Semiconductor thyristors have long been used as a replacement for thyratrons in low power or long pulse RF systems. To date, however, such thyristor assemblies have not demonstrated the reliability needed for installation in short pulse, high peak power RF stations used with many pulsed electron accelerators. The fast rising current in a thyristor tends to be carried in a small region, rather than across the whole device, and this localized current concentration can cause a short circuit failure. An alternate solid-state device, the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), can readily operate at the speed needed for the accelerator, but commercial IGBTs cannot handle the voltage and current required. It is, however, possible to assemble these devices in arrays to reach the required performance levels without sacrificing their inherent speed. Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) has patented and refined the technology required to build these arrays of series-parallel connected switches. DTI is currently developing an affordable, reliable, form-fit-function replacement for the klystron modulator thyratrons at SLAC capable of pulsing at 360 kV, 420 A, 6 μs, and 120 Hz.

MOPMR022 Beam-based Alignment of CLIC Accelerating Structures Utilizing Their Octupole Component octupole, emittance, collider, linac 280
 
  • J. Ögren, V.G. Ziemann

  Alignment of the accelerating structures is essential for emittance preservation in long linear accelerators such as the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC). The prototype structures for CLIC have four radial waveguides connected to each cell for damping wakefields and this four-fold symmetry is responsible for an octupole component of the radio-frequency fields, phase-shifted 90 degrees with respect to the accelerating mode. The octupole field causes a nonlinear dependence of the transverse beam deflection with respect to the position within the accelerating structure. By transversely moving the beam with two upstream steering magnets, and observing the deflection with beam position monitors or screens, the electromagnetic center of the structure can be found. We discuss the applicability of this method for aligning the beam in the accelerating structures.

Plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) provides GeV/m-scale accelerating fields, ideal for applications such as a future linear collider. However, strong focusing fields imply that a transversely offset beam with an energy spread will experience emittance growth from the energy dependent betatron oscillation. We develop an analytic model for estimating tolerances from this effect, as well as an effective simplified simulation tool in Elegant. Estimations for a proposed 1 TeV PWFA linear collider scheme indicate tight tolerances of order 40 nm and 1 μrad in position and angle respectively.

  To maintain stable electron beam parameters (Energy 10GeV, Charge 200pC, Bunch Length 60fs, Emittance X/Y 0.481um/0.256um), PAL-XFEL equipment should keep the alignment of accelerator (±100um) and undulator (±50um) constant. To ensure the precise measurement and alignment of PAL-XFEL, GPS-based surface geodetic network and the installation of a tunnel measurement network inside buildings was prepared and the fiducialization of major equipment was completed. After PAL-XFEL equipment is aligned, if the ground and buildings go through vertical changes during operation, tilt and misalignment of equipments (correct magnet, BPM, accelerator) will cause errors in the electron beam trajectory, which will lead to changes in the beam parameter. Hydrostatic Levelling System (HLS) was installed to measure vertical changes in buildings and the ground (sinking and uplifting) continuously and systematically, and Wire Position System (WPS) installed to measure changes in Girder. This paper introduces the operation principle, design concept, installation status, and operation status of WPS.

  A nanometer beam size in the interaction point (IP) is required in case of future linear colliders for achieving the desired rate of particle collisions. KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2), a scaled down implementation of the beam delivery system (BDS), serves for investigating the limits of electron beam focusing at the interaction point. The goal of the ultra-low beta∗ study is to lower the IP vertical beam size by lowering the betay∗ value while keeping the betax∗ value unchanged. Good control over the beam optics is therefore required. The first experience with low beta∗ optics revealed a mismatch between the optics designed in the model with respect to the beam parameters observed in the experiment. Additionally, existing methods of beam parameters characterization at the IP were biased with high uncertainties making it difficult to set the desired optics. In this paper we report on the new method introduced in ATF2 for IP beam parameters characterization which gives a good control over the applied optics and makes the ultra-low beta∗ study possible to conduct. It can be also used for verifying the performance of some of the existing beam instrumentation devices.

  Tuning the Final-Focus System of future linear colliders is one of the open challenges the linear collider community is undertaking. Future colliders like ILC and CLIC will feature complex lattice design to focus the beams to nanometer level at the Interaction Point. Standard Beam-Based Alignment (BBA) techniques have proven to hardly meet the requirements in terms of acceptable emittance growth, in both machines. A set of new techniques, respectively called: nonlinear Dispersion-Free Steering (DFS), DFS-knobs scan, and hybrid DFS-knobs with beamsize measurements, have been put in place to cope with the challenge. This paper will reveal the key ideas behind the new techniques, and compare their effectiveness w.r.t. the conventional BBA tuning procedures.

  Beam tuning in the beam delivery system (BDS) is one of the major challenges for the future linear colliders. In those colliders, due to fast detuning of the final focus optics both beamlines will need to be tuned simultaneously. An initial two-beam tuning study for the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) BDS had been performed, but was not fully satisfactory. In this paper a more extensive study is presented, as well as several improvements to the tuning algorithm. A comparative study between two competing CLIC final focus systems (FFS), the traditional and the compact FFS, will be discussed.

THPOR026 Change Management at the International Linear Collider ILC detector, collider, site, controls 3835

  The Linear Collider Collaboration has introduced a change management process to ensure that changes to the ILC baseline design are properly reviewed and implemented in an orderly fashion. A change management board oversees the process, establishes the review procedure based on the overall impact of the proposed change, decides, and monitors the implementation. This change management process has become an important factor that gives structure and direction to the ongoing design activities around the world. For example, one CR called for a harmonisation of the final focus quadrupole position between the two detector concepts; extensive studies from both experiments were carried out as part of the review process and took almost a year. Another CR by the experiments asked for a vertical shaft access to the interaction hall that required a relocation of the whole accelerator. The change process made sure that the stakeholders were part of the review and decision process from the beginning and contributed to a design change acceptable to all parties involved. The poster will present the change management process and give examples of change requests that have already been processed.

  A 300Hz conventional, e- driven positron source for the ILC is proposed by an international team. In this paper, we focus on numerical analysis of dynamic stresses in the Tungsten target. These are driven by the pulsed e-beam, which causes rapid heating and subsequent, dynamic loads in the target which can lead to fracture and failure of it. A program of ANSYS workbench is used in the study. The dynamic stresses from both of extremely short (10 ns) and nominal (1μs) thermal pulses are systematically studied in various target related parts such as small spheres, cylinders. Particular attention has also been paid to the buckling of foils.

  A low-latency, sub-micron resolution stripline beam position monitoring (BPM) system has been developed and tested with beam at the KEK Accelerator Test Facility (ATF2), where it has been used to drive a beam stabilisation system. The fast analogue front-end signal processor is based on a single-stage radio-frequency down-mixer, with a measured latency of 16 ns and a demonstrated single-pass beam position resolution of below 300 nm using a beam with a bunch charge of approximately 1 nC. The BPM position data are digitised on a digital feedback board which is used to drive a pair of kickers local to the BPMs and nominally orthogonal in phase in closed-loop feedback mode, thus achieving both beam position and angle stabilisation. We report the reduction in jitter as measured at a witness stripline BPM located 30 metres downstream of the feedback system and its propagation to the ATF interaction point.
