  The Beam Position Monitors (BPMs) are usually used in the particles accelerators to observe position of the beam and to record longitudinal bunch shape. As the vertical beam size demands beam stabilities on the submicron level in the particle accelerators, there must be a sever precision on designing and fabrication of the BPMs. In this paper, we have explored effect of the BPMs on the total impedance and loss factor of the ILSF storage ring.

  A program code for 6D tracking has been developed taking into account IBS (Intra-Beam Scattering) and Touschek effect and using Monte-Carlo method. The simulation algorithm has been developed on the basis of well-known IBS theory presented in (*). The resulting program can be executed using GPGPU devices (General-Purpose Graphics Processing Units) supporting CUDA technology (Compute Unified Device Architecture).

  The production process of pions which then decay into muons, yields a muon beam with large transverse and longitudinal emittances. Such beam requires phase space manipulation to reduce the total 6D emittance before it could go through any acceleration stage. The design of the muon beam manipulation is based on Neutrino Factory front end design. In this study we report on a multi objective - multivariable global optimization of the front end using parallel genetic algorithm. The parallel optimization algorithm and the optimization strategy will be discussed and the optimized results will be presented as well.

The computation of eigenmodes for complex accelerating structures is a challenging and important task for the design and operation of particle accelerators. Discretizing long and complex structures to determine its eigenmodes leads to demanding computations typically performed on super computers. This contribution presents an application example of a method to compute eigenmodes and other parameters derived from these eigenmodes for long and complex structures using standard workstation computers. This is accomplished by the decomposition of the complex structure into several single segments. In a next step, the electromagnetic properties of the segments are described in terms of a compact state space model. Subsequently, the state space models of the single structures are concatenated to the full structure. The results of direct calculations are compared with results obtained by the concatenation scheme in terms of computational time and accuracy.

Recent discovery of a Higgs boson boosted interest in a low-energy medium-luminosity Muon Collider as a Higgs Factory (HF). A preliminary design of the HF storage ring (SR) is based on cos-theta Nb3Sn superconducting (SC) magnets with the coil inner diameter ranging from 50 cm in the interaction region to 16 cm in the arc. The coil cross-sections were chosen based on the operation margin, field quality and quench protection considerations to provide an adequate space for the beam pipe, helium channel and inner absorber (liner). With the 62.5-GeV muon energy and 2×1012 muons per bunch, the electrons from muon decays deposit about 300 kW in the SC magnets, or unprecedented 1 kW/m dynamic heat load, which corresponds to a multi-MW room temperature equivalent. Based on the detailed MARS15 model built and intense simulations, a sophisticated protection system was designed for the entire SR to bring the peak power density in the SC coils safely below the quench limit and reduce the dynamic heat load to the cold mass by a factor of 100. The system consists of tight tungsten masks in the magnet interconnect regions and elliptical tungsten liners optimized for each magnet.

The International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment is progressing towards a full demonstration of the feasibility of ionization cooling technology decisive for neutrino physics and muon colliders. Step IV should provide the first precise measurements of emittances and first evidence of cooling. The components required for Step IV, including spectrometer solenoids, muon trackers and absorber-FC (focus coil) modules have been assembled with data collection expected in 2015. The physics programme of this Step will be described in detail, with LiH and a few other promising absorber materials of different shapes.

In Muon Accelerators muons are produced by impacting high energy protons onto a target to produce pions. The pions decay to muons which are then accelerated. Through this process a significant background of protons and electrons are generated, which may result in heat deposition on superconducting materials and activation of the machine. In this paper we propose a two-step particle selection scheme: a chicane to remove the high momentum particles from the beam and a Beryllium block absorber that reduces momentum of all particles in the beam, resulting in the loss of low momentum protons. We review the design and numerically examine its impact on the performance of the muon front-end.

  The EUROnu project was a 4 year FP7 design study to investigate and compare three possible options for future, high power neutrino oscillation facilities in Europe. These three facilities are a Neutrino Factory, a neutrino superbeam from CERN to the Frejus Laboratory and a so-called Beta Beam. The study was completed at the end of 2012 and has produced conceptual designs for the facilities and preliminary cost estimates. The designs were used to determine the physics performance. These have been used to compare the facilities. This paper will describe the designs, physics performance and costs and summarise the recommendations of the study.

  A concept is presented for a Target System in a staged scenario for a Neutrino Factory and eventual Muon Collider, with emphasis on initial operation with a 6.75 GeV proton beam of 1 MW power, and 50 Hz of pulses 3-ns long. A radiation cooled graphite target will be used in the initial configuration, with an option to replace this with a free-liquid-metal-jet target should 4-MW beam power become available at a later stage.

FFAG rings with a racetrack configuration are very promising as their flexible design allow for dedicated spaces for injection/extraction, RF cavities etc. A racetrack FFAG is considered as an option for the nuSTORM facility, which aims to deliver neutrino beams produced from the decay of muons stored in a ring with long sections pointing towards detectors. In this paper we discuss the definition of dynamic aperture in these machines and use the PyZgoubi framework to compute the many turn motion in the nuSTORM ring. The roles of machine imperfections and symmetry are discussed.

The High Luminosity LHC project is aimed at increasing the LHC luminosity by an order of magnitude. One of the key ingredients to achieve the luminosity goal is the beam intensity increase. In order to keep under control beam instabilities and to avoid excessive power losses a careful design of new vacuum chamber components and an improvement of the present LHC impedance model are required. Collimators are the main impedance contributors. Measurements with beam have revealed that the betatron coherent tune shifts were by about a factor of 2 higher with respect to the theoretical predictions based on the current model. Up to now the resistive wall impedance has been considered as the major impedance contribution for collimators. By carefully simulating their geometric impedance we show that for the graphite collimators with half-gaps higher than 10 mm the geometric impedance exceeds the resistive wall one. In turn, for the tungsten collimators the geometric impedance dominates for all used gap values. Hence, including the geometric collimator impedance into the LHC impedance model enabled us to reach a better agreement between the measured and simulated collimator tune shifts.

Muon-based facilities offer unique potential to provide capabilities at both the Intensity Frontier with Neutrino Factories and the Energy Frontier with Muon Colliders. They rely on a novel technology with challenging parameters, for which the feasibility is currently being evaluated by the Muon Accelerator Program (MAP). A realistic scenario for a complementary series of staged facilities with increasing complexity and significant physics potential at each stage has been developed. It takes advantage of and leverages the capabilities already planned for Fermilab, especially the strategy for long-term improvement of the accelerator complex being initiated with the Proton Improvement Plan (PIP-II) and the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF). Each stage is designed to provide an R&D platform to validate the technologies required for subsequent stages. The rationale and sequence of the staging process and the critical issues to be addressed at each stage, are presented.

WEPME004 Prediction of Severe Electron Loading of High-gradient Accelerating Structures based on Field Emission Measurements of Nb and Cu Samples electron, cavity, vacuum, high-voltage 2258

Enhanced field emission (EFE) limits the performance of both superconducting and normal conducting high-gradient accelerating structures. Systematic field emission scanning microscopy and correlated SEM/EDX measurements of relevant Nb and Cu samples have revealed particulates and surface irregularities with field enhancement factors b = 10 - 90 as origin of EFE. Based on sufficient emitter statistics, an exponential increase of the emitter number density N with increasing surface field (E) was found. This allows a prediction of the EFE loading of future ILC and CLIC accelerating structures by scaling of N to relevant E and using a weighted integration over the high-field cavity surface. Accordingly, an electropolished (Ra < 300 nm) and dry-ice cleaned (DIC) TESLA-shape 9-cell 1.3 GHz Nb cavity * will still suffer from EFE at Eacc = 35 MV/m (N = 0.3 /cm² at Epeak = 70 MV/m). Moreover, a diamond-turned, chemically etched and DIC 11.2 GHz Cu structure ** will breakdown at Eacc = 100 MV/m (N = 20 /cm² at Epeak = 243 MV/m). Possible improvements, i.e. by emitter processing will be discussed.

WEPME005 Enhanced Field Emission and Emitter Activation on Flat Dry-ice Cleaned Cu Samples site, electron, vacuum, gun 2261

  Enhanced field emission (EFE), resulting in dark currents and electric breakdowns, is one of the main gradient limitations for the CLIC accelerating structures (actual design Eacc = 100 MV/m, Epeak = 240 MV/m *). Measurements on diamond-turned, flat (Ra = 158 nm) Cu samples showed first EFE at surface fields Es = 130 MV/m. In order to reduce EFE, we have installed a commercial dry ice cleaning (DIC) system in a clean room environment (class iso 5). Accordingly, the number density of emitters (N) was significantly decreased by DIC from N = 52 /cm² to N = 12 /cm² at Es = 190 MV/m. Furthermore we have tested two diamond-turned and chemically etched (SLAC treatment, Ra = 150 nm) Cu samples after DIC resulting in EFE onset at 230 MV/m. Locally measured I(V) curves of the strongest emitters yielded field enhancement factors b = 10 – 90 (10 – 85) on the diamond-turned (chemically etched), respectively. SEM and EDX investigations of the located emission sites revealed surface defects and few particulates (Al, Ca, Si) as origin of the EFE. Moreover, strong emitter activation effects were observed. A possible breakdown mechanism based on this EFE activation will be discussed.

WEPME040 Development of Aluminium Vacuum Chambers for the LHC Experiments at CERN vacuum, experiment, beam-losses, electron 2354

  Beam losses may cause activation of vacuum chamber walls, in particular those of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. For the High Luminosity LHC, the activation of such vacuum chambers will increase. It is therefore necessary to use a vacuum chamber material which interacts less with the circulating beam. While beryllium is reserved for the collision point, a good compromise between cost, availability and transparency is obtained with aluminium alloys; such materials are a preferred choice with respect to austenitic stainless steel. Manufacturing a thin-wall aluminium vacuum chamber presents several challenges as the material grade needs to be machinable, weldable, leak-tight for small thicknesses, and able to withstand heating to 250°C for extended periods of time. This paper presents some of the technical challenges during the manufacture of these vacuum chambers and the methods for overcoming production difficulties, including surface treatments and NEG thin-film coating.

  Beryllium beam vacuum chambers pass through the aperture of the large dipole magnet and particle acceptance region of the LHCb experiment, coaxial to the LHC beam. At the interior of the magnet, a system of rods and cables supports the chambers, holding them rigidly in place, in opposition to the vacuum forces caused by their conical geometry. In the scope of the current upgrade program, the steel and aluminium structural components are replaced by a newly designed system, making use of Beryllium, in addition to a number of organic materials, and are optimized for overall transparency to incident particles. Presented in this paper are the design criteria, along with the unique design developments carried out at CERN, and furthermore, a description of the technologies procured from industrial partners, specifically in obtaining the best solution for the cable components.

Modern accelerator concepts for high intensity electron beams often require superconducting multicell RF-cavity-resonators in circular accelerators (e.g. storage rings). Caused by strong beam-cavity interaction and due to high quality factors of superconducting RF-structures special care of lower order (LOM) and higher order (HOM) modes must be taken. Various numerical studies were performed to numerically calculate the dependence of different figures of merit (e.g. external quality factors Qext) with respect to the geometry parameters and cell number of the RF-structure, focused on the propagation and damping of low and higher order modes. To ease the numerical effort an optimization routine has been developed which automatically optimizes the geometry based on goal functions. In this context it turned out that cell geometries defined by spline functions have advantages compared to the standard elliptical parametrization regularly used. The number of free parameters is substantially reduced which facilitates the search for optimum solutions.

The R&D program of the ILC-HiGrade group at DESY aims at a solid understanding and control of the industrial mass-production process of the superconducting radio-frequency accelerating cavities that are being manufactured for the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (EXFEL). This accelerator is currently under construction at DESY. As well as the main production cavities for XFEL, 24 additional cavities are being constructed as part of the ILC-HiGrade program. The goal is to identify the gradient-limiting factors and further refine the cavity-treatment technique to understand how to achieve gradients above 35 MV/m at >90% production yield in an industrial context. Techniques such as 2nd sound and temperature mapping for the quench detection, OBACHT optical inspections, as well as Centrifugal Barrel Polishing (CBP) and Local Grinding repair are foreseen as tools. Actual status, details, and achievements will be reported.

  Structures of alternating layers of superconducting (Sc) and insulating films formed on a bulk Sc proposed by A. Gurevich in 2006 are actively discussed these years, because of their great possibility in reducing power consumptions and in enhancing RF breakdown field of the Sc RF cavity. On Apr. 2013, we submitted general formulae for the vortex penetration field of the Sc layer and the shielded magnetic field on the bulk Sc for a structure with a single Sc layer and a single insulator layer formed on a bulk Sc, by which a combination of the thicknesses of Sc and insulator layers that can realize the enhanced RF breakdown field can be found for any given materials. In this contribution, we will show progresses during the last year. Comparisons between the formulae and experimental results, and extended formulae for more realistic models, such as a model with surface defects, will be shown.

In this paper we present the progress of the Higher-Order-Mode (HOM) coupler design for the high beta CERN SPL (Superconducting Proton Linac) cavities. This includes the RF transmission behavior as well as mechanical and thermal requirements and their optimizations. Warm RF measurements are presented for the first four high beta SPL Cavities made of bulk niobium. Moreover the first prototype of a HOMcoupler will be introduced and we discuss its characteristics and its tuning possibilities.

  The superconducting RF linac for LCLS-II calls for 1.3 GHz 9-cell cavities with an average intrinsic quality factor Q0 of 2.7·1010 at 2K and 16 MV/m accelerating gradient. A collaborative effort between Cornell University, FNAL, and JLab has been set up with the goal of developing and demonstrating a cavity treatment protocol for the LCLS-II cavities meeting these specifications. The high Q0 treatment protocol is based on nitrogen doping of the RF surface layer during a high temperature heat treatment. This novel SRF cavity preparation was recently developed at FNAL and shown to result in SRF cavities of very high Q0 at 2K with an increase in Q0 from low to medium fields. N-doped single cell cavities at Cornell, FNAL, and JLab routinely exceed LCLS-II specification. 9-cell N-doped cavities at FNAL achieve an average Q0(T=2K, 16 MV/m) of ≈ 3.4·1010 with an average quench field of ≈ 19 MV/m, meeting therefore overall with good margin the LCLS-II specification.

  SuperKEKB are now being constructed with a target luminosity of 8×1035 which is 40 times higher than KEKB. This luminosity can be achieved by the "Nano-Beam" scheme, in which both beams should be squeezed to about 50 nm at the beam interaction point, IP. The beam final focusing system consists of 8 superconducting quadrupole magnets, 4 superconducting solenoids and 43 superconducting corrector coils. The magnetic field measurement systems with the vertical cryostats were designed and constructed for performing the acceptance test of these magnets at 4 K. The field measurements are performed by the 6 different harmonic coils and a Hall probe. The higher order multi-pole field distributions along the magnet axes are very important for the beam operation, and then these distributions are measured with the 20 mm long harmonic coils. The integral fields of quadrupole magnets are measured with the 600 mm long harmonic coils. We will describe the magnetic field measurement system.

Turkish Accelerator Center (TAC) Project has started with support of the Ministry of Development (MD) of Turkey under the coordination of Ankara University. TAC is an inter-university collaboration with 12 Turkish Universities. An IR FEL facility (TARLA) based on Sc linac with 15-40 MeV energy under construction in Ankara as the first facility of TAC. It is expected that the TARLA facility will be commissioning in 2017. In addition to the TARLA, it is planned that Turkish Accelerator Center will include a third generation synchrotron radiation facility based on 1-3 GeV electron synchrotron (TAC SR), a fourth generation SASE FEL facility based on up to 5 GeV electron linac (TAC SASE FEL), a multi-purpose proton accelerator facility with 3 MeV-2 GeV beam energy (TAC PAF) and an electron-positron collider as a super charm factory (TAC PF). Construction phase of the proposed GeV scale accelerator facilities will cover next decade. In this presentation, main goals and road map of Turkish Accelerator Center will be explained.

  The Response Surface Methodology (RSM), is used to study the optimization process of magnet AC in the booster for Taiwan Light Source (TLS) in National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC). A study model was constructed based on the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) theory. The theoretical model and optimization procedure were both implemented to evaluate the model. The details of the study will be reported in this paper.

  The Target System and Pion Decay Channel for a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory utilizes a string of solenoid magnet to capture and transport the low-energy pions whose decay provides the desired muon beams. The magnetic field strength at the target is 15-20 T, "tapering" down to 1.5-3 T in the Decay Channel. The superconducting coils which produce these fields must have substantial inner radius to accommodate internal shielding against radiation damage by secondary particles. A significant fraction of the primary beam energy is transported into the Decay Channel via protons, and the Decay Channel includes a magnetic chicane to provide a beam dump for these. The design of the various coils in this scenario is reported.

  Most of the energy of the primary proton beam of Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory would be deposited in the superconducting coils that provide a solenoid-magnet transport channel for secondary particles, unless those coils are protected by massive internal shielding. Studies are reported of energy deposition in such shielding, with the goal of permitting 10 years operational life at 4-MW beam power. The graphite target should be able to withstand the "thermal shock" induced by the pulsed beam; further study is needed to confirm this.

  The first phase of a Muon Collider/Neutrino Factory program may use a 6.75-GeV proton driver with beam power of only 1 MW. At this lower power it is favorable to use a graphite target (replaced quarterly) with beam and target tilted slightly to the axis of the 15-20 T pion-capture solenoid around the target. The low-energy proton beam is significantly deflected by the magnetic field, requiring careful optimization, reported here, of the beam/target configuration.
