice. We briefly compare performance of the baseline design with alternative one without half-wave resonator section.

A multi-MW proton facility, Project X has been proposed and is currently under development at Fermilab. Project X is a key accelerator complex for intensity frontier of future high energy physics programs in the US. In collaboration with Fermilab, LBNL takes the responsibility in the development and design studies of the front-end system for Project X. The front-end system would consist of H− ion source(s), low-energy beam transport (LEBT), 162.5 MHz normal conducting CW Radio-Frequency-Quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator, medium-energy beam transport (MEBT), and beam chopper(s). In this paper, we will review and present recent progress of the front-end system studies, which will include the RFQ beam dynamics design, RF structure design, thermal and mechanical analyses and fabrication plan, LEBT simulation studies and concept for LEBT chopper.
