We have performed three-dimensional simulations of beam dynamics for parallel-bar transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM) type RF separators: normal- and superconducting. The compact size of these cavities as compared to conventional TM110 type structures is more attractive particularly at low frequency. Highly concentrated electromagnetic fields between the parallel bars provide strong electrical stability to the beam for any mechanical disturbance. An array of eight 2-cell normal conducting cavities or a one- or two-cell superconducting structure are enough to produce the required vertical displacement at the Lambertson magnet. Both the normal and superconducting structures show very small emittance dilution due to the vertical kick of the beam.

In this paper we report the effects on beam dynamics from two intrinsic multipole components of a quadrupole magnet – dodecapole and psedu-octupole, in a quadrupole doublet lattice. Weak resonances at transverse phase advances 60°; and 90°; per cell, which may contribute to halo formation and beam loss in a linac, are shown from multi-particle tracking simulations. Although the net effect of the psedu-octupole component alone is very small due to substantial cancellations within the same magnet, its existence may significantly enhance the weak resonances which are induced by the dodecapole component of quadrupole magnets. The combined contributions of these two magnetic field components may not be simply linear-scaled because of the extreme nonlinear nature.

Recently there was a situation at the APS when one sextupole power supply failed during top-up operation (all magnets at the APS have separate power supplies). The beam was not lost but the lifetime decreased significantly to the point where it was hard for the injectors to provide enough charge for top-up injections. Luckily, the power supply was able to reset quickly, and the operation was not compromised. One can anticipate similar failures in the future when it would not be possible to reset the power supply. In such a case, the APS would need to operate with lower lifetime until the next intervention period. Here we present an optimization of the sextupole distribution in the vicinity of the failed sextupole that allows us to partially recover the lifetime. A genetic optimization algorithm that involves simultaneous optimization of the dynamic and energy apertures was used*. Experimental tests are also presented.

An intermediate-energy x-ray (IEX) helical wiggler is planned for the APS storage ring. Because of its high field and rapid field roll-off, the disturbance to the beam dynamics is large and needs to be well understood before the installation. We present a new method of fitting the magnetic field to an analytical wiggler model, which simplifies the usual nonlinear fitting problem and guarantees the best fit. The fitting method was validated by comparison to an analytical method.

In this paper we present a multiobjective approach to the dynamic aperture (DA) optimization. Taking the NSLS- II lattice as an example, we have used both sextupoles and quadrupoles as tuning variables to optimize both on-momentum and off-momentum DA. The geometric and chromatic sextupoles are used for nonlinear properties while the tunes are independently varied by quadrupoles. The dispersion and emittance are fixed during tunes variation. The algorithms, procedures, performances and results of our optimization of DA will be discussed and they are found to be robust, general and easy to apply to similar problems.

Cornell University is planning to build an Energy Recovery Linac (ERL) hard x-ray lightsource operating at 5 GeV. Simulations of its approximately 3 km of electron beamline that incorporate a host of reasonable alignment and field errors, and their compensation by an orbit correction scheme, are presented. These simulations start with realistic particle distributions just after injection and track them through acceleration, the production of undulator radiation, deceleration (energy recovery), and finally transport to the beam stop. To this realistic model, single error sources are further added with increasing magnitudes in order to establish alignment and field tolerance estimates.

Nonlinear optics is a promising idea potentially opening the path towards achieving super high beam intensities in circular accelerators. Creation of a tune spread reaching 50% of the betatron tune would provide strong Landau damping and make the beam immune to instabilities. Recent theoretical work* have identified a possible way to implement stable nonlinear optics by incorporating nonlinear focusing elements into a specially designed machine lattice. In this report we propose the design of a test accelerator for a proof-of-principle experiment. We discuss possible studies at the machine, requirements on the optics stability and sensitivity to imperfections.

Charged-particle motion is studied in the self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a well-matched, intense charged-particle beam and an applied periodic solenoidal magnetic focusing field. The beam is assumed to be in a state of adiabatic thermal equilibrium. The phase space is analyzed and compared with that of the well-known Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV)-type beam equilibrium. It is found that the widths of nonlinear resonances in the adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium are narrower than those in the KV-type beam equilibrium. Numerical evidence is presented, indicating almost complete elimination of chaotic particle motion in the adiabatic thermal beam equilibrium.

Designing and simulating complex magnet systems needed for cooling channels in both neutrino factories and muon colliders requires innovative techniques to correct for both chromatic and spherical aberrations. Optimizing complex systems, such as helical magnets for example, is also difficult but essential. By using COSY INFINITY, a differential algebra based code, the transfer and aberration maps can be examined to discover what critical terms have the greatest influence on these aberrations.

A variety of masks were installed on the Paul Trap Simulator Experiment (PTSX) cesium ion source in order to perform experiments with modified transverse distribution functions. Masks were used to block injection of ions into the PTSX chamber, thereby creating injected transverse beam distributions that were either hollow, apertured and centered, apertured and off-center, or comprising five beamlets. Experiments were performed using either trapped plasmas or the single-pass, streaming, mode of PTSX. The transverse streaming current profiles clearly demonstrated centroid oscillations. Further analysis of these profiles also shows the presence of certain collective beam modes, such as azimuthally symmetric radial modes. When these plasmas are trapped for thousands of lattice periods, the plasma quickly relaxes to a state with an elevated effective transverse temperature and is subsequently stable. Both sinusoidal and periodic step function waveforms were used and the resulting difference in the measured transverse profiles will be discussed.

Crab crossing of colliding electron and ion beams is essential for accommodating the ultra high bunch repetition frequency in the conceptual design of MEIC – a high luminosity polarized electron-ion collider at Jefferson Lab. The scheme eliminates parasitic beam-beam interactions and avoids luminosity reduction by restoring head-on collisions at interaction points. In this paper, we report simulation studies of beam dynamics with crab cavities for MEIC design. The detailed study involves full 3-D simulations of particle tracking through the various configurations of crab cavities for evaluating the performance. To gain insight, beam and RF dominated fields with other parametric studies will be presented in the paper.

In this paper, we report the first study of beam related instabilities in lepton ring of the proposed electron-ion collider beyond the 12 GeV upgrade of CEBAF at Jefferson lab. The design parameters are consistent with PEP-II. Present studies reveal that coupled bunch and two stream instabilities are important issues and we need feedback system.
