Electron clouds have the potential to pose serious limitations on accelerator performance in both hadron and lepton beams. Experiments using rf diagnostics are being performed to measure electron cloud densities at a number of accelerator facilities. However, it is difficult to calibrate plasma density with signal strength in these experiments, and modeling involves a number of technical and numerical challenges. Typically 2-Dimensional electrostatic methods have been used to model cloud buildup under beam crossing conditions. However, since traveling-wave rf experiments typically occur over many meters of beam pipe where magnetic fields are changing, one needs to develop 3-Dimensional electromagnetic models in order to accurately simulate rf diagnostics. We have developed accurate models of electron cloud-induced phase shifts in rf in a system with spatially varying magnetic field configurations using the plasma simulation code VORPAL. We present here results for measuring phase shifts in the CESR wiggler with realistic, spatially non-uniform magnetic field configurations.

  The intensity distribution of a charged-particle beam is transformed by applying the nonlinear focusing force of a multipole magnet. In this paper, the transformation of the transverse intensity distribution due to the second-order sextupole and third-order octupole focusing force in the beam transport line is explored. As a measure of the distribution transformation induced by the multipole magnets, the beam centroid displacement and the change of the beam size have been analytically derived using the distribution function of the beam. It is numerically verified how the transverse distribution of the beam is transformed by the multipole magnets. As an application of the distribution transformation by nonlinear focusing, a uniform beam can be formed from a Gaussian beam using multipole magnets. The current status and future plan of the experiment on the uniform-beam formation at the cyclotron facility in Japan Atomic Energy Agency will be shown.

  The SuperB collider design is based on extremely low emittances, comparable to those of synchrotron light sources. A Low Emittance Tuning (LET) algorithm was developed for SuperB and has been tested last year at DIAMOND. This paper will report on the results of the application of LET to SLS (PSI) and DAΦNE (LNF) in order to compare and confirm the previous results. In this tests, the correction of orbit, dispersion and coupling is applied simultaneously to the detection of Beam Position Monitors tilts. The effect of beam based alignment at DAΦNE is also presented, together with an evaluation of the effects of other possible sources of emittance growth.
