MOP276	Applying Cascaded Parameter Scan to Study Top-off Safety in NSLS-II Storage Ring	627

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 In this paper we introduce a new algorithm, the cascaded parameter scan method, to efficiently carry out the scan over magnet parameters in the safety analysis for the NSLS-II top-off injection. In top-off safety analysis, one must track particles populating phase space through a beamline containing magnets and apertures and clearly demonstrate that for all possible magnet settings and errors, all particles are lost on scrapers within the properly shielded region. In the usual approach, the number of tracking runs increases exponentially with the number of magnet settings. In the cascaded parameter scan method, the number of tracking runs only increases linearly. This reduction of exponential to linear dependence on the number of setpoints, greatly reduces the required computation time and allows one to more densely populate phase space and to increase the number of setpoints scanned for each magnet. An example of applying this approach to analyze an NSLS-II beamline, the damping wiggler beamline, is also given.

	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The NSLS-II operational parameters place very stringent requirements on the injection system. Among these are the charge per bunch train at low emittance that is required from the linac along with the uniformity of the charge per bunch along the train. The NSLS-II linac is a 200 MeV linac produced by RI Research Instruments GmbH. Part of the strategy for understanding to operation of the injectors is to test the front end of the linac prior to its installation in the facility. The linac front end consists of a 90 keV electron gun, 500 MHz subharmonic prebuncher, focusing solenoids and a suite of diagnostics. The diagnostics in the front end need to be supplemented with an additional suite of diagnostics to fully characterize the beam. In this paper we discuss the design of a test stand to measure the various properties of the beam generated from this section. In particular, the test stand will measure the charge, transverse emittance, energy, energy spread, and bunching performance of the linac front end under all operating conditions of the front end.

WEP283	Simulations of Transverse Stacking in the NSLS-II Booster	2014
	R.P. Fliller, T.V. Shaftan BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Funding: This manuscript has been authored by Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-98CH10886 with the U.S. Department of Energy. The NSLS-II injection system consists of a 200 MeV linac and a 3 GeV booster. The linac needs to deliver 15 nC in 80 - 150 bunches to the booster every minute to achieve current stability goals in the storage ring. This is a very stringent requirement that has not been demonstrated at an operating light source. We have developed a scheme to transversely stack two bunch trains in the NSLS-II booster in order to alleviate the charge requirements on the linac. This scheme has been outlined previously. In this paper we show particle tracking simulations of the tracking scheme. We show that the booster lattice has sufficient orbit correction and dynamic aperture at injection to maintain the charge and emittance of the first beam while it circulates waiting for the next train to arrive. We also show simulations of the booster ramp with a stacked beam for a variety of lattice errors and injected beam parameters. In all cases the performance of the proposed stacking method is sufficient to reduce the required charge from the linac. For this reason the injection system of the NSLS-II booster is being designed to include this feature.

THP131	Injection Straight Pulsed Magnet Error Tolerance Study for Top-off Injection	2366

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 NSLS II is designed to work in top-off injection mode. The goal is to minimize the disturbance of the injection transient on the users. The injection straight includes a septum and four fast kicker magnets. The pulsed magnet errors will excite a betatron oscillation. This paper gives the formulas of each error contribution to the oscillation amplitude at various source points in the ring. These are compared with simulation results. Based on the simple formulas, we can specify the error tolerances on the pulsed magnets and scale it to similar machines.

THP132	Beam Diagnostics using BPM Signals from Injected and Stored Beams in a Storage Ring	2369
	G.M. Wang, W.X. Cheng, R.P. Fliller, R. Heese, T.V. Shaftan, O. Singh, F.J. Willeke BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 Many modern light sources are operating in top-off injection mode or are being upgraded to top-off injection mode. For top-off injection mode, the storage ring always has the stored beam and injected beam. So the BPM data is the mixture of both beam positions and the injected beam position cannot be measured directly. We propose to use a BPM with special electronics in NSLS II storage ring to retrieve the injected beam trajectory with the SVD method. The BPM has the capability to measure bunch-by-bunch beam position. We also need another system to measure the bunch-by-bunch beam current. The injected beam trajectory can be measured and monitored all the time without dumping the stored beam. We can adjust and optimize the injected beam trajectory to maximize the injection efficiency. We can also measure the storage ring acceptance by mapping the injected beam trajectory.

THP133	Modulation of Low Energy Beam to Generate Predefined Bunch Trains for the NSLS-II Top-off Injection	2372
	G.M. Wang, W.X. Cheng, R.P. Fliller, R. Heese, J. Rose, T.V. Shaftan BNL, Upton, Long Island, New York, USA
	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 The NSLS II linac will produce a bunch train, 80-150 bunches long with 2 ns bunch spacing. Having the ability to tailor the bunch train can lead to the smaller bunch to bunch charge variation in the storage ring. A stripline is integrated into the linac baseline to achieve this tailoring. The stripline must have a fast field rise and fall time to tailor each bunch. The beam dynamics is minimally affected by including the extra space for the stripline. This paper discusses the linac beam dynamics with stripline, and the optimal design of the stripline.

THP134	Lifetime Measurement with Pseudo Moveable Septum in NSLS X-ray Ring	2375

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) is a state of the art 3 GeV third generation light source currently under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory and starts to commission in 2014. The beam injection works with two septa and four fast kicker magnets in an injection section. To improve the injection stability and reproducibility, we plan to implement a slow local bump on top of the fast bump so that the fast kicker strength is reduced. This bump works as a pseudo movable septum. We can also use this ‘movable’ septum to measure the storage ring beam partial lifetime resulting from the septum edge and possibly increasing the lifetime by moving the stored beam orbit away from the edge. We demonstrate the feasibility of this idea, by implementing DC bump in NSLS X-ray ring. We report the results of beam lifetime measurements as a function of the amplitude of this bumped orbit relative to the septum and the idea of a slow bump that could reduce the fast bump magnet strengths.

THP135	Implementation of a DC Bump at the Storage Ring Injection Straight Section	2378

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. DOE, Contract No.DE-AC02-98CH10886 The NSLS II beam injection works with two septa and four fast kicker magnets. The kicker power supplies each produce a two revolution periods pulsed field, 5.2μs half sine waveform, using ~5kV drive voltage. The corresponding close orbit bump amplitude is ~15mm. It is desired that the bump they produce is transparent to the users for top-off injection. However, high voltage and short pulse power supplies have challenges to maintain pulse-to-pulse stability and magnet-to-magnet reproducibility. To minimize these issues, we propose to implement a DC local bump on top of the fast bump to reduce the fast kicker strength by a factor of 2/3. This bump uses two ring corrector magnets plus one additional magnet at the septum to create a bump. Additionally, these magnets could provide a DC bump, which would simulate the effects of a movable septum on the store beam lifetime. This paper presents the detail design of this DC injection bump and related beam dynamics.

Since the installation of the laser slicing system into the storage ring will break the symmetry of the lattice, we demonstrate it is possible to recover the dynamical aperture to the original design goal of the ring.

The linac to booster transfer line can measure the linac emittance with a three screens measurement or a quadrupole scan. Energy and energy spread are measured in a dispersive section. Total charge and charge uniformity are measured with wall current monitors in the linac and transformers in the transfer line. We show that the performance of the transfer line will be sufficient to ensure the linac meets its specifications and provides a means of trouble shooting and studying the linac in future operation.

The National Synchrotron Light Source II is a third generation light source under construction at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The project includes a highly optimized 3 GeV electron storage ring, linac pre-injector and full-energy booster-synchrotron. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics builds booster for NSLS-II. The booster should accelerate the electron beam continuously and reliably from minimal 170 MeV injection energy to maximal energy of 3.15 GeV and average beam current of 20 mA. The booster shall be capable of multi-bunch and single bunch operation. This paper summarizes the status of NSLS-II booster and the main designed parameters.

An experiment is under way at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at BNL to demonstrate inverse Compton scattering in a pulse-train regime. A photoinjector generated electron beam pulse train is scattered by a recirculating laser pulse in a novel resonant configuration termed Recirculation Injection by Nonlinear Gating (RING). The goal of the experiment is to demonstrate strong enhancement of the ICS photon flux through laser recirculation. The project status is presented, and the long-term outlook is discussed with emphasis on the medical and security applications.
