  The High Intensity and Energy (HIE)-ISOLDE project aims at several important upgrades of the present ISOLDE radioactive beam facility at CERN. The main focus lies in the energy upgrade of the post-accelerated radionuclide beams from 3 MeV/u up to 10 MeV/u through the addition of superconducting cavities. This will open the possibility of many new types of experiments including transfer reactions throughout the nuclear chart. The first stage of this upgrade involves the design, construction, installation and commissioning of two high-β cryomodules downstream of REX-ISOLDE, the existing post-accelerator. Each cryomodule houses five high-β sc cavities and one sc solenoid. Prototypes of the Nb-sputtered Quarter Wave Resonators (QWRs) cavities for the new superconducting linear accelerator have been manufactured and are undergoing RF cold tests. The project also includes a design study of improved production targets to accommodate the future increase of proton intensity delivered by the new LINAC4 proton driver. The project has been approved by CERN and its implementation started in January 2010. An overview of the project and the timeline will be presented.

  Ionization Cooling is the only practical solution to preparing high brilliance muon beams for a neutrino factory or muon collider. The muon ionization cooling experiment (MICE) is under development at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (UK) by an international collaboration. The muon beam line has been commissioned and first measurements of emittance with particle physics detectors have been performed. The remaining apparatus is currently under construction. First results with a liquid-hydrogen absorber will be produced in 2013; a couple of years later a full cell of a representative ionization cooling channel, including RF re-acceleration, will be in operation. The design offers opportunities for tests with various absorbers and several optics configurations. Results will be compared with detailed simulations of cooling channel performance to ensure full understanding of the cooling process.

  The PRISM Task Force continues to study high intensity and high quality muon beams needed for next generation lepton flavor violation experiments. In the PRISM case such beams have been proposed to be produced by sending a short proton pulse to a pion production target, capturing the pions and performing RF phase rotation on the resulting muon beam in an FFAG ring. This paper summarizes the current status of the PRISM design obtained by the Task Force. In particular various designs for the PRISM FFAG ring are discussed and their performance compared to the baseline one, the injection/extraction systems and matching to the solenoid channels upstream and downstream of the FFAG ring are presented. The feasibility of the construction of the PRISM system is discussed.

The Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment-II (NDCX-II) will generate ion beam pulses for studies of Warm Dense Matter and heavy-ion-driven Inertial Fusion Energy. The machine will accelerate 20-50 nC of Li+ to 1.2-3 MeV energy, starting from a 10.9-cm alumino-silicate ion source. At the end of the accelerator the ions are focused to a sub-mm spot size onto a thin foil (planar) target. The pulse duration is compressed from ~500 ns at the source to sub-ns at the target following beam transport in a neutralizing plasma. We first describe the injector, accelerator, transport, final focus and diagnostic facilities. We then report on the results of early commissioning studies that characterize beam quality and beam transport, acceleration waveform shaping and beam current evolution. We present WARP simulation results to benchmark against the experimental measurements.

  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.

  The Neutrino Factory produces neutrinos by muon decay in a storage ring. Pions are produced by firing high energy protons onto a target. Pions decay to muons, which are captured and accelerated to high energy. The target produces additionally a large background that is deposited in the muon capture front end and subsequent components. The implications of energy deposition in the front end lattice for the Neutrino Factory are addressed. Several approaches to mitigating the effect are proposed and discussed, including proton absorbers, chicane, and shielding.

  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*.

  An inverse cyclotron is a novel, intriguing idea for muon cooling necessary for proposed neutrino factories and muon colliders. We present the latest results of an end-to-end inverse cyclotron simulation that cools muons in the following sequence: single turn injection and initial cooling of 100 MeV kinetic energies to about 5 MeV with lithium hydrogen wedges; further substantial cooling to keV range kinetic energies and trapping with carbon foils and a rising electric field; and re-acceleration of the cooled, trapped muons back to 100 MeV. For neutrino factory and muon collider applications, the time of the entire cooling/trapping/re-acceleration process needs to be comparable to the muon lifetime so that decay losses are tolerable and the acceptance of the inverse cyclotron needs to be sufficiently large (on order 10 mm-rad normalized emittance). The latest progress toward these ends is presented.

This paper describes a new platform for the multi-objective global optimization of accelerator design. While local optimization is relatively simple, global optimization for accelerator design remains a challenging task. The user often must write many lines of code to combine the output of a large variety of simulation engines, then send the results to the optimization engine. The optimization code also requires significant revision when applied to different problems. This paper presents an alternative method. The TRIUMF optimization platform, based on the genetic algorithm, is an extension of the PISA framework. It uses a flexible XML input format, in which users can easily combine multiple physics engines, such as ASTRA and PARMELA, into the same optimization problem. The TRIUMF platform is also parallel capable, designed to take advantage of computation clusters such as WestGrid. Results of the optimization platform applied to TRIUMF's 50 MeV, 0.5 MW electron linac are shown.

A solenoid-based low-energy beam transport (LEBT) test stand is under development for the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). To support commissioning of the test stand, the parallel Vorpal framework is being used for 3D electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of H− beam dynamics in the LEBT, including impact ionization physics and MHz chopping of the partially-neutralized \Hm beam. Here we describe the process of creating a partially-neutralized beam and examine the effects of a single chopping event on the beam's emittance.

  The new electron cooler for COSY is built at BINP Novosibirsk. Electron beam commissioning is in progress. Installation in COSY and commissioning with proton beam is scheduled for the beginning of 2012. Beam cooling with up to 3 A of electron current at up to 2 MeV is expected to boost the luminosity in the entire energy range of COSY by counteracting the effects caused by dense targets interacting with the circulating beam. Furthermore, the 2 MeV electron cooler can be used for beam cooling at injection energy in the HESR ring in the FAIR project. The electron beam is guided by a solenoidal magnetic field all the way from the electron gun to the collector. A cascade transformer provides power to numerous high voltage sections, short solenoids, and the collector inside a pressure vessel filed with SF6 gas. Commissioning results are reported.

  There is a time that we want to measure the electron which occurred in the accelerator in the small situation of a noise. In that case, it is one method that we transport these electrons to the place distant form the accelerator where a noise is small. In order to realize that, development of transport line for low energy electrons is required. So, we start to develop transport line using solenoid magnets. We present status of development of this transportation system.

The University of Wisconsin is midway in a multi-year program to demonstrate a low frequency electron gun based on a quarter wave resonator cavity. The design includes active tuning and a high temperature superconducting solenoid for emittance compensation. We will report on the status of the 4 MeV SRF electron gun, including the cryomodule, the RF power coupler, the main RF power amplifier/low level RF control system, the photocathode laser system, and the diagnostic beamline. Installation is moving forward in a recently renovated experimental vault adjacent to the existing Aladdin synchrotron. First electron beam is expected in the summer 2012.

  Superconductive insertion devices can reach, for the same gap and period length, higher fields with respect to permanent magnet insertion devices. One of the still open issues for the development of superconductive insertion devices, is the understanding of the heat intake from the electron beam. COLDDIAG, a cold vacuum chamber for diagnostics was designed and built specifically for this purpose. With the equipped instrumentation, which covers temperature sensors, pressure gauges, mass spectrometers as well as retarding field analyzers it is possible to measure the beam heat load, total pressure, gas content as well as the flux of particles hitting the chamber walls. Here we report about the preliminary measurements and results of COLDDIAG installed in the Diamond storage ring.

  The Front End Test Stand (FETS) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) is intended to demonstrate the early stages of acceleration (0-3 MeV) and beam chopping required for high power proton accelerators. At the moment, the RFQ is under construction and there is a need to understand the matching of the Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) into the RFQ as conclusive as possible. The parameter of interest may include solenoid settings, steering effects but also the influence of the post acceleration of the ion source and potential effects of space charge compensation. Two emittance scanner are installed and can be combined with scintillator acting as a beam profile monitor and auxiliaries like current measurement.

The Quarter-Wave Resonators (QWR) section of the FRIB superconducting driver linac is required to accelerate Uranium beam up to 16 MeV/u in two different charge states simultaneously. This puts severe requirements on resonators alignment and field quality, in order to avoid beam losses and emittance growth. In particular, QWR beam steering can cause transverse oscillations of the beam centroid which reduce the linac acceptance and induces emittance growth. We have studied, with an analytical model and with 3D beam dynamics simulations, correction methods for the FRIB QWRs steering. We found that cavity shifting can provide effective steering cancellation in FRIB QWRs without need of cavity shape modifications, and allows to eliminate transverse beam oscillations and to improve beam quality. Calculation and simulation methods and results will be presented and discussed.
Michigan State University designs and establishes FRIB as a DOE Office of Science National User Facility in support of the mission of the Office of Nuclear Physics.

An ultrafast probe apparatus based on MeV ultrafast electron diffraction is developed at Tsinghua University. It aims at generating 1.5 to 3 MeV pulse with sub-pC charge and sub-ps pulse length for pump-probe experiments. It consists of an S-band 1.6-cell radiofrequency photocathode gun, a solenoid, a sample chamber, a deflecting cavity, a detection system and other diagnostics tools. Simulations show the position of solenoid coil affects the spot size on detection screen and the charge of collimated bunch significantly. The collimator is found to be helpful to stabilize the charge of collimated bunch and reduce its normalized emittance. The construction of the apparatus is almost finished and the commissioning test will start soon.

Paramagnetic neutral atoms and molecules are subject to magnetic-field-gradient forces on their magnetic moments. Li atoms and CaH molecules both have an effective magnetic moment of about one Bohr magneton, and in the presence of a strong (~1 T) magnetic field, acquire a Zeeman energy of one of two values, ±μ|B|. Particles with positive (negative) energy are repelled by (attracted toward) increasing fields. Li and CaH can be laser-cooled to speeds of tens of m/s and the corresponding magnetic fields needed for transport and injection are on the order of 1 T. The stable stored state is the field-repelled state. Many concepts of accelerator physics apply to our neutral particles. The analog of charge-exchange injection into storage rings is laser-based optical pumping from a field-seeking state to a field-repelled state. The role of dipoles in charged-particle optics is played by quadrupoles in neutral particle optics, and the role of quadrupoles by sextupoles. We present our design and tracking results for a neutral atom/molecule accumulator including an injection chicane with a laser-stimulated state-flip.

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.

  The International Design Study for the Neutrino Factory will produce a reference design report in 2013 that will contain a detailed performance analysis of the Neutrino Factory and a cost estimate. In order to determine the cost a number of engineering features need to be included in the accelerator physics design, which can require the physics design to be re-optimized. The cost estimate is determined in such a way as to make efficient use of the engineering resources available and to simplify the process of modifying the physics design to include engineering features. This paper will present details of the methodology used to determine the cost estimate and the current status of each subsystem.

  The (International Design Report) IDR neutrino factory scenario for capture, bunching, phase-energy rotation and initial cooling of muons produced from a proton source target is presented. It requires a drift section from the target, a bunching section and a phase-energy rotation section leading into the cooling channel. The rf frequency changes along the bunching and rotation transport in order to form the muons into a train of equal-energy bunches suitable for cooling and acceleration. This design is being explored within the IDR cost model. Important concerns are rf limitations and beam losses. Recent experiments on rf gradient limits suggest preferred configurations for the rf within the magnetic fields, and these considerations are incorporated into the front end design.

  The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), under construction at RAL, will test and characterize a prototype cooling channel for a future Neutrino Factory or Muon Collider. The cooling channel aims to achieve, using liquid hydrogen absorbers, a 10% reduction in transverse emittance. The change in 4D emittance will be determined with a relative accuracy of 1% by measuring muons individually. Muon detectors include two scintillating fibre trackers embedded within 4 T solenoid fields, TOF counters and a muon ranger. Step IV of MICE will begin in 2012, producing the experiment's first precise emittance-reduction measurements. Multiple scattering in candidate Step IV absorber materials was studied in G4MICE, based on GEANT4. Equilibrium emittances for low-Z materials from hydrogen to aluminium can be studied experimentally in Step IV of MICE, and compared with simulations.

The Helical Cooling Channel (HCC), a novel technique for six-dimensional (6D) ionization cooling of muon beams, has shown considerable promise based on analytic and simulation studies. However, the implementation of this revolutionary method of muon cooling requires new techniques for the integration of hydrogen-pressurized, high-power RF cavities into the low-temperature superconducting magnets of the HCC. We present the progress toward a conceptual design for the integration of 805 MHz RF cavities into a 10 T Nb3Sn based HCC test section. We include discussions on the pressure and thermal barriers needed within the cryostat to maintain operation of the magnet at 4.2 K while operating the RF and energy absorber at a higher temperature. Additionally, we include progress on the Nb3Sn helical solenoid design

  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.  
 
TUPPD017 Electromagnetic Design of RF Cavities for Accelerating Low-Energy Muons cavity, linac, vacuum, resonance 1446
 
  • S.S. Kurennoy
    LANL, Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
  
  A high-gradient linear accelerator for accelerating low-energy muons and pions in a strong solenoidal magnetic field has been proposed for homeland defense and industrial applications.* The acceleration starts immediately after collection of pions from a target in a solenoidal magnetic field and brings decay muons, which initially have kinetic energies mostly around 15-20 MeV, to 200 MeV over a distance of ~10 m. At this energy, both ionization cooling and further, more conventional acceleration of the muon beam become feasible. A normal-conducting linac with external-solenoid focusing can provide the required large beam acceptances. The linac consists of independently fed zero-mode (TM010) RF cavities with wide beam apertures closed by thin conducting edge-cooled windows. Electromagnetic design of the cavity, including its RF coupler, tuning and vacuum elements, and field probes, has been developed with the CST MicroWave Studio, and will be presented.

  We present a novel concept of a low-energy e+ source with projected intensity on the order of 1010 slow e+/s. The key components of this concept are a continuous wave e- beam, a rotating positron-production target, a synchronized raster/anti-raster, a transport channel, and extraction of e+ into a field-free area through a magnetic plug for moderation in a cryogenic solid. Components were designed in the framework of GEANT4-based (G4beamline) Monte Carlo simulation and TOSCA magnetic field calculation codes. Experimental data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the magnetic plug is presented.

  For high luminosity electron-positron colliders, intense positron beam production is one of the key issues as well as electron. Flux Concentrator (FC) is a pulsed solenoid that can generate high magnetic field of several Tesla and is often used for focusing positrons emerged from a production target. It works as an optical matching device in a positron capture section. With this device, high capture efficiency is achieved. In this paper, we will discuss a design optimization of a FC for the SuperKEKB positron source. Geometrical parameters of the FC are optimized to achieve high peak field using the CST EM Studio. Magnetic field distribution evaluated with the EM Studio is implemented into a particle tracking code to see a performance of the positron capture section. The tracking simulation includes a positron production at the target, focusing by the FC and subsequent solenoids and acceleration by RF structures till the end of the capture section. We report the results of a FC design optimized for higher positron yield with the tracking simulation.

  SRF photoelectron guns offer the promise of high brightness, high average current beam production for the next generation of accelerator driven light sources such as free electron lasers, THz radiation sources or energy-recovery linac driven synchrotron radiation sources. In a first step a fully superconducting RF (SRF) photoelectron gun is under development by a collaboration between HZB, DESY, JLAB, BNL and NCBJ. The aim of the experiment is to understand and improve the performance of a Nb SRF gun cavity coated with a small metallic Pb cathode film on the cavity backplane. This paper describes the highlights from the commissioning and beam parameter measurements. The main focus is on lessons learned from operation of the SRF gun.

  The Wisconsin superconducting electron gun is modeled with multiparticle tracking simulations using the ASTRA and GPT codes. To specify the construction of the emittance-compensation solenoid, we studied the dependence of the output bunch's emittance upon the solenoid's strength and field errors. We also evaluated the dependence of the output bunch's emittance upon the bunch's initial emittance and the size of the laser spot on the photocathode. The results suggest that a 200-pC bunch with an emittance of about one mm-mrad can be produced for a free-electron laser.

  At the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University, we have been operating a 44 MeV L-band RF (1300 MHz) linear accelerator (LINAC) for various user applications such as medical isotope production, Laser Compton Scattering (LCS), positron annihilation energy spectroscopy, and photo fission. But the LINAC is not optimized properly to supply high quality electron beam for those experiments due to limitations of an existing 85 kV thermionic DC gun. In the near future, we are planning to use the L-band LINAC for new user applications such as Accelerator Driven subcritical nuclear reactor System (ADS), photon tagging facility, Ultrafast Electron Diffraction (UED) facility, and high power coherent Terahertz light source facility. Therefore, recently, we have been studying a future upgrade of the L-band LINAC with an RF photoinjector using ASTRA code. In this paper, we describe ASTRA simulation results and a new layout of the L-band LINAC, which is based on an L-band 1.5 cell RF photoinjector. Then, we describe its expected performance for two different single bunch charges (1 nC and 5 nC).

The full physics potential of the International Linear Collider (ILC) is expected to be optimized by using polarized electron and positron beams. To ensure that no significant polarization can be lost during the transport of the electron and positron beams from the source to the interaction region, spin tracking has to be included in all transport elements which can contribute to a potential loss of polarization. The possible sources of depolarization such as the spin rotators and the damping ring have been investigated for the current ILC baseline. The detailed spin tracking simulations and study depolarization was performed by using BMAD and SLICKTRACK computer codes. The new results of our simulations for the ILC are presented.

At the ILC, positrons are produced with longitudinal polarization at the source. In order to preserve the polarization, the spin must be rotated into the vertical direction prior to injection into the damping rings. A new design of the spin rotator is presented that allows to randomly switch between the two vertical orientations between successive bunch trains. After rotating the spin back to longitudinal polarization, this corresponds to a choice between the two possible helicity states at the interaction point. The fast flipping is achieved by inserting two parallel spin rotation sections with opposite polarities, with a fast magnet that allows to choose between the sections.

Muons for a Muon Collider are diffusely produced from pion decay. They are first phase rotated into a trains of bunches. The trains are ionization cooled in all six dimensions until they can be merged into single bunches, one of each sign. They are then further cooled in six dimensions before acceleration and injection into the collider. This merging matches more efficiently into the second phase of cooling if the merging is also in six dimensions. A scheme to do this is proposed. Groups of 3, of the initial 12, bunches are merged longitudinally into 4 longer bunches, using rf with multiple harmonics. These 4 are then kicked into 4 separate (trombone) channels of different lengths to bring them to closely packed transverse locations at the same time. Here they are captured into a single bunch with now increased transverse emittance.

  In order to achieve a luminosity of 8x1035 cm-2 s-1, the SuperKEKB injector is required to provide both e+e− beams higher in intensity by a factor 4-5 than those for KEKB, and with a low emittance of about 20 um. A damping ring is used to fulfill this low emittance requirement for e+, but the intensity increase is realized by a larger yield from the conversion target to the damping ring. To this end, the L-band capture system is adopted to increase the transverse and longitudinal acceptance. The capture section consists of a Tungsten conversion target with flux concentrator followed by two L-band 2.4m-long accelerating structures and continuing to the large aperture S-band 2m-long ones. The L-band frequency of 1.3 GHz, 5/11 times S-band one, was adopted to suppress the satellite bunches in the S-band system. This L-band system is surrounded by a solenoid magnet producing 4kG on axis. To compose compact magnet system, the output coupler of the L-band accelerating structure is replaced by the Kanthal coated collinear load section. In this paper, we will discuss the design of the accelerating structure and present the studies of Kanthal layer coated on copper.

  A critical aspect of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) design is represented by the Accelerator/Experiment interface (called Machine Detector Interface or MDI). In the 3 TeV CLIC layout, the final focus QD0 quadrupole will be located inside the end-cap of the detector itself. This complex MDI scenario required to be simulated with a full 3D-FE analysis. This study was critical to check and control the magnetic cross-talk between the Detector Solenoid and the final Focus QD0 magnet and therefore to optimize the design of an “antisolenoids” system needed to shield the QD0 and the e−/e+ beams from the detector magnetic field. In this paper the development and evolution of the computational FE model is presented together with the results obtained and their implication on the CLIC MDI Design.

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.

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.

  A new X band RF Gun (Mark-0) has been assembled, tuned and is being tested in the ASTA facility at SLAC. This gun has been improved from an earlier gun used in Compton-scattering experiments at SLAC by the introduction of a racetrack dual-input coupler to reduce quadrupole fields. Waveguide-to-coupler irises were also redesigned to reduce surface magnetic fields and therefore peak pulse surface heating. Tests of this photocathode gun will allow us to gain early operational experience for beam tests of a new gun with further improvements (Mark-1) being prepared for SLAC’s X-Band Test Accelerator (XTA) program and the LLNL MegaRay program. Results of current testing up to ≈ 200 MV/m peak surface Electric fields will be presented.

Due to fabrication tolerance, it is expected that some geometrical variations could happen to the SSR1 cavities of Project X, like small shifts in the transverse direction of the beam pipe or the spoke. It is necessary to evaluate the resultant transverse kick due to these geometrical variations, in order to make sure that they are within the limits of the correctors in the solenoids. In this paper, we report the transverse kick values for various fabrications errors and the sensitivity of the beam to these errors.

Fermilab is planning to design and build a Project X Injector Experiment (PXIE), a cw linac, as a means of validating the Project X concept, reducing technical risks, and obtaining experience in the design and operation of a superconducting proton linac. The overall facility will include an ion source, low and medium-energy beam transport sections, a radio frequency quadrupole, and two cryomodules containing superconducting cavities. One will contain nine half-wave resonators operating at 162.5 MHz and six superconducting solenoids. The second will contain eight single spoke resonators (SSR1) operating at 325 MHz and four superconducting solenoids. This paper describes the design of the cryomodule being developed to house the 325 MHz single spoke resonators. Each of the main cryomodule systems will be described; cryogenic systems and instrumentation, cavity and solenoid positioning and alignment, conduction-cooled current leads, RF input couplers, magnetic shielding, cold-to-warm beam tube transitions, interfaces to interconnecting equipment and adjacent modules, as well as the overall assembly procedure.

An advanced, modular bottom-supported cryomodule design is described which is highly optimized for mass-production and efficient precision-assembly. The FRIB driver linac uses 4 types of superconducting resonators and 2 solenoid lengths which in turn require 7 individual cryomodule configurations. To meet alignment tolerances a precision-machined bolted cryomodule rail system is described. A novel, kinematic mounting system of the cold mass is introduced which allows for thermal contractions while preserving alignment. A first prototype will incorporate a wire position monitor for alignment verification. The cold alignment structure is supported by composite posts which also function as thermal isolators. The cryogenic system provides separate 2 K and 4.5 K liquid helium lines to cavities and solenoids. Details of the JT valves, heat exchanger, cool-down circuit and junction to cryogenic line will be provided. Transient cool-down was simulated for stresses and buckling failure. A 1100-O Aluminum shield is used as a thermal radiation shield. The paper also describes cryomodule interfaces with the linac tunnel, the RF input cables, and the cryogenic distribution system.

An 805 MHz RF pillbox cavity has been designed and constructed to investigate potential muon beam acceleration and cooling techniques for a Muon Collider or Neutrino Factory. The cavity can operate in vacuum or under pressure to 100 atmospheres, at room temperature or in a liquid nitrogen bath at 77 K. The cavity has been designed for easy assembly and disassembly with bolted construction using aluminum seals. To perform vacuum and high pressure breakdown studies of materials and geometries most suitable for the collider or factory, the surfaces of the end walls of the cavity can be replaced with different materials such as copper, aluminum, beryllium, or molybdenum, and with different geometries such as shaped windows or grid structures. The cavity has been designed to fit inside the 5-Tesla solenoid in the MuCool Test Area at Fermilab. In this paper we present the vacuum conditioning results and discuss plans for testing in a 5-Tesla magnetic field. Additionally, we discuss the testing plan for beryllium (a material research has shown to be ideal for the collider or factory) end walls.

The Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) is an international effort to demonstrate the principle of ionization cooling in a segment of a realistic cooling channel using a muon beam. The experiment is sited at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in England. A 4-tesla uniform field region at each end of the cooling channel will be provided by a pair of identical, 3-m long spectrometer solenoids. As the beam enters and exits the cooling channel, the emittance will be measured within both the upstream and downstream 400 mm diameter magnet bores. Each magnet consists of a three-coil spectrometer magnet group and a two-coil pair that matches the solenoid uniform field into the adjacent MICE cooling channel. An array of five two-stage cryocoolers and one single-stage cryocooler are used to maintain the temperature of the magnet cold mass, radiation shield and current leads. Previous testing revealed several operational and design issues related to heat leak and quench protection that have since been corrected. Details of the magnet design modifications and their final assembly as well as the results of quench training tests will be presented here.

A self-consistent design is described of a modified 34.3 GHz magnicon amplifier with a TE311-mode output cavity, to replace the existing magnicon at Yale Beam Physics Lab Test Facility whose output cavity operates in the TM310 mode. The main goal for the new design is to achieve robust reliable operation. This is expected since tube performance – according to simulations – is largely insensitive to the magnitude of external dc magnetic fields, including imperfections in magnetic field profile; small changes in gun voltage and current; changes in electron beam radial size; and even poorly matched external circuitry. The new tube, as with its predecessor, is a third harmonic amplifier, with drive and deflection gain cavities near 11.424 GHz and output cavity at 34.272 GHz. The design calculations predict stable output of power of 20-27 MW at a 10 Hz repetition rate in pulses up to 1.3 μs long, with a low probability of breakdown in the output cavity because of low electric fields (less than 650 kV/cm).

  A high power fundamental RF power coupler (FPC) with an adjustable in situ coupling factor would be highly desirable for a number of applications; for example, the 352 MHz light source at APS and Project X. A Phase I project has been completed with a prototype constructed and modeled. The prototype includes a coaxial TEE with two windows a quarter wavelength apart, and a ferrite tuner. Two materials were tested and their characteristics measured in terms of loss and magnetic field requirements to produce the desired change in coupling. A VSWR of better than 1.05:1 and a bandwidth of at least 8% at 1.15:1 was measured. The tradeoffs of a final design are proposed based upon these results.

  The SuperKEKB is the electron-positron collider, and the target luminosity is 8×1035 cm-2s−1, which is 40 times larger than the attained luminosity of KEKB. The beam final focus system consists of many types of superconducting magnets as 8 quadrupoles, 40 correctors and 4 compensation solenoids. These focusing magnets and correctors are designed to be operated inside the particle detector, Belle, and under the solenoid field of 1.5 T. From the analysis of beam optics, the solenoid field profile has serious impact on the beam vertical emittance. We designs the solenoid field profile along the Belle axis in a 2-dimensional model as the first step, and now we developed this model to the 3-dimensional calculation in detail. The solenoid field profiles along the both beam lines are generated with the combine solenoid field by the Belle solenoid and the compensation solenoids, and the magnetic components of the magnets and the magnetic shields on the beam lines. The model is very complicate. From the calculation results, we will discuss the influence on the beam optics and the final focusing magnet system.

  Superconducting magnets for high intensity accelerators and particle sources are exposed to severe radiation from beam collisions and other beam losses. Neutron fluence on the superconducting magnets for the next generation projects of high energy particle physics, such as LHC upgrades and the COMET experiment at J-PARC, is expected to exceed 1021 n/m2, which is close to the requirements on the fusion reactor magnets. Irradiation effects at low temperature in superconducting magnet materials should be reviewed to estimate the stability of the superconducting magnet system in operation and its life. The pion capture superconducting solenoids for the COMET experiment are designed with aluminum stabilized superconducting cable to reduce the nuclear heating by neutrons. Also, the heat is designed to be transferred in pure aluminum strips. Irradiation effects on the electrical conductance of aluminum stabilizer and other materials are tested at cryogenic temperature using the reactor neutrons. This paper describes the study on the irradiation effects for the magnet developments.

YBCO coated conductors are one of the primary options for generating the high magnetic fields needed for future high energy physics devices. Due to slow quench propagation, quench detection remains one of the primary limitations to YBCO magnets. Fiber optic sensing, based upon Rayleigh scattering, has the potential for quench detection with high spatial resolution. This paper discusses the potential of multicore CPU's and FPGA’s to accelerate the signal processing demands associated with Rayleigh scattering based quench detection systems in a real-time environment.

  Modern ion accelerators and ion implantation systems need very short, highly versatile, Low Energy Beam Transport (LEBT) systems. The need for reliable and continuous operation requires LEBT designs to be simple and robust. The energy efficiency of available high temperature superconductors (HTS), with efficient and simple cryocooler refrigeration, is an additional attraction. Innovative, compact LEBT systems based on solenoids designed and built with high-temperature superconductor will be developed using computer models and prototyped. The parameters will be chosen to make this type of LEBT useful in a variety of ion accelerators, ion implantation systems, cancer therapy synchrotrons, and research accelerators, including the ORNL SNS. The benefits of solenoids made with HTS will be evaluated with analytical and numerical calculations for a two-solenoid configuration, as will be used in the SNS prototype LEBT that will replace the electrostatic one at SNS, and a single solenoid configuration, as was proposed for the Fermilab proton driver that will be most applicable to ion implantation applications.

This paper will present the construction and test results of a ~10 T insert coil solenoid which is part of a proposed ~35 T solenoid being developed under a series of SBIR contracts involving collaboration between Particle Beam Lasers (PBL) and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The solenoid has an inner diameter of 25 mm, outer diameter of ~95 mm and a length of ~70 mm. It consists of 14 single pancake coils made from 4 mm wide 2G HTS conductor from SuperPower Inc., co-wound with a 4 mm wide, 0.025 mm thick stainless steel tape. These are paired into 7 double pancake coils. Each double pancake coil has been individually tested at 77 K before assembly in a complete solenoid. The solenoid is nearly ready for a high field test at ~4K.

  Beam dynamics studies were made with the LORASR code for the planned superconducting (sc)continuous wave (cw) linear accelerator. It comprises a fixed accelerating part with an output energy of 3.5 MeV/u at a design mass/charge ratio of 6 and an energy variable part with an output energy of up to 7.3 MeV/u. The general layout, which provides for nine cavities combined with seven separate solenoids for a total length of 12.7 m, is based on a basic design by A. Minaev*. The recent studies show the parameter study for output energy variation. The statistical rotational and transverse offset error calculations illuminate the tolerances for acceptable errors. These are particularly relevant in the beam dynamics within a superconducting environment. Further calculations focus on varying the charge-to-mass ratio to reach linac energies up to 10 MeV/u, meeting the requirements of future UNILAC experiments.

  Linac4 is a160 MeV normal-conducting linear accelerator for negative Hydrogen ions (H−), which will replace the 50 MeV proton Linac (Linac2) as linear injector for the CERN accelerators. The low energy part, comprising a 45 keV Low Energy Beam Transport system (LEBT), a 3 MeV Radiofrequency Quadrupole (RFQ) and a Medium Energy Beam Transport (MEBT) is being assembled in a dedicated test stand for pre-commissioning with a proton beam. During 2011 extensive measurements were done after the source and after the LEBT with the aim of preparing the RFQ commissioning and validating the simulation tools, indispensable for future source upgrades. The measurements have been thoroughly simulated with a multi-particle code, including 2D magnetic field maps, error studies, steering studies and the generation of beam distribution from measurements. Emittance, acceptance and transmission measurements will be presented and compared to the results of the simulations.

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

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

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

The FRIB linac driver will deliver heavy ion beams up to uranium, with an energy of 200 MeV/u and total power on target of 400 kW. To reach the design power for heaviest ions, multi-charge-state beams will be accelerated simultaneously in this SRF linac. Beam tuning of the linac driver is among the most challenging tasks. In this paper, we discuss the beam tuning strategy, which includes the cavity synchronous phase and acceleration gradient setup, beam trajectory correction, and transverse matching with horizontal-vertical coupled beams as superconducting solenoids are used for transverse focusing in the linac segments.

  The International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) aiming at generating materials irradiation test data for DEMO and future fusion power plants is based on an accelerator-driven, D-Li neutron source to produce high energy neutrons at sufficient intensity and irradiation volume. IFMIF Engineering Validation and Engineering Design Activities (EVEDA) have been conducted since mid 2007 in the framework of the Broader Approach Agreement and the scope of the project has been recently revised to set priority on the validation activities, especially on the Accelerator Prototype (LIPAc) with extending the duration up to mid 2017 in order to better fit the development of the challenging components and the commissioning of the whole accelerator. This paper summarizes the present status of the LIPAc, currently under construction at Rokkasho in Japan, outlines the engineering design and the developments of the major components, as well as the expected outcomes of the engineering work, associated with the experimental program.

Recent progress on the design and fabrication of the RFCC (RF and Coupling Coil) module for the international MICE (Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment) will be reported. The MICE ionization cooling channel has two RFCC modules; each having four 201-MHz normal conducting RF cavities surrounded by one superconducting coupling coil (solenoid) magnet. The magnet is designed to be cooled by 3 cryocoolers. Fabrication of the RF cavities is complete; preparation for the cavity electro-polishing, low power RF measurements and tuning are in progress at LBNL. Fabrication of the cold mass of the first coupling coil magnet has been completed in China and the cold mass arrived at LBNL in late 2011. Preparations for testing the cold mass are currently under way at Fermilab. Plans for the RFCC module assembly and integration are being developed and will be described.

We are designing two electron lenses that will be installed at RHIC IR10 to compensate for the head-on beam-beam effect. To clear accumulated scattered electrons from 100 GeV proton-electron head-on collisions in the e-lens, a clearing split electrode may be constructed. The feasibility of this proposed electrode was demonstrated via the CST Particle Studio and Opera program simulations. By splitting one of the drift tubes in the e-lens and applying ~ 380 V across the two parts, the scattered electrons can be cleared out within several hundred micro-seconds. At the same time we can restrict the unwanted shift of the primary electron-beam that already passed the 2-m interaction region in e-lens, to less than 15um.

  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.
