MOEPPB004 | A Compact Ring Design with Tunable Momentum Compaction | damping, dynamic-aperture, quadrupole, emittance | 82 |
|
|||
A storage ring with tunable momentum compaction has the advantage in achieving different RMS bunch length with similar RF capacity, which is potentially useful for many applications, such as linear collider damping ring and pre- damping ring where injected beam has a large energy spread and a large transverse emittance. A tunable bunch length also makes the commissioning and fine tuning easier in manipulating the single bunch instabilities. In this paper, a compact ring design based on a supercell is presented, which achieves a tunable momentum compaction while maintaining a large dynamic aperture. | |||
MOEPPB014 | Time Jitter Measurements in Presence of a Magnetic Chicane in the FERMI@elettra Linac | electron, linac, FEL, laser | 109 |
|
|||
Accurate and highly stable temporal synchronization between an electron bunch and a pulse from an external seed laser is one of the key requirements for successful operation of a seeded FEL in the XUV and soft x-ray regime. These requirements become more stringent when the electron bunch is longitudinally compressed to sub-ps durations in order to increase the current for more efficient FEL action. In this paper we present experimental measurements of the electron bunch arrival time jitter after the first magnetic compressor of FERMI@Elettra seeded FEL as a function of the compression factor. The experimental behavior of the pulse-to-pulse time jitter agrees both with results from tracking code simulations and with predictions from an analytical approach that takes into account the different sources of time jitter in FERMI, namely the photoinjector drive laser, the RF accelerating cavity phases and voltages, and fluctuations in the chicane bending magnet currents. We also present predictions for the expected arrival time jitter in the final configuration of FERMI that includes two bunch compressors and for which the synchronization requirement is of order 100 fs or better. | |||
MOPPC001 | Simulation of electron-cloud heat load for the cold arcs of the large hadron collider | electron, simulation, injection, photon | 115 |
|
|||
The heat load due to the electron cloud in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) cold arcs is a concern for its performance near and beyond nominal beam current. We report the results of simulation studies, which examine the electron-cloud induced heat load for different values of low-energy electron reflectivity and secondary emission yield at injection energy, as well as at beam energies of 4 TeV and 7 TeV, for two different bunch spacing: 25 ns and 50 ns. Benchmarking the simulations against heat-load observations at different beam energies and bunch spacing allows an estimate of the secondary emission yield in the cold arcs of the LHC and of its evolution as a function of time. | |||
MOPPC009 | Multipactor for E-cloud Diagnostics | electron, resonance, cyclotron, vacuum | 139 |
|
|||
Electron cloud in particle accelerators can be mitigated by coating the vacuum beam pipe with thin films of low secondary electron yield (SEY). SEY of small samples can be measured in the laboratory. Verifying the performance of long pipes is more complex, since it requires their insertion in the accelerator and the subsequent measurement of the beam induced pressure rise. RF induced multipacting in a coaxial waveguide configuration is proposed as a test before insertion in the machine. The technique is applied to two main bending dipoles of the SPS, where the RF power is fed though a tungsten wire stretched along the vacuum chamber (6.4 m). A dipole with a bare stainless steel chamber shows a clear power threshold initiating an abrupt rise in reflected power and pressure. The effect is enhanced at RF frequencies corresponding to cyclotron resonances for given magnetic field. Preliminary result show that the dipole with a carbon coated vacuum chamber does not exhibit any pressure rise or reflected RF power up to the maximum available input power. In the event of a large scale coating production this technique will be a valuable resource for quality control. | |||
MOPPC016 | Combined Ramp and Squeeze at the Large Hadron Collider | optics, injection, quadrupole, collider | 157 |
|
|||
In the first two years of operation of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the betatron squeeze has been carried out at constant flat top energy of 3.5 TeV. Squeeze setting functions are separated from the energy ramp functions. This ensured a maximum flexibility during commissioning because stopping at all intermediate optics for detailed measurements was possible. In order to then improve the efficiency of the operational cycle, combining the ramp and squeeze has been considered. In this paper, the various possibilities for this scheme are reviewed, and proposals of optimized operational cycles with combined ramp and squeeze are presented for different energies. Results of beam tests are also discussed. | |||
MOPPC028 | Coherent Beam-Beam Effects Observation and Mitigation at the RHIC Collider | emittance, simulation, damping, coupling | 193 |
|
|||
Funding: Work partially supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LARP, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. In polarized proton operation in RHIC coherent beam-beam modes are routinely observed with beam transfer function measurements in the vertical plane. With the existence of coherent modes a larger space is required in the tune diagram than without them and stable conditions can be compromised for operation with high intensity beams as foreseen for future luminosity upgrades. We report on experiments and simulations carried out to understand the existence of coherent modes in the vertical plane and their absence in the horizontal plane, and investigate possible mitigation strategies. |

MOPPC032 | Injection and Broadband Matching for the PRISM Muon FFAG | injection, betatron, solenoid, target | 202 |
|
|||
The next generation of lepton flavor violation experiments requires high intensity and high quality muon beams. Such conditions can be met using phase rotation of short muon pulses in an FFAG ring, as was proposed for the PRISM project. The very large initial momentum spread and transverse emittance of the muon beam poses a significant challenge for the injection system into the PRISM FFAG. Also, the matching optics between the solenoidal transfer channel and the ring needs to create a specific orbit excursion in the horizontal plane, suppress any vertical dispersion and produce good betatron conditions in both planes. Candidate geometries for the matching and injection systems are presented and their performances are tested in tracking studies. | |||
MOPPC042 | Higgs Boson Muon Collider Factory: h0, A, H Studies | collider, factory, solenoid, simulation | 226 |
|
|||
With the recent hints of the Higgs boson from the LHC and a mass near 125 GeV/c we re-propose to study and build a muon collider Higgs factory to study the Higgs in the S channel. This was first proposed in 1992 by the first author. It is essential to study the Higgs boson for clues to new physics. The formation of the DOE MAP program, recent advances in 6D μ cooling methods, simulation, and targeting make this a feasible project to initiate at this time. This collider would fit into the FNAL site. | |||

An achromat-based cooing ring using dipoles and solenoids is introduced and it can cool muons by large factors in six dimensions to achieve the necessary luminosity for a muon collider. The ring is designed with sufficient space in each superperiod for injection and extraction magnets. We estimate the parameters for the injection system into the solenoid-dipole ring cooler. We also present some simulations for injection/extraction system and discuss the injection/extraction requirements*. * Al Garren, J.S. Berg, D. Cline, X. Ding, H.G.

MOPPC045 | Scaled Electron Model of a Dogbone Muon RLA with Multi-pass Arcs | linac, electron, quadrupole, optics | 235 |
|
|||
Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. Supported in part by USDOE STTR Grant DE-FG02-08ER86351. The design of a dogbone RLA with linear-field multi-pass arcs was earlier developed for accelerating muons for a future Neutrino Factory and Muon Collider. It allows for efficient use of expensive RF while the multi-pass arc design based on linear combined-function magnets exhibits a number of advantages over single pass or pulsed arc designs. Such an RLA may have applications going beyond muon acceleration. This paper describes a possible straightforward test of this concept by scaling a GeV scale muon design for electrons. Scaling muon momenta by the muon-to-electron mass ratio leads to a scheme in which a 4.35 MeV/c electron beam is injected in the middle of a 2.9 MeV/pass linac with two double-pass return arcs, and is accelerated to 17.4 MeV/c in 4.5 passes. All spatial dimensions including the orbit distortion are scaled by a factor of 7.5, which arises from scaling the 200 MHz muon RF to a readily available 1.5 GHz. The footprint of a complete RLA fits in an area of 25 by 7 m. The scheme utilizes only fixed magnetic fields including injection and extraction. The hardware requirements are not very demanding, making it feasible to utilize the existing technologies.

MOPPC053 | Modeling of Bending Magnets for SIRIUS | simulation, multipole, lattice, sextupole | 250 |
|
|||
The new Brazilian synchrotron source, Sirius, will be a 3 GeV storage ring with a triple bend lattice with a minimum emittance of 1.7 nm rad. The ring dipoles are excited with permanent magnets. The middle bend has a small 1.4 degree slice in its center with 1.94 T field and serve as an additional hard X-ray source with critical energy of 11.6 keV. Other bending magnets have low 0.50 T field with gradients, allowing for a further emittance reduction. The bending slice shows a longitudinal profile with no uniform field plateau and with long-range fringe fields which are coupled with the fields of neighbouring dipoles. To take into account the interaction of the field-intersecting dipoles, realistic 3D models of the magnets have been created and their field configuration solved using finite element techniques. Field maps calculated from the 3D magnet models were used for the construction of segmented models of bend elements in beam dynamics codes. | |||
MOPPC057 | Some Comments to Magnetic Field Representation for Beam Dynamic Calculations | multipole, quadrupole, vacuum, resonance | 262 |
|
|||
Machines with high currents and small apertures, as used for SIS100 of the FAIR project, require a sincere understanding of the resonances excited by the magnetic field distortions; typically performed by tracking codes. These codes model the field errors using a Taylor Series approximation of the field quality at the track of the ideal particle. The path of the particle within the elliptic aperture of the dipole is curved; thus the standard approach of using plane circular multipoles fails to model the real symmetry of the magnetic field, an important feature of effective field description for beam loss calculations. Therefore toroidal elliptic multipoles were developed which allow describing the magnetic field concisely in an elliptic vacuum chamber in curved dipoles and quadrupoles. In this talk we present the appropriate description and its limitation, illustrate their usefullness based on the static and transient magnetic field measurements of the first curved SIS100 dipole next to the SIS18 dipole. | |||
MOPPC063 | Computation of the 2D Transverse Wake Function of an Electron Cloud for Different Parameters | electron, simulation, lattice, wakefield | 280 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by DFG under contract number RI 814/20-2. A PIC simulation of the interaction of a positive charged bunch with an e-cloud yields the wake kick from the electrons on the tail particles of the bunch. The wake is induced from a certain offset in the transverse position of the head parts of the bunch which perturb the electron distribution. Such a pre-computed wake functions of each offset part of the bunch are forming a matrix which could be used for investigating single bunch stability under several assumptions. In this paper we investigate the linear scalability of the kick with the offset value. Furthermore we investigate the wake values for different realistic electron densities. Another important parameter for realizing the single bunch stability simulation is the optimal number of bunch slices in longitudinal direction. Here we study the thickness of the slices in conjunction with the mobility of the electrons around the beam axis. |

MOPPC081 | Simulation of RF Cavity Dark Current in Presence of Helical Magnetic Field | electron, cavity, simulation, site | 325 |
|
|||
In order to produce muon beam of high enough quality to be used for a Muon Collider, its large phase space must be cooled several orders of magnitude. This task can be accomplished by ionization cooling. Ionization cooling consists of passing a high-emittance muon beam alternately through regions of low-Z material, such as liquid hydrogen, and very high accelerating RF cavities within a multi-Tesla solenoidal focusing channel. But first high power tests of an RF cavity with beryllium windows in a solenoidal magnetic field showed a dramatic drop in accelerating gradient due to RF breakdowns. It has been concluded that external magnetic fields parallel to the RF electric field significantly modifies the performance of RF cavities. However, the magnetic field in a Helical Cooling Channel has a strong dipole component in addition to a solenoidal one. The dipole component essentially changes electron motion in a cavity compared to a pure solenoidal case, making dark current less focused at field emission sites. The simulation of a dark current dynamic in HCC performed with CST Studio Suite is presented in this paper. | |||
MOPPD033 | Strong-focusing Cyclotron - High-current Applications | cyclotron, proton, focusing, cavity | 436 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported by grants from the State of Texas (ASE) and from the Mitchell Family Foundation. Quadrupole focusing channels are integrated into the pole faces of a superconducting sector cyclotron, to enable control of the betatron tunes for all orbits. This provision makes it possible to lock the tunes to desired values for all orbits, thereby eliminating resonance crossing and facilitating local orbit bumps for injection and extraction. Optical control is of particular importance for applications where higher beam current is desired, for ADS fission drivers, for spallation neutron sources, and for medical isotope production. |

MOPPD041 | Beam Loss Protection for a 2.3 Megawatt LBNE Proton Beam | quadrupole, proton, power-supply, target | 454 |
|
|||
Funding: U.S. Department of Energy. Severe limits are required for allowable beam loss during extraction and transport of a 2.3 MW primary proton beam for the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) at Fermilab. Detailed simulations with the STRUCT and MARS codes have evaluated the impact of beam loss of 1.6·1014 protons per pulse at 120 GeV, ranging from a single pulse full loss to sustained small fractional loss. It is shown that localized loss of a single beam pulse at 2.3 MW will result in a destructive event: beam pipe failure, damaged magnets and high levels of residual radiation inside the tunnel. A sustained full beam loss would be catastrophic. Acceptable beam loss limits have been determined and robust solutions developed to enable efficient proton beam operation under these constraints. |

MOPPD043 | Novel Muon Beam Facilities for Project X at Fermilab | proton, target, linac, electron | 457 |
|
|||
Innovative muon beam concepts for intensity-frontier experiments such as muon-to-electron conversion are described. Elaborating upon a previous single-beam idea, we have developed a design concept for a system to generate four high quality, low-energy muon beams (two of each sign) from a single beam of protons. As a first step, the production of pions by 1 and 3 GeV protons from the proposed Project X linac at Fermilab is being simulated and compared with the 8-GeV results from the previous study. | |||
MOPPD050 | Dipole Magnet Design for a Bunch Compressor | neutron, linac, proton, focusing | 478 |
|
|||
The FRANZ-ARMADILLO is a Mobley type bunch compressor system at the pulsed intense neutron source FRANZ, under construction at Frankfurt University. The FRANZ-ARMADILLO compresses 9μbunches of a 150 mA, 2 MeV proton beam accelerated by a 175 MHz linac into one short pulse of 1 ns pulse length with 250 kHz repetition rate. In the bunch compressor, two homogeneous dipole magnets and two gradient dipole magnets guide theμbunches, separated by a 5 MHz RF-kicker on individual tracks. The flight path length of theμbunches are determined based on the bunch center velocity and the linac frequency for the longitudinal bunch compression. The gradient dipole magnets provide individual magnetic fields and edge focusing forces to everyμbunch. For the center trajectory, the required parameters are a magnetic field density of 509.2 mT, bending angle of 78.27 deg, and bending radius of 404.5 mm. To satisfy all specifications, field clamps, shims, and chamfer cut will be adopted. The result of the gradient dipole magnet design and the expected performance based on beam dynamics studies will be presented. | |||

|
|||
Within the frame of the CERN PS Booster (PSB) energy upgrade from 1.4 to 2 GeV, the PSB to PS transfer line will be adapted for pulse-to-pulse modulated operation. A modified lattice is presented including a re-design of the switching dipole between ISOLDE and PS and additional collimators to protect the PS injection septum. Optics solutions optimized for small emittance LHC beams as well as for the large emittance high-intensity beams are shown. | |||
MOPPD063 | A 180 MeV Injection System for the ISIS Synchrotron | injection, synchrotron, electron, simulation | 511 |
|
|||
The ISIS Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK produces intense neutron and muon beams for condensed matter research. It operates at 50 Hz accelerating 3x1013 protons per pulse via a 70 MeV H− linac and an 800 MeV proton synchrotron, delivering a mean beam power of 0.2 MW. A favoured first step to upgrade ISIS towards the megawatt regime is replacement of the linac with a new 180 MeV injector. Studies of this upgrade, which aims to increase mean beam power up to 0.5 MW are continuing. This paper summarises designs for a new injection region including beam dynamics and related hardware. | |||
MOPPD071 | Error Localization in RHIC by Fitting Difference Orbit | storage-ring, feedback, closed-orbit, optics | 526 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. Many errors in an accelerator are evidenced as transverse kicks to the beam, which distort the beam trajectory. Therefore, the information of the errors are imprinted in the distorted orbits, which are different from what would be predicted by the optics model. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for fitting the orbit based on an on-line optics model. We apply the algorithm to localize the location of the elusive source of vertical diurnal variations observed in RHIC, and analyze D0/Dx errors in local coupling measurement. |

Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy. A muon-to-electron conversion experiment at Fermilab is being designed to probe for new physics beyond the standard model at mass scales up to 10000 TeV*. The advance in experimental sensitivity is four orders of magnitude when compared to existing data on charged lepton flavor violation. The critical requirement of the experiment is the ability to deliver a proton beam contained in short 100-ns bunches onto a muon production target, with an inter-bunch separation of about 1700 ns. In order to insure the low level of background at the muon detector consistent with the required sensitivity, protons that reach the target between bunches must be suppressed by an enormous factor, 109. This paper describes the results of numerical modeling with STRUCT and MARS codes for a beam line with a collimation system**,*** and optics that achieves an experimental extinction factor of one per billion. * R.M.

MOPPP013 | Passive Momentum Spread Compensation by a “Wakefield Silencer” | wakefield, electron, simulation, FEL | 598 |
|
|||
Funding: DOE SBIR. We report an observation of de-chirping of a linearly chirped (in energy) electron bunch by its passage through a 5 cm long dielectric loaded waveguide structure. The experiment was conducted at the ATF facility at BNL according to a concept dubbed a wakefield silencer originally developed at the ANL AATF*, which involves defining the electron bunch peak current distribution and selecting the optimal waveguide structure suitable for chirp cancellation using self-induced wakefields of the electron bunch. Our experiment has been carried out with a 247 micron triangular beam with a 200 keV energy spread, which was reduced by a factor of three to approximately 70 keV by passing it through a 0.95 THz dielectric-lined structure. Theoretical analysis supports the experimental results. Further exploration and applications of this technique will be discussed as well. * M. Rosing, J.

MOPPP033 | Diagnostics at PITZ 2.0 Beamline: Status and New Developments | emittance, electron, diagnostics, FEL | 634 |
|
|||
The main aim of the Photo Injector Test Facility at DESY, Zeuthen (PITZ) site is to develop and test an FEL photo injector system capable of producing high charge short electron bunches of lowest possible transverse emittance to allow optimum FEL performance. The last major beamline upgrade realized in the second half of the year 2011 completed the evolution of the PITZ setup ongoing since 2005. The most recent upgrades include the installation of a new RF deflecting cavity - a prerequisite for longitudinal emittance and high resolution slice emittance measurements and installation of a new dispersive section for longitudinal phase space diagnostics of the high energy electron bunches. The paper will give an overview on electron beam diagnostics at PITZ, including the above mentioned upgrades. | |||
MOPPP034 | Simulation of the Longitudinal Phase Space Measurement with Transverse Deflecting Structure at PITZ | cavity, electron, emittance, simulation | 637 |
|
|||
The main goal of the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site, (PITZ) is the development, optimization and detailed characterization of electron sources for the short wavelength Free Electron Lasers (FELs) like FLASH and the European XFEL. For successful operation of such type of FELs the injector must provide high quality electron bunches, enough short in duration with high charge and small transverse and longitudinal emittance values. Installation of the Transverse Deflecting Structure (TDS) at PITZ will provide the possibility for detailed characterization of bunch temporal profile, bunch transverse slice emittance and longitudinal phase space. The TDS cavity is currently installed at the PITZ beamline, and commissioning of the whole TDS system is expected in the spring 2012. In the first part of the paper the basic principles of the TDS deflector are described. In the next section, simulation of measurements by TDS cavity applied to the PITZ beam parameters is presented. The temporal resolution for different types of measurements is discussed. Systematic limitations are estimated. | |||
MOPPP036 | Progress in Reducing the Back-bombardment Effect in the ITC-RF gun for t-ACTS Project at Tohoku University | cathode, electron, gun, simulation | 643 |
|
|||
An ITC (independently tunable cells) thermionic RF gun* has been developed to produce sub-picosecond electron pulses as part of the injector for coherent terahertz radiation at Tohoku University. Both experiments and simulations have shown that the back-bombardment (B.B.) effect on the LaB6 cathode is a serious issue for option. A numerical model has been developed to evaluate the temperature increase of the cathode due to B.B. in which a 2D equation for heat conduction is solved by taking the back-streaming electrons into account. Using this model we have studied the possibility of suppressing the B.B. by employing dipole field and optimization of the cathode radius, compared with experimental data. Other methods and the prospect of the RF gun will also be reported.

MOPPP052 | Booster Synchrotron for SIRIUS Light Source | booster, injection, extraction, emittance | 679 |
|
|||
A full energy 3 GeV booster for the new Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) third generation light source, SIRIUS, is proposed. The 144 m circumference magnetic lattice consists of two super-periods of FODO cells with defocusing dipoles and focusing quadrupoles. The optics provides a low emittance beam of 38 nm.rad at 3 GeV, high horizontal betatron and zero dispersion functions at straight sections. The top-up operation requires a cycling energy ramp from 150 MeV to 3 GeV with repetition rate of 1 Hz. | |||
MOPPP053 | Failure Mode Analysis in Preparation for Top-up Injection at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) | injection, storage-ring, kicker, simulation | 682 |
|
|||
Top-up injection involves injecting beam with beamline safety shutters open. Consequently it is extremely important that no electrons enter the beamlines where they could be a potential safety hazard to beamline personnel. To investigate the likelihood that electrons could exit the storage ring various failure mode simulations have been done. The approach is to account for all possible injection trajectories and show that these particles will be intercepted by various storage ring apertures before they reach an amplitude that is deemed unsafe. This amplitude was chosen to be 50 mm and the field roll-off of all storage ring magnets were defined to this amplitude. Failure modes invested included injection kicker failures, uncorrected misalignment errors, off-energy injection and shorted storage ring magnet coils. Errors that would render it impossible to store beam were not investigated. As some particles reached amplitudes beyond the safe limit measures have been devised to eliminate these unsafe scenarios. | |||

In preparation for top-off mode of the NSLS-II operations we have studied impact of errors in the dipole power supply current on the extracted beam energy, which has to be interlocked so to satisfy the safety requirements. The NSLS-II booster dipole circuits are combined into 3 independent PS circuits, which adds complexity to the analysis of the extracted beam energy limits. | |||

The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) project presents many challenges to its subsystems and the beam diagnostics in particular must perform beyond current limitations. The requirements for the CLIC main beam position monitors foresee a spacial resolution of 50 nm while delivering a 10 ns temporal resolution within the bunch train. We discuss the design of the microwave cavity pick-up and associated electronics, bench top tests with the first prototype cavity, as well as some of the machine-specific integration and operational issues. | |||

|

Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. Developments such as the low emittance NSLS-II storage ring, followed by the even lower emittance MAX-IV ring, demonstrate that the technology of storage ring light sources has not reached full maturity. Indeed, these new sources are paving the way toward realizing diffraction-limited angstrom-wavelength storage ring light sources in the not-too-distant future. Our discussion begins with a review of recent trends and developments in storage ring design. We then survey on-going work around the world to develop concepts and designs for so-called "ultimate" storage ring light sources. |

|
|||
A quarter of a century has passed since the discovery of high-temperature superconductor (HTS) materials in 1986. Although many prototype devices using HTS wires have been developed, these applications are presently rather limited in accelerator and beam line facilities. We have investigated the performance of HTS wires applied for magnets excited by alternating current (AC) as well as direct current (DC) for a decade. In order to check feasibilities of pulse magnets using HTS wire, we have fabricated a super-ferric dipole magnet to be operated by lumping currents. Upper and lower coil consists of 3 double pancakes of 200 turns. Critical currents were measured of wire measured at 77K. Self-field Ic of wire was higher than 160A. Ic values of double pancakes were 60-70A. After stacking, they were 47A and 51A for the upper and lower coil, respectively. Cooling tests were successfully done and the Ic values were measured to be 280A at 20K. Performance tests are ongoing in the pulse mode operation. | |||

TUOAC03 | Status of a Single-Aperture 11 T Nb3Sn Demonstrator Dipole for LHC Upgrades | collimation, status, magnet-design, lattice | 1098 |
|
|||
Funding: Work is supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy The planned upgrade of the LHC collimation system includes two additional collimators to be installed in the dispersion suppressor areas of points 2, 3 and 7. The necessary longitudinal space for the collimators could be provided by replacing some 8.33 T NbTi LHC main dipoles with 11 T dipoles based on Nb3Sn superconductor and compatible with the LHC lattice and main systems. To demonstrate t his possibility Fermilab and CERN have started in 2011 a joint R&D program with the goal of building by 2014 a 5.5-m long twin-aperture dipole prototype suitable for installation in the LHC. The first step of this program is the development of a 2-m long single-aperture demonstration dipole with the nominal field of 11 T at the LHC nominal current of ~11.85 kA and 60 mm bore with ~20% margin. This paper describes the design, construction and test results of the single-aperture Nb3Sn demonstrator model for the LHC collimation system upgrade. |

TUOBC03 | Experimental Measurements of e-Cloud Mitigation using Clearing Electrodes in the DAΦNE Collider | positron, vacuum, wiggler, electron | 1107 |
|
|||
Recently the electron-positron collider DAΦNE has started delivering luminosity to the KLOE-2 experiment. For this run special metallic electrodes for e-cloud clearing were installed in all the dipole and wiggler magnets of the collider positron ring. Experimental measurements of the effectiveness of the electrodes in the mitigation of the e-cloud effects in the positron beam have been done showing an impressive effectiveness of these devices in the cure of the e-cloud effects in the positron beam. In particular the electrodes allow reducing the vertical beam size increase, the growth rate of transverse instabilities and the tune shifts induced by the electron cloud. Frequency shifts measurements of the vacuum chamber resonances switching on and off the electrodes have also been done showing their effect in the reduction of the electron cloud density. In this paper we summarize the results of all our observations and the experimental measurements of the e-cloud suppression with these electrodes. | |||

TUEPPB008 | Status Report on the Iranian Light Source Facility Project | storage-ring, booster, cavity, synchrotron | 1131 |
|
|||
The Iranian Light Source Facility Project (ILSF) is a 3rd generation light source with an energy of 3 GeV,a full energy injector and a 100 MeV linac as preinjector. For storage ring, booster synchrotron and linac including the transfer lines, a draft design has been completed and will be presented. The storage ring has an emittance of 3.3 nm-rad, a circumference of 297.6 meters with an overall of 32 straight sections of different lengths. The booster synchrotron has a circumference of 197 meters and emittance of 35nm-rad. For the booster synchrotron a new lattice is proposed. The linac is a conventional 150 MeV accelerator. The different accelerator components, magnets, girders, power supplies, vacuum systems etc. are in the design phase. State of the art design for different components is employed through international collaboration. | |||
TUPPC004 | Study of a Lattice with a Lower Emittance at SOLEIL | emittance, lattice, optics, betatron | 1155 |
|
|||
The paper introduces the first preliminary feasibility study made at SOLEIL towards a possible future upgrade of the lattice in furthermore reducing the horizontal emittance, so to raise the storage ring performance. The approach taken is to employ whatever emittance reduction methods available, by respecting the given constraints on the lattice structure and the optics, particularly the circumference, insertion device straights, the required optics behavior as well as its tunability. Specifically, the possibility of introducing superbends into the double bend lattice is pursued, which are beneficial to hard X-ray users and could simultaneously help reducing the emittance thanks to its longitudinally varying field profile. Although the present study shall mainly focus on the linear properties of the optical solutions found, optimization of nonlinear optics is also discussed in view of the large dependence of the latter on the former. | |||
TUPPC006 | CW Energy Upgrade of the Superconducting Electron Accelerator S-DALINAC | recirculation, linac, simulation, extraction | 1161 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported by the DFG through SFB 634. The S-DALINAC is a superconducting recirculating electron accelerator with maximum design energy of 130 MeV operating in cw at 3 GHz. Even so the gradients of the superconducting cavities are well above design, their design quality factor of 3*109 have not been reached so far. Due to the limited cooling power of the cryo-plant being 120 W, the final energy achievable in cw operation is around 85 MeV, currently. In order to provide a cw beam with the designed final energy in the future, the installation of an additional recirculation path is projected and to be finished by 2013. We review the design constraints related to the existing beam lines, report in detail on the magnet design (being the key issue) and the lattice calculations for the additional recirculation path. |

TUPPC012 | Optics of Extraction Lines at CNAO | proton, ion, extraction, septum | 1179 |
|
|||
The CNAO (National Center for Oncological Hadrontherapy), is the first Italian center for deep hadrontherapy with proton and carbon ion beams, treating patients since fall 2011. The beam is delivered to the patient through a high energy transfer line (HEBT). The line is equipped with a horizontal switching dipole that carries the beam in three treatment rooms and a vertical switching dipole that allows a vertical delivery of the beam in the central treatment room. The CNAO HEBT commissioning has been carried out using proton and Carbon beams in the full range of energies: 60 to 250 MeV/u for protons, 120 to 400 MeV/u for Carbon ions. Optimization of the beam lines setup has been carried out for few energies, applying beam magnetic rigidity scaling for the full range in steps of the order of 1 MeV. The scaling has proven to be satisfactory for most elements, and only minor adjustments in the initial part of the line were needed to fulfill tolerances in all the range. Repeatability of magnetic settings is supported by measurements along the lines. Finally the results in terms of beam dimensions, beam transmission and beam position at the patient position are presented. | |||
TUPPC036 | Integration with the LHC of Electron Interaction Region Optics for a Ring-ring LHeC | quadrupole, proton, electron, optics | 1239 |
|
|||
The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. One design uses an electron synchrotron to collide a 60GeV e± beam with the 7TeV proton beam. Designing a new accelerator around the existing LHC machine poses unique challenges, particularly in the interaction region (IR). The electron beam must be quickly separated from the proton beam after the interaction point (IP) to avoid beam-beam effects, while not significantly reducing luminosity or producing large amounts of synchrotron radiation. The proton beam must pass through the electron optics, while the electron beam must avoid the proton optics. The long straight section requires bending in both planes to counteract the IP crossing angle and to displace the beam vertically from the electron machine to the proton IP. An achromatic bending scheme is used in the vertical plane to eliminate dispersion at the IP and provide an optics which is well matched to the LHeC ring lattice. The interaction region and long straight section design is presented and detailed, and the design process and principles discussed. | |||
TUPPC039 | Synchrotron Radiation Studies for a Ring-Ring LHeC Interaction Region and Long Straight Section | electron, proton, quadrupole, synchrotron | 1248 |
|
|||
The Large Hadron Electron Collider project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. In the design for an electron synchrotron (alternative designs for a linac are also under development), a 60GeV e± beam is collided with a 7TeV LHC proton beam to produce TeV-scale collisions. Despite being much lower energy than the proton beam, the electron beam is high enough energy to produce significant amounts of synchrotron radiation (SR). This places strong constraints on beam optics and bending. In particular challenges arise with the complex geometry required by the long straight section (LSS) and interaction region (IR). This includes the coupled nature of the proton and electron optics, as SR produced by the electron beam must not be allowed to quench the superconducting proton magnets or create problems with beam-gas backgrounds. Despite this, the electron beam must be deflected significantly within the IR to produce sufficient separation from the proton beam. | |||
TUPPC040 | Model Calibration and Optics Correction Using Orbit Response Matrix in the Fermilab Booster | booster, optics, acceleration, coupling | 1251 |
|
|||
A beam-based method of optical model calibration using the measured orbit response matrix, known as the LOCO method, was successfully applied to Fermilab's rapid-cycling Booster synchrotron. Orbit responses were measured by individually changing the strength of each dipole corrector throughout the acceleration cycle, and dispersion was measured by changing the beam's radial offset. The model calibration procedure revealed large calibration errors for all elements in the Booster's recently-installed multipole corrector packages and beam position monitors. The resulting model was used to correct coupling and beta beating. | |||

|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy A new lattice for 3 TeV c.o.m. energy with β*=5mm was developed which follows the basic concept of the earlier 1.5 TeV design* but uses quad triplets for the final focus in order to keep the maximum magnet strength and aperture about the same as in 1.5 TeV case. Another difference is employment of combined-function magnets with the goal to lower heat deposition in magnet cold mass and to eliminate regions without bending field which produce “hot spots” of neutrino radiation that can be an issue at higher energy. The proposed lattice is shown to satisfy the requirements on luminosity, dynamic aperture and momentum acceptance. * Y.Alexahin, E.Gianfelice-Wendt, A.Netepenko, Proc.

TUPPC042 | Effect of Field Errors in Muon Collider IR Magnets on Beam Dynamics | multipole, sextupole, quadrupole, dynamic-aperture | 1257 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy In order to achieve peak luminosity of a Muon Collider (MC) in the 1035/cm2/s range very small values of beta-function at the interaction point (IP) are necessary (β* ~ 5 mm) while the distance from IP to the first quadrupole can not be made shorter than ~6m as dictated by the necessity of detector protection from backgrounds. In the result the beta-function at the final focus quadrupoles can reach 100 km making beam dynamics very sensitive to all kind of errors. In the present report we consider the effects on momentum acceptance and dynamic aperture of multipole field errors in the body of IR dipoles as well as of fringe-fields in both dipoles and quadrupoles in the case of 1.5 TeV (c.o.m.) MC. Analysis shows these effects to be strong but correctable with dedicated multipole correctors. |

Funding: Work supported by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The five ac dipole design of RHIC spin flipper in the Blue ring was first commissioned during the RHIC 2012 polarized proton operation. The advantage of this design is to eliminate the vertical coherent betatron oscillations outside the spin flipper*. Spin flipping efficiency was measured with both 100 GeV and 250 GeV polarized proton beams. This paper presents the latest commissioning results. * M. Bai , T. Roser, C. Dawson, Y. Makdisi, W.

The effect of dipole faults and closed orbit correction on the beam energy is studied both analytically and numerically using the ELEGANT code. Motivated by top-off safety analysis, we consider the case of single dipole faults and study how large an error can be compensated by the closed orbit correction system before the beam is lost. |

TUPPC059 | Extraction of the Lie Map from Realistic 3D Magnetic Field Map | quadrupole, extraction, dynamic-aperture, lattice | 1308 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by Department of Energy Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886. We present a method to extract the Lie map of any arbitrary accelerator magnet from its actual 3D field map. After fitting a Taylor map from multi-particle tracking trajectories through the actual field, we factorize the map into a Lie map using Dragt-Finn's method. This method is validated by comparing with COSY-infinity for a soft-edge quadrupole model. Applications of extracting symplectic maps for the SPEAR and NSLS-II dipoles are shown as examples. A comparison of the map-tracking results against the direct field-integration-based method also is given. |

TUPPC062 | Transfer of Polarized 3He Ions in the AtR Beam Transfer Line | injection, ion, extraction, proton | 1317 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the US Department of Energy In addition to collisions of electrons with various unpolarized ion species as well as polarized protons, the proposed electron-hadron collider (eRHIC) will also facilitate the collisions of electrons with polarized 3He ions. The AGS is the last acceleration stage of ions before injection into one RHIC for final acceleration. The AtR (AGS to RHIC) transfer line will be utilized to transport the polarized 3He ions from AGS into one of the RHIC’s collider rings. In this paper we investigate the extraction energy of the polarized 3He ions from the AGS which will optimize the polarization of 3He ions injected into RHIC. Some of the peculiarities (interleaved horizontal and vertical bends) of the AtR line's layout may degrade this spin matching of the polarized 3He ions. We will also discuss possible simple modifications of the AtR line to accomplish a perfect “spin matching” of the injected 3He beam with that of the stable spin direction at the injection point of the RHIC ring. |

TUPPC067 | How to Achieve Longitudinally Polarized Electrons using Integer Spin Tune Resonances | polarization, resonance, synchrotron, electron | 1326 |
|
|||
Funding: Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung Commonly, strong solenoids are used in circular accelerators to achieve longitudinal polarization. In practice, however, these solenoids cause a phase space coupling, which has to be compensated for by sophisticated decoupling schemes. We suggest to adiabatically ramp into an integer spin tune resonance, while preserving the degree of polarization. When appropriately adjusting the driving horizontal field contributions at the final energy, the resulting polarization is longitudinal at predefined positions in the accelerator. Here, depending on the energy spread, the degree of polarization is conserved for several seconds. The contribution shows the numerical analysis of this scenario being confirmed by first demonstration tests at the ELSA stretcher ring. |

TUPPC072 | Modeling of Matching Channel for Accelerator Complexes | controls, lattice, booster, quadrupole | 1338 |

Practically modern accelerator facility can be considered as a composite machines. Therefore it is necessary to consider special matching channels to joint all accelerator components together. For such channels advance various requirements, which can be formulated in the form of criteria sets. In this paper considered a global optimization concept allows to find appropriate solutions sets. This approach is demonstrated on the problem of modeling the matching channels for NICA accelerator complex. | |||
TUPPC079 | Tracking LHC Models with Thick Lens Quadrupoles: Results and Comparisons with the Standard Thin Lens Tracking | quadrupole, lattice, simulation, optics | 1356 |
|
|||
So far, the massive numerical simulation studies of the LHC dynamic aperture were performed using thin lens models of the machine. This approach has the clear advantage of speed, but it has also the disadvantage of requiring re-matching of the optics from the real thick configuration to the thin one. Furthermore, as the figure-of-merit for the re-matching is the agreement between the beta-functions for the two model, while the quadrupole gradients are left free parameters, the effect of the magnetic multipoles might be affected by this approach and in turn the dynamic aperture computation. In this paper the new approach is described and the results for the dynamic aperture are compared with the old approach, including detailed considerations on the CPU-time requirements. | |||

|
|||
Funding: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. A key feature of the Medium-energy Electron-Ion Collider (MEIC) at Jefferson Lab is high polarization (over 80%) of the electron beam at all collision points for the particle physics program. The equilibrium electron polarization is arranged to be vertical in the arcs of the figure-8 collider ring of the MEIC and anti-parallel to the arc dipole magnetic fields, in order to take advantage of the preservation of polarization by the Sokolov-Ternov (S-T) effect. Longitudinal polarization is achieved at collision points by utilizing energy-independent universal spin rotators each of which consists of a set of solenoids and dipoles placed at the end of an arc. The equilibrium beam polarization and its lifetime depend on competition between the S-T effect and radiative depolarization. The latter must be suppressed by spin matching. This paper reports on investigations of polarization in the MEIC electron collider ring and a preliminary estimate of beam polarization from calculations using the code SLICK.

TUPPD008 | Recent Progress Toward a Muon Recirculating Linear Accelerator | linac, cryomodule, quadrupole, factory | 1422 |
|
|||
Both Neutrino Factories (NF) and Muon Colliders (MC) require very rapid acceleration due to the short lifetime of muons. After a capture and bunching section, a linac raises the energy to about 900 MeV, and is followed by one or more Recirculating Linear Accelerators (RLA), possibly followed by a Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) or Fixed-Field Alternating Gradient (FFAG) ring. A RLA reuses the expensive RF linac section for a number of passes at the price of having to deal with different energies within the same linac. Various techniques including pulsed focusing quadrupoles, beta frequency beating, and multipass arcs have been investigated via simulations to improve the performance and reduce the cost of such RLAs. | |||

Considerable progress has been made in developing promising subsystems for muon beam cooling channels to provide the extraordinary reduction of emittances required for an energy-frontier muon collider. However, it has not yet been demonstrated that the various proposed cooling subsystems can be consolidated into an integrated end-to-end design. Presented here are concepts to address the matching of transverse emittances between subsystems through an extension of the theoretical framework of the Helical Cooling Channel (HCC), which allows a general analytical approach to guide the transition from one set of cooling channel parameters to another. | |||

Several upgrade possibilities for EMMA are explored, from creating a dispersion-free region in the ring to facilitate injection and extraction to making an insertion in EMMA by turning it into a racetrack-style machine. Alternative methods of injection and extraction into the EMMA ring are explored together with their feasibility and implications. The option of developing nested racetracks to achieve a particular desired energy is also explored. | |||

A conceptual design is presented for a system consisting of the following: an electron accelerator and production target to produce positrons, a dipole magnet and wedge to compress the positron momenta to be nearly monochromatic, a magnetic transport system to focus and direct the positrons to a converter, and a converter in which the positrons annihilate in flight to produce quasi-monochromatic gamma rays. The system represented is designed to produce ~10 MeV gammas, but it can also be designed for other energies. | |||
TUPPD068 | Design of the Production and Measurement of Ultra-Short Electron Bunches from an S-band RF Photoinjector | cavity, gun, electron, laser | 1560 |
|
|||
The Electron Beam Test Facility (EBTF) is planned for installation in late 2012 at Daresbury Laboratory. An S-band RF photoinjector provides ultrashort, low emittance electron bunches up to 6 MeV. A suite of diagnostics has been designed to fully characterise the bunches. A particular focus has been on producing and measuring bunch lengths less than 100 fs. This can be achieved with a multi-cell standing wave S-band transverse deflecting cavity. Operating such a cavity with low energy electrons provides certain challenges which are discussed in this paper with respect to beam dynamic simulations. | |||

The SSRF storage ring is being investigated by upgrading with normal conducting superbend of 3 T. The bending magnets are shortened, and thus some additional straight sections with the length of about 2 m are created in the center of the arc cell. They can be used to install more insertion devices. The lattice adjustment and the optics design are presented in this paper, where much efforts are made to maintain the effective emittance along the ring with respect to the nominal optics. | |||

TUPPP076 | Soft Orbit Bumps for Duke Storage Ring VUV FEL Operation | FEL, radiation, wiggler, electron | 1774 |
|
|||
Funding: This work is supported in part by the US DoE grant # DE-FG02-97ER41033. The Duke FEL and High Intensity Gamma-ray Source (HIGS) facility is operated with an electron beam from 0.24 to 1.2 GeV and a photon beam from 190 to 1060 nm. The current range of the gamma-beam energy is from 1 MeV to about 100 MeV, with the maximum total gamma-flux of more then 1010 gammas per second around 10 MeV. Production of the high intensity, high energy gamma-beams of 60-100 MeV using UV-VUV mirrors of 240 - 190 nm requires and high energy, high current electron beams of 0.9-1.05 GeV. The radiation damage problem becomes more severe for VUV FEL operation below 190 nm. The radiation from the End-of-Arc (EOA) bending magnets, instead of the radiation from FEL wigglers, is the dominant cause of a rapid degradation of the downstream FEL mirror. In this work, we propose a number of measures to significantly reduce the radiation from these dipole magnets as well as other potential sources of synchrotron radiation toward the FEL mirror. In particular, we describe the development of an orbit bump using designated "soft" orbit correctors. The magnetic field of these correctors is limited to produce a radiation with a critical wavelength close or below the FEL wavelength. |

TUPPR006 | Design Progress and Construction Status of SuperKEKB | quadrupole, status, wiggler, klystron | 1822 |
|
|||
KEKB operation finished in June 2010, and the upgrade of KEKB to SuperKEKB has commenced. The design luminosity of SuperKEKB is 8×1035cm-2s-1, which is 40 times higher than that of KEKB. The design strategy for SuperKEKB is based on the Nano-Beam Scheme, where the vertical beam sizes of the low-energy positron ring and the high-energy electron ring are squeezed to 50−60 nm at the interaction point with a large Piwinski angle. The beam currents in both rings will be double those in KEKB. Finalizing the design of the interaction region is going on by using precise modeling of beam optics. Dismantling KEKB rings and fabrication of accelerator components for SuperKEKB including magnets, power supplies, and antechamber-type beam pipes have already started. This paper describes design progress and construction status of SuperKEKB. | |||

|
|||
Funding: Supported by DE-FG05-91ER40622 In 2001, a cost analysis was conducted to build a 233 km circumference tunnel in northern Illinois for a Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC). Here we outline the implementations of e+e−, proton anti-proton, and μ++ μ− collider rings in such a tunnel using recent technological innovations. The 500 GeV e+e− collider employs a Crab Waist Crossing, ultra low emittance damped bunches, a vertical IP focal length of 0.06 cm, 12 GV of superconducting RF, and 0.026 Tesla low coercivity, grain oriented silicon steel/concrete dipoles. The 40 TeV proton anti-proton collider uses the high intensity Fermilab anti-proton source, exploits high cross sections for proton anti-proton production of high mass states, and uses 2 Tesla 0.005% ultra low carbon steel/YBCO superconductor magnets run with liquid neon. The 40 TeV muon ring ramps the 2 Tesla superconducting magnets at 8 Hz every 0.4 seconds, uses 250 GV of superconducting RF to accelerate muons from 2 to 20 TeV in 72 orbits with 72% survival, and mitigates neutrino radiation with a phase shifting, roller coaster FODO lattice.* * G.

TUPPR015 | Choke-Mode Damped Structure Design for the CLIC Main Linac | wakefield, damping, simulation, impedance | 1840 |
|
|||
Choke-mode damped accelerating structures are being studied as an alternative to the CLIC waveguide damped baseline structure. Choke-mode structures hold the potential for much lower pulsed surface heating and reduced cost since no milling is required. We propose a new choke geometry which has significant suppression of higher order dipoles. By impedance matching and detuning of the first dipole pass-band, the wakefield suppression is comparable to the baseline design with waveguide damping. A fully featured choke mode structure with the same accelerating gradient profile and filling time as the nominal CLIC design has been designed. It has the potential to replace the waveguide damped design without changing any of the machine layout or the beam parameters. | |||
TUPPR027 | Study of Multipolar RF Kicks from the Main Deflecting Mode in Compact Crab Cavities for LHC | cavity, multipole, simulation, coupling | 1873 |
|
|||
A crab cavity system is under design in the frame work of the High Luminosity LHC project. Due to transverse space constraints on one hand and the RF frequency requirements on the other hand, the design of the crab cavities has to be compact. This results in the crab cavity shape being far from axially symmetric and, as a consequence, higher order multipolar components of the main deflecting mode are non-zero. In this paper, multipolar RF kicks from the main deflecting mode have been calculated in the compact crab cavities for LHC. They are compared to the multipolar error in magnetic elements of LHC. The influence of the RF kicks on the beam dynamics has been investigated and possible acceptable tolerances are presented. | |||
TUPPR037 | Simulations of Higher Order Modes in the ACC39 Module of FLASH | cavity, HOM, higher-order-mode, simulation | 1900 |
|
|||
This study is primarily focused on the dipole component of the multiband expansion of the wakefield, with the emphasis being on the development of a HOM-based BPM system for ACC39 currently installed and in operation at FLASH and due to be installed at XFEL . Coupled inter-cavity modes are simulated together with a limited band of trapped modes. A suite of finite element computer codes (including HFSS and ACE3P) and globalised scattering matrix calculations (GSM) are used to investigate the modes in these cavities. In this way the nature of the multi-cavity nature of these modules is investigated with implications for a HOM-based BPM system and direct comparison to experimental results. | |||
TUPPR056 | Parametric Study of the CLIC Damping Rings Delay Ring for Reaching Isochronicity Conditions | sextupole, damping, optics, quadrupole | 1948 |
|
|||
A delay ring in the CLIC damping rings complex is necessary for recombining the two trains to one with the nominal bunch separation of 0.5ns. The preservation of the longitudinal bunch distribution demands an optics design, which eliminates momentum compaction factor up to high order, allowing the delay ring to function under isochronous conditions. Taking into account thin lens approximation, a qualitative estimation of parameters of the cell that will be used in the delay ring, is given, so as to obtain isochronicity conditions. Considerations on the possibility of tuning the cell under those requirements are finally presented. | |||
TUPPR069 | Calculation of Wakefields in 17-GHz Beam-Driven Photonic Bandgap Accelerator Structure | wakefield, simulation, damping, electron | 1981 |
|
|||
We present computer simulations of the wakefields in a six cell Photonic Bandgap (PBG) structure at 17GHz. Using the commercial code CST Particle Studio, the major accelerating mode (TM01) and dipole mode (TM11) are identified. The modes are excited by passing an 18MeV electron beam through the structure. The comparisons of the wakefields in an elliptical-rod PBG structure, round-rod PBG structure, and disc-loaded waveguide structure are carried out to verify experimental results. Various parameters, such as the beam charge and position, are varied to analyze the amplitude and decay time of the wakefields in the three structures. All of the simulation results will guide the design of next generation high gradient accelerator PBG structures. | |||
TUPPR075 | Challenges for the Magnet System of LHeC | electron, quadrupole, proton, linac | 1996 |
|
|||
The main challenges for the normal conducting magnet system are the very compact, low field, and high precision magnets for the ring-ring option and their rapid installation in the crowded LHC tunnel. The superconducting triplet magnets require strong gradients for the protons in close vicinity of a field-free region for the electrons. The field requirements for the ring-ring option allow a number of different magnet designs using the well-proven Nb-Ti superconductor technology and making use of the cable development for the LHC. The separation distance between the electron and proton beams in Q1 requires a half-aperture quadrupole design to limit the overall synchrotron radiation power emitted by the bending of the electron beam. The requirements in terms of aperture and field gradient are more difficult to obtain for the Linac-Ring option. Consequently we present the limitations for the field gradient and septum size achievable with both Nb-Ti and Nb3Sn superconducting technologies. | |||

TUPPR080 | Integration of Detector into Interaction Region at MEIC | ion, solenoid, optics, electron | 2011 |
|
|||
Funding: Notice: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. The Jefferson Lab's Medium-energy Electron Ion Collider (MEIC) is proposed as a next-generation facility for the study of strong interaction (QCD). Accessing the relevant physics requires a full-acceptance detector with a dedicated small-angle high-resolution detection system capable of covering a wide range of momenta (and charge-to-mass ratios) with respect to the original ion beam. We present a design of such a detection system integrated into the collider's interaction region, in which full acceptance is attained by letting small-angle collision products pass through the nearest elements of the machine final-focusing system for further detection. The proposed design is consistent with the current collider optics and demonstrates an excellent performance in terms of detector acceptance and resolution.

TUPPR085 | Recycler Chromaticities and End Shims for NOvA at Fermilab | lattice, sextupole, quadrupole, dynamic-aperture | 2023 |
|
|||
In era of NOvA operation, it is planned to slip-stack six on six Booster proton batches in the Recycler ring for a total intensity of 5×1013 protons/cycle. During the slip-stacking, the chromaticities are required to be jumped from (-2,-2) to (-20,-20). However, they can only be adjusted to (-12,-12) from (-2,-2) using existing 2 families of powered sextupoles. On the other hand, the presently designed Recycler lattice for Nova replaces the 30 straight section with 8 “D-D half FODO cells”. We use 3 quads in a half-cell to obtain the working point under the limit of the feasible quad strength, and the maximum beta-function in this section cannot be less than 80 m. In this paper, we re-designed the end shims of the permanent magnets in the ring lattice with appropriate quadrupole and sextupole components to meet both chromaticity and tune requirements. We are able to use 2 quads in a half cell in RR30 straight section within feasible quad strength. The maximum beta-functions are also lowered to around 55 m. The dynamic aperture tracking has been done using MAD to simulate the scenario of beam injection into the Recycler ring for Nova. | |||
WEYA02 | Studies at CesrTA of Electron-Cloud-Induced Beam Dynamics for Future Damping Rings | electron, simulation, emittance, damping | 2081 |

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. |

WEOBA01 | Construction Progress of the RHIC Electron Lenses | electron, solenoid, gun, proton | 2125 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE under contract No DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. In polarized proton operation, the RHIC performance is limited by the head-on beam-beam effect. To overcome these limitations two electron lenses are under construction. We give an overview of the progress over the last year. Guns, collectors and the warm electron beam transport solenoids with their associated power supplies have been constructed. The superconducting solenoids that guide the electron beam during the interaction with the proton beam are near completion. A test stand has been set up to verify the performance of gun, collector and some of the instrumentation. The RHIC infrastructure is being prepared for installation, and simulations continue to optimize the performance. |

WEEPPB010 | RF Modeling Using Parallel Codes ACE3P for the 400-MHz Parallel-Bar/Ridged-Waveguide Compact Crab Cavity for the LHC HiLumi Upgrade | damping, cavity, HOM, impedance | 2185 |
|
|||
Funding: Work partially supported by the US DOE through the US LHC Accelerator Research Program (LARP), and by US DOE under contract number DE-AC02-76SF00515. Schemes utilizing crab cavities to achieve head-on beam-beam collisions were proposed for the LHC HiLumi upgrade. These crabbing schemes require that the crab cavities be compact in order to fit into the tight spacing available in the existing LHC beamlines at the location where the crab cavities will be installed. Under the support of US LARP program, Old Dominion University and SLAC have joint efforts to develop a 400-MHz compact superconducting crab cavity to meet the HiLumi upgrade requirements. In this paper, we will present the RF modeling and analysis of a parallel-bar/ridged-waveguide shaped 400-MHz compact cavity design that can be used for both the horizontal and vertical crabbing schemes. We will also present schemes for HOM damping and multipacting analysis for such a design. |

WEEPPB013 | Direct Wind Superconducting Corrector Magnets for the SuperKEKB IR | quadrupole, octupole, background, multipole | 2191 |
|
|||
Upgrade of the KEKB asymmetric e+e− collider for a forty-fold luminosity increase, denoted SuperKEKB, is now underway. For SuperKEKB the beam crossing angle is increased to provide separate focusing channels for the incoming and outgoing electron and positrons beams in new superconducting Interaction Region (IR) magnets. Two functional classes of superconducting corrector magnets are needed to meet SuperKEKB beam optics goals. Dipole, skew-dipole, skew-quadrupole and octupole coil windings will be inserted inside the bores of the main IR quadrupoles to make magnet center alignments, roll adjustments and non-linear optics corrections. A second class of high-order magnetic multipole corrector coils is needed to compensate the non-linear fringe field experienced by the circulating beam that passes just outside the main quadrupole coils that are closest to the Interaction Point (IP). Near the IP there is no space for magnetic yokes or other passive shielding to diminish the fringe field. At the time of this conference the SuperKEKB corrector magnet production will be under way. The SuperKEKB correction coil design and our production technique are reviewed in this paper. | |||
WEEPPB014 | The Magnetic Model of the LHC during the 3.5 TeV Run | quadrupole, injection, controls, optics | 2194 |
|
|||
The magnetic model of the LHC is based on a fit of the magnetic measurements through equations that model the field components (geometric, saturation, persistent) at different currents. In this paper we will review the main results related to the magnetic model during the run of the LHC in 2010-2011: with a top energy of 3.5 TeV, all components of the model but the saturation are visible. We first give an estimate of the reproducibility of the main components and multipolar errors as they can be deduced from beam measurements, i.e. orbit, tune, chromaticity, beta beating and coupling. We then review the main results relative to the decay at injection plateau, dependence on powering history, and snapback at the beginning of the ramp for both tune and chromaticity. We discuss the precision obtained in tracking the magnets during the ramp, where the persistent current components gradually disappear. We conclude by presenting the behaviour of the quadrupoles model during the squeeze. A list of the major changes implemented during the operation together with what are considered as the main open issues is given. | |||

|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. A single-cell superconducting deflecting cavity operating at 2.812 GHz has been proposed and designed for the Short Pulse X-ray (SPX) project for the Advanced Photon Source upgrade. A cryomodule of 4 such cavities will be needed to produce the required 2-MV deflecting voltage. Each deflecting cavity is equipped with one fundamental power coupler (FPC), one lower order mode (LOM) coupler, and two higher order mode (HOM) couplers to achieve the stringent damping requirements for the unwanted modes. The damping of the HOM/LOM modes below the beampipe cutoff has been analyzed in the single cavity geometry and shown to meet the design requirements. The HOMs above beam pipe cutoff in the 4-cavity cyromodule, however, may result in cross coupling which may affect the HOM damping and potentially trapped modes between the cavities which could produce RF heating to the beamline bellows and even be detrimental to the beam. We have evaluated the HOM damping and trapped modes in the 4-cavity cryomodule using the parallel finite element EM code ACE3P developed at SLAC. We will present the results of the cryomodule analysis in this paper. |

WEPPC087 | Second Harmonic Cavity Design for Project-X Main Injector | cavity, simulation, HOM, impedance | 2417 |
|
|||
In order to accelerate the proposed beam intensity for Project-X, a new RF system for Main Injector (MI) will be required. A new 53 MHz first harmonic RF cavity that meets the MI requirements for Project-X has been designed. In order to reduce the peak longitudinal beam density a 106 MHz second harmonic RF system is also needed. The first harmonic RF cavity design is a quarter wave coaxial resonator with a single accelerating gap and a perpendicular biased ferrite tuner. The second harmonic RF cavity baseline design is similar to the fundamental one and scaled down from it. RF simulations and shape optimizations on the second harmonic cavity are carried out to obtain the optimal performance which meets Project-X requirements. The results are discussed and presented in this paper. | |||
WEPPD011 | Study of the Pressure Profile Inside the NEG Coated Chambers of the SIS 18 | vacuum, simulation, quadrupole, ion | 2519 |
|
|||
In the context of the technical developments for the construction of FAIR at GSI, an intensive programme for the vacuum upgrade of the existing SIS 18 was started in 2005, with the aim to improve the beam lifetime and intensity. To reach these purposes also the installation of NEG coated dipole and quadrupole chambers is foreseen. During the upgrade shutdowns performed between 2006 and 2009 the vacuum chambers of approximately 65% of the SIS18 circumference were replaced by NEG coated pipes. To evaluate in detail the pressure profile inside the coated chambers mounted into the accelerator a dedicated experimental set-up, which reproduces a vacuum environment similar to the one of the SIS 18, was built. Using three gauges, mounted in different positions of a coated chamber, it was possible to measure the pressure in the range of 10-12 mbar inside the activated NEG pipe and 10-11 mbar outside the pipe at the pumping posts. Additionally, a modelling of a SIS18 vacuum sector was realised and the pressure variation values obtained by a Monte-Carlo simulation were compared with those measured. In this paper the experimental results and the vacuum simulations are described and discussed. | |||

The monitored power quality data at the point of common coupling is examined and compared with industrial standards.

Furthermore, the approach to mitigate the harmonic effects for improving the power quality is studied. | |||
WEPPD079 | Measurements of Magnetic Permeability of Soft Steel at High Frequencies | impedance, booster, vacuum, damping | 2711 |
|
|||
The Fermilab Booster does not have a vacuum chamber which would screen the beam from laminations its dipoles cores. Therefore the booster impedance is mainly driven by the impedance of these dipoles. Recently an analytical model of the laminated dipole impedances was developed. However to match the impedance measurements with calculations one needs an accurate measurement of soft steel magnetic permeability. This paper presents the measurement results of the permeability in a frequency range from ~10 MHz to 1 GHz. Measurements of e.-m. wave propagation in 30 cm long strip line built from soft steel were used to compute the permeability. Measurements were performed in a DC magnetic field to observe the effect of steel saturation on the high frequency permeability. Both real and imaginary parts of the permeability were measured. As expected their values were decreasing with frequency increase from 10 MHz to 1 GHz and with saturation of steel DC permeability.

The Mu2e experiment is being planned at Fermilab to measure the rate for muons to convert to electrons in the field of an atomic nucleus with unprecedented precision. This experiment uses an 8 GeV primary proton beam consisting of short (~200 nsec FW) bunches, separated by 1.7 μs. It is vital that out-of-bunch beam be suppressed at the level of 10-10 or less. This poster describes the parametric analysis which was done to determine the optimum harmonics and magnet specifications for this system, as well as the implications for the beam line optics. | |||

To compensate for the beam-beam effects from the proton-proton interactions at IP6 and IP8 in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), we are fabricating two electron lenses that we plan to install at RHIC IR10.

WEPPP004 | A Reciprocity Principle for Wakefields in a Two-Channel Coaxial Dielectric Structure | wakefield, vacuum, simulation, acceleration | 2726 |
|
|||
Funding: Research is supported by U.S. Department of Energy, Office of High Energy Physics. The reciprocity principle* is often used in applications of classical electromagnetism. We have employed this principle for testing wakefields set up by an electron bunch in a two-channel coaxial dielectric structure (CDWA)**. For numerical studies we take a ~1-THz fused silica structure which we plan to test at FACET/SLAC; it has dimensions: outer shell, OD=800 μm, ID=500 μm; inner shell OD=181 μm, ID=50 μm. The structure is energized by a 23-GeV, 3-nC bunch having axial RMS size=25 μm. FACET has no drive bunch of annular shape as required for a CDWA; nevertheless, our analytical studies and simulations prove that for the axial wakefield, an annular drive bunch can be replaced by a pencil-like bunch of the same charge traveling in the annular vacuum channel. The longitudinal electric field along the accelerator channel axis (as recorded by a witness bunch) set up by this pencil-like bunch is the same as in the conventional structure of the CDWA. Moreover, if we interchange the drive bunch and the witness bunch, the witness bunch will register the same axial wakefield. However, the stability of the annular bunch is far superior to that of the pencil bunch. *L. D. Landau and E. M.

|

Funding: DOE SBIR We have directly measured the mm-wave wake fields induced by subpicosecond, intense relativistic electron bunches in a diamond loaded accelerating structure via the dielectric wake-field acceleration mechanism. Fields produced by a first, drive, beam were used to accelerate a second, witness, electron bunch which followed the driving bunch at an adjustable distance. The energy gain of the witness bunch as a function of its separation from the drive bunch is a direct measurement of the wake potential. We also present wakefield mapping results for THz quartz structures. In this case decelerating wake inside the bunch is inferred from the drive beam energy modulation. |

WEPPP061 | A Method to Obtain the Frequency of the Longitudinal Dipole Oscillation for Modeling and Control in Synchrotrons with Single or Double Harmonic RF Systems | synchrotron, controls, ion, emittance | 2846 |
|
|||
Funding: This work was partly funded by GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH In a heavy-ion synchrotron the bunched beam can perform longitudinal oscillations around the synchronous particle (single bunch dipole oscillation, SBDO). If disturbances/instabilities exciting the SBDO exceed the rate of Landau damping, the beam can become unstable. Furthermore, Landau damping is accompanied by an increase of the beam emittance which may be undesired. Thus, control efforts are taken to stabilize the beam and to keep the emittance small. It is known that for a single harmonic cavity and a small bunch the SBDO oscillates with the synchrotron frequency* if the oscillation amplitudes are small. For a larger bunch or a double harmonic RF systems that introduces nonlinearities**, this is no longer valid. This work shows how the frequency of the SBDO can be determined in general. As a result, the SBDO can again be modeled as a harmonic oscillator with an additional damping term to account for Landau damping. This model can be used for feedback designs which is shown by means of a simple example. As the frequency of the SBDO and the damping rate depend on the size of the bunch in phase space, it is shown how this information can be obtained from the measured beam current. * F. Pedersen and F.

WEPPP064 | Design and Simulation of the Stripline Transverse Quadrupole Kicker for HLS II | quadrupole, kicker, impedance, storage-ring | 2852 |
|
|||
In order to investigate the possibility of excite a transverse quadrupole mode oscillation of the electron bunch in the HLS II storage ring, we design a stripline transverse quadrupole kicker. The characteristic impedance of some modes(dipole modes, sum mode, quadrupole mode) of the optimised stripline kicker must match 50Ω characteristic impedance of the external transmission lines so as to reduce the reflected power. We use nonlinear least square method to optimise the kicker and compare characteristic impedances of calculation using 2D Possion code and fitted function of several variables, then we get optimised size with integrated use of Possion code and fitted function of several variables. Using the 2D Poisson code, we simulate the electric field distribution of dipole modes when the horizontal or the vertical electrodes are at opposite unit potentials, and the electric field distribution of quadrupole mode using quadrupole kick. We verified that the designed stripline kicker can excite a transverse quadrupole mode oscillation of the electron bunch. | |||

The Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring orbit real-time feedback (RTFB) system plays an important role in stabilizing the orbit of the stored beam. An upgrade is planned that will improve beam stability by increasing the correction bandwidth to 200 Hz or higher. To achieve this, the number of available steering correctors and beam position monitors (BPMs) will be increased, and the sample rate will be increased by an order of magnitude. An additional benefit will be the replacement of aging components. Simulations have been performed to quantify the effects of different system configurations on performance. |

The 10-Hz global orbit feedback, for damping the trajectory perturbation (~10 Hz) due to the vibrations of the triplets, is operational for injection and store in RHIC. The operation of the system has been performed using transfer functions between the beam position monitors and correctors obtained from the online optics model and a correction algorithm based on singular value decomposition (SVD). Calibration of the transfer functions by measuring the beam position oscillations while modulating the dedicated correctors has been carried out. The feedback results with model matrix and measured matrix will be compared. |

|

In this work, the ESS-Bilbao 352,2 Mhz RFQ Cold Model to be built in the ESS-Bilbao accelerator facility is presented. The Cold Model intends to be a small scale representation of the final 4 meters long RFQ which will be able to accelerate a 75 mA proton beam from 75 keV to 3 MeV. The work shown here covers the complete electromagnetic design process of the Cold Model which will be built in aluminium with a total length of 1 meter. Moreover, in order to find out fabrication tolerances, a longitudinal test modulation in the vane regions similar to the one designed for the final RFQ is included in the Cold Model. This modulation represents also a useful tool in order to test the agreement between measurements and electromagnetic simulations. In addition, a complete parametric study of the RFQ ends and radial matchers is presented as an important design parameter able to adjust the field flatness. Finally, slug tuning rods are also added to be able to test the tuning procedures. A final RFQ Cold Model prototype has been designed and is currently under fabrication. | |||

WEPPR047 | The Effect of Non-Zero Closed Orbit on Electron-Cloud Pinch Dynamics | electron, quadrupole, proton, simulation | 3033 |
|
|||
A study on the pinch dynamics of electron cloud during a bunch passage under the effect of a single arbitrary-order multipole was presented at IPAC2011. The complexity of the pinch pattern is directly related to the order of the multipolar field. However, in a realistic situation, the proton beam will not be located in the center of the vacuum chamber. If the beam is offset a new pinch regime is encountered, where feed-down effects and asymmetry of pinch density render the dynamics more challenging. In this paper we discuss the pinch dynamics with orbit offset, including the resulting orbit variation along a bunch, and address their relevance for the incoherent effect of the electron cloud. | |||
WEPPR051 | Issues for a Multi-bunch Operation with SPARC C-band Cavities | wakefield, HOM, linac, betatron | 3042 |
|
|||
SPARC C-band traveling wave cavities were originally designed for the SPARC energy upgrade in the single bunch operation mode. In the context of a gamma source based on Compton backscattering and based on the SPARC C-band technology, we investigated the issues related to the use of these structures in the multi-bunch operation mode. Several beam configurations have been considered and the effects of transverse and longitudinal long range wakefields on beam dynamics have been studied. In the paper we present the results of these studies and, in particular, the issues related to transverse beam break-up that could prevent the multi-bunch operation. Possible HOM damped structures are also proposed. | |||
WEPPR056 | Reproduction of Ceramic Chamber Impedances with Electric and Magnetic Polarities of the Ceramics | impedance, vacuum, synchrotron, proton | 3051 |
|
|||
In proton synchrotron, ceramic chambers are used as vacuum chambers to avoid the effect on magnetic fields from eddy current excited by the magnetic fields. One of the standard methods of the derivation of the impedances of the ceramic chamber is the field matching technique. In this report, we reproduce the formulae of the ceramic chamber impedance in terms of electric and magnetic polarities. When the beam passes through the chamber, the impedance is mainly excited by the electric polarity of the ceramic. | |||
WEPPR060 | Short range wakefields in MAX IV and FERMI Linac | wakefield, linac, cavity, electron | 3063 |
|
|||
Ultra-short electron pulses suffer from transverse wake fields resulting in a degradation of the beam quality. Since transverse emittance is a crucial parameter for possible FEL drivers, a careful characterization of wakefields is necessary in the design and commissioning phase of a high-brightness linear accelerator. In this paper we investigate the effect of short-range transverse wakefields in the MAXIV linac in various compression modes. Estimations of the wake potentials have been done with 3D modeling of the accelerating structures as well as with analytical models. | |||
WEPPR066 | Effects of the External Wakefield from the CLIC PETS | linac, wakefield, luminosity, emittance | 3078 |

The CLIC main linac accelerating structures will be powered by the Power Extraction and Transfer Structure (PETS) located in the drive beam decelerators. Misalignments of the PETS will excite dipolar modes in the couplers of the main linac structures that will kick the beam leading to beam quality degradation. In this paper, the impact of such dipolar kicks is studied, and tolerances, based on analytical estimations, are found both in the single- and the multi-bunch regimes. Numerical simulation obtained using the tracking code PLACET are shown to confirm the analytical estimates. | |||

This technique, known as scrubbing, is the ultimate solution to decrease the negative effects of an electron cloud build-up in any particle accelerator operating with intense beams. Its effectiveness has been already observed at the LHC. Since at the LHC no in-situ secondary-yield measurements are available, it has been necessary to develop a method to infer different key beam-pipe surface parameters by benchmarking simulations and pressure-rise observations. The method developed allows us to monitor the scrubbing process in order to decide on the most appropriate strategies for machine operation. In this paper we present the latest results of applying this method to the LHC in the fall of 2011 and early 2012, including data for the nominal bunch spacing of 25 ns. | |||
WEPPR088 | Modeling and Simulation of Retarding Field Analyzers at CESRTA | electron, simulation, vacuum, gun | 3138 |
|
|||
Funding: Work supported by the US National Science Foundation (PHY-0734867 and PHY-1002467), and Department of Energy (DE-FC02-08ER41538). 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. |

THYA01 | High Field Magnet Developments | quadrupole, luminosity, alignment, collider | 3185 |
|
|||
Superconducting magnets for future accelerators need to generate a field beyond 10 T. However, mature NbTi superconductors which have been already operated at its performance limit at LHC cannot be adopted. Instead, A15 type superconductors have been considered to be promising materials for the high field magnets. Especially, intensive R&D efforts for the LHC luminosity upgrade with state-of-the-art Nb3Sn superconductors have been carried out. Further future accelerators such as the High-Energy LHC and muon accelerators must require the high field reaching 20 T or more. This means that utilization of HTS (high Tc superconductors) would be the only possible solution. However, it is known that these advanced superconductors are not mechanically robust in comparison with the practical NbTi and the performance is influenced by mechanical stress and strain. In addition, magnetization effects caused by larger effective filament diameters may compromise the field quality in the accelerators. The magnet developments to overcome these issues are ongoing. This presentation will try to review the US and worldwide high field accelerator magnet developments: achievements, status, and plans. | |||

THXB03 | Beam and Spin Dynamics in an Electric Proton EDM Ring | proton, lattice, storage-ring, quadrupole | 3203 |
|
|||
Electric dipole moment (EDM) measurements may help to answer the question ‘‘Why is there more matter than anti-matter in the present universe?'' For a charged baryon like the proton such a measurement is thinkable only in a ring in which a bunch of protons is stored for more than a few minutes, with polarization ‘‘frozen'' (relative to the beam velocity) and with polarization not attenuated by decoherence. Beam and spin dynamics in an all-electric lattice with these characteristics is described. Rings for other charged baryons, such as deuterons or helium-3 nuclei, are also possible but, requiring both electric and magnetic fields, they are more complicated. | |||

THEPPB006 | Improving the Synchrotron Performance of the Heidelberg Ionbeam Therapy Center | ion, synchrotron, controls, extraction | 3243 |
|
|||
The HIT linac-synchrotron-system routinely delivers pencil beams to the dose delivering rasterscanning devices at 3 treatment rooms, including the worldwide first scanning ion gantry, and 1 experimental cave. At HIT the quality-assured library of pencil beam parameters covers roughly 100.000 combinations of the ion, energy, intensity and beam size. Each patient-specific treatment plan defines a subset of these pencil beams being subsequently requested during the dose delivery. Aiming at shortened irradiation times an upgrade program making heavy use of feed-back mechanisms is under way. Driven by patient-specific data out of the scanning beam dose delivery process central synchrotron components are coupled to the therapy control system in order to tailor the beam characteristics in real-time to the clinical requirements. The paper will discuss the functional upgrades and report about the impact on the medical application at HIT. | |||

THPPC020 | Accurate Measurement of Ferrite Garnets to be used for Fast-tuned Ferrite Loaded Cavities in the Range of 20-40 MHz | cavity, impedance, resonance, vacuum | 3317 |
|
|||
For the implementation of ferrite-tuned cavities with perpendicular biased ferrites in the frequency range of 20 to 40 MHz, different types of ferrite garnets were evaluated in terms of their electromagnetic properties. We describe a precision measurement method applicable to small-sized ferrite samples of 1-square-inch surface and 2 mm thickness in the given frequency range. During measurement, these samples are exposed to varying magnetic bias fields of different orientations. Two different techniques for the determination of the real and the imaginary part of the permeability are required to achieve sufficiently accurate results. We present a detailed description of these methods as well as results obtained. | |||

The key feature of the improved coupling design in the Damped Detuned Structure (DDS) is focused on the four manifolds. Rectangular geometry slots and rectangular manifolds are used. This results in a significantly stronger coupling to the manifolds compared to the previous design. We describe the new design together with its wakefield damping properties. | |||

Iranian Light Source Facility (ILSF) is a 3 GeV storage ring consisting 32 combined bending magnets in 2 types, 104 quadrupoles in 9 families and 128 sextupoles in 9 families. It was decided to use curved C-type, parallel ends, combined bending magnets that have the same lengths, a central fields of 1.42 T and total gap of 32 mm but quadrupole components of g1=-3.837 and g2=-5.839 T/m. Using two dimensional code POISSON and FEMM and applying appropriate shims, pole profile was optimized to maintain the field homogeneity over the full horizontal aperture of ±10, such that, field tolerance is of the order of 10-4. Also a pole and yoke geometry was developed for the quadrupole, with a field gradient of 23 T/m, bore radius of 30.5 mm and magnetic length of 0.53m which is the maximum possible values in the lattice. Obtained field tolerance is of the order of 10-4 in the good field region 18 mm. Sextupoles are supposed to have a bore radius of 34 mm, max sextupole component of 700 T/m2 and are designed in order to achieve a field tolerance of 10-3 in the good field region of 12 mm. Also in order to investigate the end effects 3D calculations has been done by using Radia 3D code. | |||

THPPD009 | Accelerator Magnets R&D Programme at CERN | quadrupole, permanent-magnet, linac, luminosity | 3512 |
|

The exploitation and evolution of the CERN accelerator complex pose a continuous challenge for magnet engineers. Superconducting and resistive magnets have a comparable share. The overall mass of either is approximately 50,000 tons, spread over 3 major machines (PS, SPS and LHC), two large experimental area, and a number of smaller experiments and accelerator rings. On the short term (2012-2014) the CERN plan is to upgrade its injection chain (Linac4) and experimental area (HIE-Isolde, ELENA) that require mostly a multitude of resistive magnets. The medium-term plan for the evolution of the LHC complex (2015-2021), also referred to as High-Luminosity LHC, foresees interventions on about 1 km of the machine, with magnets to be substituted with higher field, larger aperture, or both. On the long term (2025-2035) we are exploring the technological challenges of very high field magnets, at the verge of 20 T for a High Energy LHC (HE-LHC), or extremely stable high gradient quadrupoles for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). In this paper we provide an overview of the R&D activities addressing the various lines of development, the technology milestones, and a broad time schedule. | |||
THPPD015 | Character and Performance of Magnets for the TPS Storage Ring | sextupole, multipole, quadrupole, storage-ring | 3527 |
|
|||
The Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a third-generation light source. The orbit of the electron beam will be controlled with 48 dipoles, 240 quadrupoles, 168 sextupoles and several correctors in the storage ring. The construction of the first magnets for one sector, including prototype magnets, is to be completed during 2011 December. The mechanical dimensions of these magnets have been examined on a precise 3D-coordinate-measuring machine (CMM). The field strength, effective length and multipole errors were inspected with a rotating-coil measurement system (RCS) and a Hall-probe measurement system (HPS). The field center of the quadrupole and sextupole magnets is shimmed with a precise shimming block on the RCS bench. The inaccuracy of the position of the field center will be within 0.01 mm after shimming the feet. This work reports the current status, the construction performance, the mechanical shimming algorithm and the relative construction issue of the high precision magnet. | |||
THPPD017 | Mu2e AC Dipole 300 kHz and 5.1 MHz Tests and Comparison of Nickel-Zinc Ferrites | pick-up, proton, impedance, target | 3533 |
|
|||
To suppress any background events coming from the inter-bunch proton interactions during the muon transport and decay window for the Mu2e experiment, a beam extinction scheme based on two dipoles running at ~300 kHz and 5.1 MHz is considered. The effective field of these magnets is synchronized to the proton bunch spacing in such a way that the bunches are transported at the sinus nodes. Two types Ni-Zn ferrites are considered for these dipoles. Ferrites, their characteristics and ferrites selection is herein discussed through measurements performed under conditions close to operational. The excitation system and the measurement of some characteristics of the magnetic field and field shape and measurement mechanism are also presented. | |||
THPPD018 | Precision Magnet Measurements for X-band Accelerator Quadrupole Triplets | quadrupole, alignment, emittance, controls | 3536 |
|

Funding: This work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344 An X-band test station is being developed at LLNL to investigate accelerator optimization for future upgrades to mono-energetic gamma-ray (MEGa-Ray) technology at LLNL. Beamline magnets will include an emittance compensation solenoid, windowpane steering dipoles, and quadrupole magnets. Demanding tolerances have been placed on the alignment of these magnets, which directly affects the electron bunch beam quality. A magnet mapping system has been established at LLNL in order to ensure the delivered magnets match their field specification, and the mountings are aligned and capable of reaching the specified alignment tolerances. The magnet measurement system will be described which uses a 3-axis Lakeshore gauss probe mounted on a 3-axis translation stage. Alignment accuracy and precision will be discussed, as well as centering measurements and analysis. The dependence on data analysis over direct multi-pole measurement allows a significant improvement in useful alignment information. Detailed analysis of measurements on the beamline quadrupoles will be discussed, including multi-pole content both from alignment of the magnets, and the intrinsic level of multi-pole magnetic field. |

THPPD020 | Test of a 1.8 Tesla, 400 Hz Dipole for a Muon Synchrotron | power-supply, simulation, synchrotron, acceleration | 3542 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported by DE-FG05-91ER40622. A 1.8 Tesla dipole magnet using 0.011" AK Steel TRAN-COR H-1 grain oriented silicon steel laminations has been constructed as a prototype for a muon synchrotron ramping at 400 Hz. Following the practice in large 3 phase transformers and our own OPERA-2D simulations, joints are mitered to take advantage of the magnetic properties of the steel which are most effective in the direction in which the steel was rolled. Measurements with a Hysteresigraph 5500 and Epstein Frame show a high magnetic permeability which minimizes stored energy in the yoke so the magnet can ramp quickly with modest voltage. A power supply with a fast IGBT switch and a polypropylene capacitor was constructed. Coils are wound with 12 gauge copper wire which will eventually be cooled with with water flowing in stainless steel tubes. The magnetic field was measured with an F. W. Bell 5180 peak sensing Hall Probe connected to a Tektronics TDS3054B oscilloscope. |

THPPD021 | SC Magnet Development for SIS100 at FAIR | quadrupole, sextupole, multipole, cryogenics | 3545 |
|
|||
Superconducting magnets have been constructed and tested for the SIS100 (Heavy Ion Synchrotron with a beam rigidity of 100 Tm) of the FAIR project. The requested high quality of the magnetic field as well as the fast periodic ramp of the SIS100 (2T, 1Hz) requires that any source of AC losses is tightly reduced by carefully optimising the 3D geometry of the yoke, choosing the appropriate iron material and minimising the eddy current loops. In addition optimal wire, cable and coil designs have been developed. The residual heat production will be reliable removed by an efficient cooling scheme. The beam pipe vacuum chamber must operate stably as a cryo-pump with surface temperatures below 20K. The electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical aspects were optimised and finally investigated based on physical analysis, supported by FEM calculations and dedicated tests. The results obtained on the main magnets were used for dedicated development of the corrector magnets and their effective integration in the complete cryo-magnet complex of the accelerator. We describe the features of the final magnets next to their optimised fields and present the construction status of the SIS100 magnets. | |||
THPPD025 | Expected and Measured Behaviour of the Tune in the LHC Operation at 3.5 TeV | injection, quadrupole, feedback, betatron | 3554 |
|
|||
The tune of the Large Hadron Collider depends on the strength of the quadrupole magnets, the b2 component in the main dipoles plus the b3 component in the main dipoles and the sextupolar correctors via feed down in case of systematic misalignment. The magnetic model of the machine, based on a fit of magnetic measurements, has an intrinsic precision which can be estimated in a few units. During the first years of operation of the LHC, tune has been routinely measured and corrected through a feedback system. In this paper we reconstruct from the beam measurements and the settings of the feedback loop the evolution of tune during injection, ramp, and squeeze. This gives the obtained precision of the magnetic model of the machine with respect to quadrupolar and sextupolar components. At the injection plateau there is an unexpected large decay whose origin is not understood: we present the data, with the time constants and the dependence on the previous cycles, and compare to the magnetic measurements. During the ramp the tune drifts by about 0.05: this precision is related to the precision in tracking the quadrupolar field in the machine. | |||
THPPD026 | Splice Resistance Measurements in the LHC Main Superconducting Magnet Circuits by the New Quench Protection System | monitoring, background, injection, controls | 3557 |
|
|||
The interconnections between the LHC main magnets are made of soldered joints (splices) of two superconducting cables stabilized by a copper bus bar. After the 2008 LHC incident, caused by a defective interconnection, a new layer of high resolution magnet circuit quench protection (nQPS) has been developed and integrated with the existing systems. It allowed mapping of the resistances of all superconducting splices during the 2009 commissioning campaign. Since April 2010, when the LHC was successfully restarted at 3.5TeV, every bus bar interconnection is constantly monitored by the nQPS electronics. The acquired data are saved to the LHC Logging Database. The paper will briefly describe the data analysis method and will present the results from the two years of resistance measurements. Although no splice was found with resistance higher than 3.3nOhm and no significant degradation in time was observed so far, the monitoring of splices will stay active till the end of LHC 3.5TeV run. The detected outliers will be repaired during the Splice Consolidation Campaign in 2013-2014. | |||
THPPD027 | Consolidation of the 13 kA Splices in the Electrical Feedboxes of the LHC | quadrupole, controls, cryogenics, superconducting-magnet | 3560 |
|
|||
In 2008 a defective connection in one of the 13 kA dipole circuits of the LHC caused an electric breakdown that resulted in extensive damage in a sector of the accelerator. The investigation performed after the accident showed the necessity to consolidate the electrical splices of the 13 kA dipole and quadrupole circuits in order to operate the LHC at its nominal energy of 7 TeV. These circuits are powered through electrical feedboxes located at each end of the 8 sectors of LHC. In the feedboxes the current is routed from room temperature to the superconducting magnets along current leads and superconducting busbars and flows through at least two internal splices. These splices are based on the same technologies as the magnet to magnet ones but they are significantly different in terms of environment and configuration. As for the magnet to magnet splices, a consolidation will be necessary to operate them at nominal current. This paper presents an analysis of the properties of these splices and the technologies that will be used to consolidate them. The quality control provisions and the workflow to perform this operation during the first long shutdown of LHC are also presented. | |||
THPPD028 | Studies on the LHC Superconducting Circuits and Routine Qualification of Their Functionalities | cryogenics, collider, hadron, target | 3563 |
|
|||
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is systematically undergoing periods of maintenance stop (either 4-5 days stops or longer Christmas breaks), after which some of the superconducting circuits (or the totality of them) have to be re-commissioned to check the correct functionality of all powering and protection systems. Detailed procedures have been developed during the past few years and they have been optimized to increase powering tests efficiency, thus reducing beam downtime. The approach to the routine qualification of the LHC powering systems is described in this paper. During 2011 technical stops, some particular studies on the superconducting circuits were performed, to assess the quality of the superconducting splices of individually powered magnets and to study the quench propagation in the main magnet bus-bars. The methodology of these tests and some results are also presented. | |||
THPPD031 | Measurement of the Residual Resistivity Ratio of the Bus Bars Copper Stabilizer of the 13 kA Circuits of the LHC | quadrupole, instrumentation, simulation, factory | 3572 |
|
|||
After the incident of September 2008, the operational beam energy of the LHC has been set to 3.5 TeV, since not all joints of the superconducting busbars between magnets have the required quality for 7 TeV operation. This choice is based on simulations to determine the safe current in the main dipole and quadrupole magnets, reproducing the thermal behavior of a quenched superconducting joint by taking into account all relevant factors that affect a possible thermal runaway. One important parameter of the simulation is the RRR (Residual Resistivity Ratio) of the copper stabilizer of the busbar connecting superconducting magnets. A dedicated campaign to measure this quantity for the main 13kA circuits of the LHC on all sectors was performed during the Christmas stop in December 2010 and January 2011. The measurement method as well as the data analysis and results are presented in this paper. | |||
THPPD032 | Consolidation of the LHC Superconducting Circuits: A Major Step towards 14 TeV Collisions | superconducting-magnet, quadrupole, controls, vacuum | 3575 |
|
|||
Following the incident in one of the main dipole circuits of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in September 2008, a detailed analysis of all magnet circuits has been performed by a dedicated task force. This analysis has revealed several critical issues in the design of the 13 kA splices between the main LHC cryomagnets. These splices have to be consolidated before increasing the beam energy above 4 TeV and to operate the LHC close to 7 TeV per beam. The design for the consolidated 13 kA splices is now complete and has been reviewed by an international committee of experts. In the process, all types of superconducting circuits have been thoroughly screened and several important recommendations were established. They were critically assessed and the resulting actions are presented. In addition to the work on the 13 kA splices, other interventions will be performed during the first long shut-down of the LHC to consolidate globally all the superconducting circuits. The associated quality controls have been defined and are detailed in the operations workflow. The schedule constraints, repairs production rate, available space and resources are presented as well. | |||
THPPD033 | Using Permanent Magnets to Boost the Dipole Field for the High-energy LHC | permanent-magnet, cryogenics, background, radiation | 3578 |
|

Funding: Work supported by the European Commission under the FP7 Research Infrastructures project EuCARD, grant agreement no. 227579. The High-Energy LHC (HE-LHC) will be a new accelerator in the LHC tunnel based on novel dipole magnets, with a field up to 20 T, which are proposed to be realized by a hybrid-coil design, comprising blocks made from Nb-Ti, Nb3Sn and HTS, respectively. Without the HTS the field would be only 15 T. In this note we propose and study the possibility of replacing the inner HTS layer by (weaker) permanent magnets that might contribute a field of 1-2 T, so that the final field would reach 16-17 T. Advantages would be the lower price of permanent magnets compared with HTS magnets and their availability. |

All magnets are based on the Nb3Sn superconductor and designed to provide an adequate operation field gradient in the given aperture with the critical current margin required for reliable machine operation.

Funding: Work supported partially by US-MAP and by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC, under contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy The requirements and operating conditions for superconducting magnets used in a Muon Collider Storage Ring are challenging. About one third of the beam energy is deposited along the magnets by the decay electrons. As a possible solution an elliptical tungsten absorber could intercept the decay electrons and absorb the heat limiting the heat load on superconducting coils to the acceptable level. In this paper we describe the main design issues of dipoles with an elliptical aperture taking into consideration the field and field quality. The temperature margin and the forces in the coils are presented as well. |

In recent years, Fermilab has been performing an intensive R&D program on Nb3Sn accelerator magnets. This program has included dipole and quadrupole magnets for different programs and projects, including LARP and VLHC. A systematic study of the persistent current decay and snapback effect in the fields of these magnets was executed at the Fermilab Magnet Test Facility. The decay and snapback were measured under a range of conditions including variations of the current ramp parameters and flattop and injection plateau durations. This study has mostly focused on the dynamic behavior of the normal sextupole and dodecapole components in dipole and quadrupole magnets respectively. The paper summarizes the recent measurements and presents a comparison with previously measured NbTi magnets. | |||

The necessary longitudinal space for the collimators could be provided by replacing some 8.33-T 15-m-long NbTi LHC main dipoles with shorter 11-T Nb3Sn dipoles compatible with the LHC lattice and main systems. To demonstrate this possibility, in 2011 Fermilab and CERN started a joint R&D program with the goal of building a 5.5-m-long twin-aperture dipole prototype suitable for installation in the LHC by 2014. The first step of this program is the development of a 2-m-long single-aperture demonstration dipole with the nominal field of 11 T at the LHC nominal current of ~11.85 kA and 60-mm bore with ~20% margin. This paper presents the results of magnetic analysis of the single-aperture Nb3Sn demonstrator dipole for the LHC collimation system upgrade. |

|
|||
Funding: Supported in part by STTR Grant 4746 · 11SC06273 Magnets in the fragment separator region of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) would be subjected to extremely high radiation and heat loads. Critical elements of FRIB are the dipole magnets which select the desired isotopes. Since conventional NiTi and Nb3Sn superconductors must operate at ~4.5 K, the removal of the high heat load generated in these magnets with these superconductors would be difficult. The coils for these magnets must accommodate the large curvature from the 30° bend that the magnets subtend. High temperature superconductor (HTS) have been shown to be radiation resistant and can operate in the 20-50 K temperature range where heat removal is an order of magnitude more efficient than at 4.5 K. Furthermore these dipole magnets must be removable remotely for servicing because of the extremely high radiation environment.

THPPD044 | Fabrication and Testing of Curved Test Coil for FRIB Fragment Separator Dipole | radiation, FEL, quadrupole, proton | 3611 |
|
|||
Funding: Supported in part by SBIR Grant 4746 · 11SC06273 A critical element of the fragment separator region of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the 30° dipole bend magnet. Because this magnet will be subjected to extremely high radiation and heat loads, operation at 4.5 K would not be possible. High temperature superconductors which have been shown to be radiation resistant and can operated in the 30-50 K temperature range which is more effective for heat removal. An efficient design for this magnet would make use of coils that follow the curvature of the magnet. Winding curved coils with negative curvature are difficult as the coil tends to unwind during the process. As part of an R&D effort for this magnet we are winding a ¼ scale test coil for this magnet with YBCO conductor and are testing it at 77 K. This paper will discuss the winding process and the test results of this study. |

THPPD050 | Fast Ramping Arbitrary Waveform Power Supplies for Correction Coils in a Circular Electron Accelerator | electron, controls, power-supply, resonance | 3623 |
|
|||
New fast ramping power supplies working in pulsed bridge technology upgrade the existing Corrector System at ELSA. Current changes of ±0.8 A/msec are achieved. The newly developed CAN-Bus Interface allows linear interpolation of up to 250 support points with minimal time steps of 1msec. The first stage uses 24 power supplies to improve the position of the beam orbit in the horizontal plane using dipole correction coils. It will be extended to include the vertical plane with new corrector coils in the near future. This poster describes the operating principles of the power supply and the interface. | |||
THPPD054 | Low Current Bipolar Magnet Power Supply System at the PLS-II Storage Ring | quadrupole, lattice, EPICS, power-supply | 3635 |
|
|||
Funding: * This work is supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Korea. Lattice of the Storage Ring (SR) is changed from TDB to DBA, and beam energy is enhanced from 2.5 GeV to 3.0 GeV at the Pohang Light Source upgrade (PLS-II). At the PLS-II, Magnet Power Supplies (MPS) were newly designed according to magnet specification of the PLS-II. All MPSs are adopted switching type power conversion technology. Low current bipolar MPSs for vertical corrector(VC), horizontal corrector(HC), fast corrector(FC), aux.-quadrupole(AQ), skew(SK) and dipole trim coil(TR) magnets are H-bridge type. All MPSs are performed less than ± 10 ppm output current stability and adopted full digital controller. Except vertical corrector MPSs, all unipolar and bipolar MPSs are developed as embedded EPICS IOC. In this paper, we report on the development and characteristics of the bipolar MPS for the PLS-II Storage Ring. |

THPPP023 | Momentum Cogging at the Fermilab Booster | booster, injection, controls, extraction | 3782 |
|
|||
The Fermilab booster has an intensity upgrade plan called the Proton Improvement plan (PIP). The flux throughput goal is 2·1017 protons/hour which is almost double the current operation at 1.1017 protons/hour. The beam loss in the machine is going to be an issue. The booster accelerates beam from 400 MeV to 8GeV and extracts to The Main Injector (MI). Cogging is the process that synchronizes the extraction kicker gap to the MI by changing radial position of the beam during the cycle. The gap creation occurs at about 700MeV which is 6msec into the cycle. The variation of the revolution frequency from cycle to cycle is larger at lower energy and it is hard to control by changing the radial position because of aperture limitations. Momentum cogging is able to move the gap creation earlier by using dipole correctors and radial position feedback, and controlling the revolution frequency and radial position at the same time. The new cogging is going to save energy loss and aperture. The progress of the momentum cogging system development is going to be discussed in this paper. | |||
THPPP027 | The Design of a Large Booster Ring for the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collider at JLab | booster, ion, collider, electron | 3791 |
|
|||
Funding: Notice: Authored by Jefferson Science Associates, LLC under U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC05-06OR23177. In this paper, we present the current design of the large booster ring for the Medium Energy Electron-Ion Collder (MEIC) at JLab. The booster ring takes 3 GeV protons or ions of equivalent energy from a pre-booster ring, and accelerates them to 20 GeV for protons or equivalent energy for light to heavy ions before sending them to the ion collider ring. The present design calls for a figure-8 shape of the ring for superior preservation of ion polarization. The ring is made of warm magnets and shares a tunnel with the two collider rings. Acceleration is achieved by warm RF systems. A linear optics has been designed with the transition energy above the highest beam energy in the ring so crossing of transition energy will be avoided. Preliminary beam dynamics studies including chromaticity compensation, analyses of dynamic aperture, working point and high order effects are also presented in this paper. |

THPPP037 | Status of the 325 MHz 4-ROD RFQ | simulation, rfq, HOM, linac | 3815 |
|
|||
For the FAIR project of GSI as part of the proton linac, a 325 MHz 4-ROD RFQ with an output energy of 3 MeV is planned. Due to the simulations regarding the RF design, a prototype of this RFQ was built. Measurements with this prototype to verify the simulation results have been done. In addition, simulations with increasing cell numbers and simulations concerning the boundary fields of the electrodes are presented in this paper. | |||
THPPP042 | The First Step of RFQ Development in KBSI | rfq, ion, quadrupole, emittance | 3829 |
|
|||
The RFQ for accelerating an ion beam is being developed in Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI). The KBSI RFQ is designed to accelerate 1 mA lithium beam (Q/A=3/7) at 88 MHz. It is considered to be a 4-vane RFQ structure. The injection beam energy into RFQ is 12 keV/u, the output beam energy downstream from RFQ is 300 keV/u. The RFQ has to show stable operation, meet availability, and have the minimum losses so as to guarantee the best performance/cost ratio. At the first step, two dimensional geometry structure was studied using SUPERFISH code for the resonance frequency of quadrupole and dipole modes. Three dimensional field distributions were investigated by CST microwave studio. The beam dynamics in RFQ accelerator were studied using PARMTEQM code. Based on these results, the structural analysis should be studied and a cold model will be fabricated and investigated. The practical KBSI RFQ will be manufactured in next year. | |||
THPPP064 | Project X RFQ EM Design | rfq, simulation, quadrupole, radio-frequency | 3883 |
|
|||
Project X is a proposed multi-MW proton facility at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL). The Project X front-end would consist of an H− ion source, a low-energy beam transport (LEBT), a cw 162.5 MHz radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) accelerator, and a medium-energy beam transport (MEBT). Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and FNAL collaboration is currently developing the designs for various components in the Project X front end. This paper reports the detailed EM design of the cw 162.5 MHz RFQ that provides bunching of the 1-10 mA H− beam with acceleration from 30 keV to 2.1 MeV. | |||
THPPP074 | Chopping High Intensity Proton Beams Using a Pulsed Wien Filter | focusing, proton, beam-transport, emittance | 3907 |
|
|||
Chopping high intensity beams at low energies poses substantial challenges. A novel ExB chopper system for proton beams of up to 200 mA at energies of 120 keV is being developed for the accelerator driven neutron source FRANZ*. It uses a Wien filter-type ExB configuration consisting of a static magnetic deflection field and a pulsed electric compensation field to deliver 100 ns beam pulses. The setup minimizes the risk of voltage breakdowns and provides secure beam dumping outside the transport line. In order to prevent beam aberrations and emittance growth careful matching of electric and magnetic deflection forces is required. Detailed numerical studies for the field design and their effects on beam transport were conducted. An H-type dipole magnet with special transverse and longitudinal pole contours was manufactured and combined with shielding tubes to shape the magnetic field. The electric field is driven by a HV pulse generator providing ±6 kV at a repetition rate of 250 kHz. Accurate layout of the deflector plates is required in order to tackle the issues of field quality, cooling and spark prevention. Transport simulations and beam deflection experiments are presented.

THPPR052 | The MedAustron Proton Gantry | optics, quadrupole, proton, synchrotron | 4091 |
|
|||
The MedAustron project realizes a synchrotron based accelerator facility in Austria for cancer treatment with protons and carbon ions, currently in the construction phase. In order to allow full patient treatment flexibility, one of the four treatment rooms will be equipped with a proton gantry. While its hardware design is a copy of the PSI Gantry 2, different constraints on the beam optics must be accounted for as MedAustron uses a synchrotron as particle accelerator and a rotator to match the beam into the rotated frame, as compared to the cyclotron of the PSI PROSCAN facility. This paper presents the current status of the hardware design and procurement and a review of the design characteristics of the PSI Gantry 2 for the MedAustron case. In particular the stability of the beam parameters during beam scanning over the treatment scan area is investigated in detail. To achieve utmost parallel active scanning performance, the magnet design parameters (edge angles, corrector quadrupole, tapered dipole) have been optimized for PSI Gantry 2. Equivalent studies are undertaken for the MedAustron requirements and constraints in this paper. | |||
THPPR054 | Progress in the Design of a Curved Superconducting Dipole for a Therapy Gantry | proton, target, solenoid, ion | 4097 |
|
|||
A curved superconducting magnet for a carbon therapy gantry requires a large bore and a field around 5T. The design reduces the gantry’s size and weight and makes it more comparable with gantries used for proton therapy. In this paper we report on a combined function superconducting dipole magnet that is half the size needed for carbon gantry and is about the size of a proton gantry. The half scale, with a 130 mm bore diameter that is curved 90 degrees at a radius of 634 mm, superimposes two layers of oppositely wound and skewed solenoids that are energized in a way that nulls the solenoid field and doubles the dipole field. Furthermore, the combined architecture of the windings can create a selection of field terms that are off the near-pure dipole field. In this paper we report on the design of a two layers curved coil and the production of the winding mandrel. Some details on the magnet assembly are included. | |||
FRXAB01 | Symplectic Tracking and Compensation of Dynamic Field Integrals in Complex Undulator Structures | undulator, permanent-magnet, simulation, polarization | 4165 |
|
|||
This presentation covers analytical models that describe the interaction of an electron beam with the magnetic field of undulators. Analytic approximations to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation yield generating functions useful for particle tracking and therefore efficient simulation. Analytic expressions for kick maps of APPLE II undulators are presented as well. Passive and active shimming schemes including magic fingers and current sheets are also modeled. Applications at BESSY II are discussed which ensure efficient injection during top-up to satisfy machine protection and radiation safety requirements. | |||
