A horizontal beam profile monitor utilizing visible synchrotron radiation from a bending magnet has been designed and installed in CESR. The monitor employs a double-slit interferometer which has been successfully implemented to measure horizontal beam sizes over a wide range of beam currents. By varying the separation of the slits, beam sizes ranging from 50 to 500 microns can be measured with a resolution of approximately 5 microns. The method for extracting the horizontal beam size from the interference pattern is presented and its application to intrabeam scattering studies is described. A configuration for measuring the small vertical beam size is also discussed.

We describe the conceptual design of the vacuum system for the damping rings of the International Linear Collider. The design incorporates a range of techniques to suppress the development of the electron cloud (EC) in the positron ring. These techniques include coatings with low secondary electron yield (SEY), grooved chambers, clearing electrodes and antechambers for photoelectron control. The EC mitigation choices are based on the ILC Electron Cloud R&D program, which has been conducted at the Cornell Electron-Positron Storage Ring Test Accelerator (CesrTA) and at other collaborating institutions*. The conceptual designs for vacuum chambers in drifts, dipoles, wigglers and quadrupoles are presented.

We report modeling results for electron cloud buildup in the ILC damping ring lattice design. Updated optics, wiggler magnet, and vacuum chamber designs have recently been developed for the 5-GeV, 3.2-km racetrack layout. An analysis of the synchrotron radiation profile around the ring has been performed, including the effect of photon scattering on the interior of the vacuum chamber. Operational implications of the resulting electron cloud buildup will be discussed.

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring Test Accelerator program includes investigations into electron cloud buildup in vacuum chambers with various coatings. Two 1.1-m-long sections located symmetrically in the east and west arc regions are equipped with BPM-like pickup detectors shielded against the direct beam-induced signal. They detect cloud electrons migrating through an 18-mm-diameter pattern of holes in the top of the chamber. A digitizing oscilloscope is used to record the signals, providing time-resolved information on cloud development. We present new measurements of the effect of beam conditioning on a newly-installed amorphous carbon coated chamber, as well as on a diamond-like carbon coating. The ECLOUD modeling code is used to quantify the sensitivity of these measurements to model parameters, differentiating between photoelectron and secondary-electron production processes.

The baseline damping ring lattice design for the International Linear Collider employs nearly 60 2.2-m-long superconducting wiggler magnets to provide the damping necessary to achieve the specified horizontal emittance. We describe the OPERA-based finite-element model developed for the 14-pole, 30-cm period, 7.62-cm gap superferric design which meets the 2.1 T peak field requirement. Transfer functions and field uniformity results are discussed. We present results for the accuracy of the optimized analytic model needed for symplectic tracking algorithms, as well as implications for the updated engineering design.

The baseline design for the International Linear Collider damping rings is a 3.2 km circumference racetrack, with 5 GeV beam energy. The transverse damping time is 26 ms and the normalized horizontal emittance 5 mm-mrad. Nearly 60 2.2-m-long superconducting wigglers per ring increase the radiation damping rate by an order of magnitude and reduce horizontal emittance by a factor of 5. We characterize the sensitivity to magnet misalignments and field errors, and establish the minimum numbers of corrector magnets and beam position monitors required for tuning vertical emittance to less than 20 nm-rad. We validate the specified tolerable guide field multipole errors consistent with adequate dynamic aperture. Tune scans are used to identify stable working points. In tracking studies we use a wiggler model based on fits to 3-dimensional field maps.

Intrabeam scattering dilutes the emittance of low energy, low emittance rings. Because CesrTA can be operated at low energies with low transverse emittances and high bunch intensity, it is an ideal laboratory for the study of IBS effects. Furthermore, CesrTA is instrumented for accurate beam size measurements in all three dimensions, providing the possibility of a complete determination of the intensity dependence of emittances. Models based on classical IBS theories and multi-particle simulations are used to estimate the effect of IBS at CesrTA at different beam emittances, intensities and energies. The first measurements from machine studies at CesrTA are presented.

Electron clouds can adversely affect the performance of accelerators, and are of particular concern for the design of future low emittance damping rings. Studies of the impact of electron clouds on the dynamics of bunch trains in CESR have been a major focus of the CESR Test Accelerator program. In this paper, we report measurements of coherent tune shifts, emittance growth, and coherent instabilities carried out using a variety of bunch currents, train configurations, beam energies, and transverse emittances, similar to the design values for the ILC damping rings. We also compare the measurements with simulations which model the effects of electron clouds on beam dynamics, to extract simulation model parameters and to quantify the validity of the simulation codes.

Electron cloud-induced beam dynamics is being studied at CESRTA under various conditions. These measurements detect the the coherent self-excited spectrum for each bunch within a train and bunch-by-bunch beam size. In the position spectrum coherent betatron dipole and head-tail motion is detectable for each individual bunch within the train with a sensitivity for the motion of 1.1 (2) microns-rms in the vertical (horizontal) direction for a 1 mA bunch current. These techniques are utilized to study the electron cloud-related interactions, which cause the growth of coherent motion and beam size along the train. We report on the observations and results from studies of the instability growth vs. changes in chromaticity, the current per bunch and the length of the train.

Over the course of the CESRTA program at Cornell, Retarding Field Analyzers (RFAs) have been installed in drift, dipole, quadrupole, and wiggler field regions of the CESR storage ring. RFAs are used to measure the local electron cloud flux on the vacuum chamber wall. Through the use of a retarding grid and segmented collectors, they also provide information on the energy and transverse distribution of the cloud. Understanding these measurements on a quantitative level requires the use of cloud buildup simulation codes, adapted to include a detailed model of the structure of the RFA and its interaction with the cloud. The nature of this interaction depends strongly on the strength of the local magnetic field. We have developed models for RFAs in drift and dipole regions. The drift model has been cross-checked with bench measurements, and we have compared the RFA-adapted cloud buildup simulations with data. These comparisons have then been used to obtain best fit values for the photo-emission and secondary electron emission characteristics of some of the vacuum chamber materials and cloud mitigating coatings employed at CESRTA.

The Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) accelerator complex is used to support the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) x-ray user facility and the CESR Test Accelerator (CESRTA) ILC development program. Several hundred electro-magnetic elements as well as several thousand sensors are controlled and monitored in real-time via a Multi-Port Memory device (MPM). MPM access and control programs have used Hewlett Packard (originally DEC) Alpha and VAX computers running OpenVMS since 1988. Due to the demanding throughput, computational and storage requirements of the CESRTA experimental program, as well as a desire to upgrade to more supportable hardware, we have implemented a new Linux control cluster based on an Infortrend 10 GbE Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) storage device and the Red Hat Cluster Suite. This paper will describe the hardware and software changes required to upgrade our VMS cluster to a high availability, high performance, Linux control cluster.
