A platform for accelerator online beam simulation has been established for Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). This modeling platform supports multiple simulation codes for different sections of the complex machine which cannot be properly modeled with a single online simulation tool. Model data for the platform is stored in a relational database which is designed to accommodate most simulation data. The stored data is accessible with physics intuitive data API (Application Programming Interface). Presently, the platform is supporting Open XAL, MAD-X and IMPACT simulation codes. In addition to the model data storage and access, tools such as data comparison and simple graphing capability are also included in the platform.

FRIB driver linac will deliver all heavy ion beams up to uranium with energy above 200 MeV/u, and maximum beam power on target 400 kW for nuclear physics research. Phase and amplitude tuning of the FRIB superconducting cavities – totally about 330 of them, are important to the linac beam commissioning at low power and normal operation at high power. Because relatively low beam energy and high acceleration gradient, beam velocity changes significantly in the cavity RF gaps and the beam bunch cannot preserve perfectly in the further downstream beam diagnostics systems, beam longitudinal tuning algorithms are studied for different FRIB cavities and at different beam energy, which include the acceleration cavities as well as the re-buncher cavities.

FRIB driver linac will deliver all heavy ion beams up to uranium with energy above 200 MeV/u, and maximum beam power on target 400 kW for nuclear physics research. Strong horizontal-vertical beam coupling exists in the FRIB linac since superconducting solenoids are applied to focus multi charge state beams. Further, the FRIB low beta SRF cavities have raised quadrupole field components. The combined effects make beam transverse matching challenging. In this paper, we study transverse matching of horizontal-vertical coupled beams based on beam profile measurements with multiple wire scanners. There are multiple solutions for the initial linac beams with coupling, and errors of the beam diagnostics and magnet power supplies introduce further complication. Nonetheless, simulation studies show that satisfactory transverse matching can be achieved with proper linac beam tuning.

This paper reports the control room experience, lessons learned, and quick deployment approach for the Open XAL application environment. Open XAL is a java-based framework for building high-level accelerator applications, it is a major revision of the XAL framework which was developed at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS). Open XAL is site neutral and may be deployed at multiple accelerator facilities. Currently, Open XAL is installed at SNS and at the Re-Accelerator facility of Michigan State University. At SNS we are in the final process of replacing the old XAL environment with Open XAL; we describe the upgrade process and our accelerator operations experience using Open XAL. At Michigan State, Open XAL has been tested during a cryomodule commissioning and result will be shown.

Open XAL is an accelerator physics software platform developed in collaboration among several facilities around the world. The Open XAL collaboration was formed in 2010 to port, improve and extend the successful XAL platform used at the Spallation Neutron Source for use in the broader accelerator community and to establish it as the standard platform for accelerator physics software. The site-independent core is complete, active applications have been ported, and now we are in the process of verification and transitioning to using Open XAL in production. This paper will present the current status and a roadmap for this project.

THPF136 Beam Dynamics Optimization of FRIB Folding Segment 1 with Single-type Re-buncher Cryomodule 4042

FRIB is using a charge stripper in folding segment 1 to increase the number of charge states of particles to enhance the acceleration efficiency. To control possible emittance growth after the charge stripper, the 3-dimensional on-stripper beam size should be as small as possible. The original 2-cavity-HWR (HWR stands for half wave resonator) rebuncher cryomodule is responsible for the longitudinal focusing before stripper. In order to accept and transport the beam downstream to linac segment 2, another kind of 3-cavity-QWR (QWR stands for quarter wave resonator) rebuncher cryomodule is baselined after the stripper. However, two kinds of cryomodules would increase the cost in design, therefore would be quite inefficient. In this paper, the FRIB lattice with only single-type 4-cavity-QWR rebuncher cryomodule in folding segment 1 is discussed. Positions of lattice elements are adjusted to accommodate the new type of cryomodule. Beam dynamics is optimized to meet the on-stripper beam requirement. The lattice is then adjusted and rematches.

THPF137 Beam Dynamics Effects of High Order Multipoles in Non-Axisymmetric Superconducting RF Cavities 4045

Non-axisymmetric superconducting RF cavities have been widely used in accelerator facilities. Because of the geometry, electric and magnetic multipole components, including steering terms, quadrupole terms, and higher order terms, would arise and have potential effects on beam dynamics. In this paper, we start with a simple linac periodic structure to study the effects of higher order terms. The action is defined as a figure of merit to quantify the effects. After that, we move to a more realistic situation of FRIB linac segment 1 (LS1). Multipole terms of quarter wave resonators (QWRs) are firstly calculated using multipole expansion scheme. Then, the scheme is tested using the FRIB linac lattice with QWRs, and the effects of higher order terms on FRIB LS1 are estimated.

The FRIB driver linac is a front runner for the future high power hadron linacs, making a full use of CW, superconducting acceleration from very low β. Accelerator Driven Nuclear Waste Transmutation System (ADS), International Fusion Material Irradiation Facility (IFMIF), Project-X type proton accelerators for high energy physics and others may utilize the technologies developed for the design, construction, commissioning and power ramp up of the FRIB linac. Although each technology has been already well developed individually (except for charge stripper), their integration is another challenge. In addition, extremely high Bragg peak of uranium beams (several thousand times as high as that of proton beams) gives rise to one of the biggest challenges in many aspects. This report summarizes these challenges and their mitigations, emphasizing the commonly overlooked features.
