A new AFE is being developed for the new LANSCE-R wire-scanner systems. The new AFE is implemented in a National Instruments cRIO module installed a BiRa 4U BiRIO cRIO chassis specifically designed to accommodate the cRIO crate and all the wire-scanner interface, control and motor-drive electronics. A single AFE module provides interface to both X and Y wire sensors using true DC coupled transimpedance amplifiers providing collection of the wire charge signals, real-time wire integrity verification using the normal data-acquisition system, and wire bias of 0V to ±50V. The AFE system is designed to accommodate comparatively long macropulses (>1ms) with high PRF (>120Hz) without the need to provide timing signals. The basic AFE bandwidth is flat from true DC to 50kHz with a true first-order pole at 50kHz. Numeric integration in the cRIO FPGA provides real-time pulse-to-pulse numeric integration of the AFE signal to compute the total charge collected in each macropulse. This method of charge collection eliminates the need to provide synchronization signals to the wire-scanner AFE while providing the capability to accurately record the charge from long macropulses at high PRF.
 
 
TUP008 Update on Multipactor in Coaxial Waveguides using CST Particle Studio multipactoring, simulation, electron, plasma 820

  CST Particle Studio combines electromagnetic field simulation, multiparticle tracking, adequate post-processing and advanced probabilistic emission model, which is the most important new capability in multipactor simulation. The emission model includes in simulation the stochastic properties of emission and adds primary electron elastic and inelastic reflection from the surfaces. The simulation of multipactor in coaxial waveguides have been performed to study the effects of the innovations on the multipactor threshold and the range over which multipactor can occur. The results compared with available previous experiments and simualtions as well as the technique of MP simulation with CST PS are presented and discussed.

  The superconducting parallel-bar cavity is a deflecting/crabbing cavity with attractive properties, compared to other conventional designs, that is being considered for a number of applications. Multipacting can be a limiting factor to the performance of in any superconducting structure. In the parallel-bar cavity the main contribution to the deflection is due to the transverse deflecting voltage, between the parallel bars, making the design potentially prone to multipacting. This paper presents the results of analytical calculations and numerical simulations of multipacting in the parallel-bar cavity with resonant voltage, impact energies and corresponding particle trajectories.

In addition to previous developments on parallel beam dynamics software packages, our efforts have been extended to electromagnetic simulations. These efforts include developing new software packages solving the Maxwell equations in 2D and 3D. Scalable algorithms have been used for use of ALCF supercomputers. These new solvers are based on high order numerical methods. Comparative studies of structured and unstructured grids, continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods will be discussed. The effects of bases will also be presented. Efficiency and challenges of new software packages will be presented. Some benchmarking and simulation results will be shown.

Using the electromagnetic simulation code ECHO, we have found* a simple phenomenological formula that accurately describes the loss factor for short bunches traversing an axisymmetric tapered collimator. In this paper, we consider tapered collimators with elliptical cross-section and use the GdfidL code to calculate the loss factor dependence on the geometric parameters for short bunches. The results for both axisymmetric and elliptical collimators are discussed.

  The booster synchrotron for NSLS-II will include a 7-cell PETRA cavity, which was manufactured for the PETRA-II project at DESY. The cavity fundamental frequency operates at 500 MHz. In order to verify the impedances of the fundamental and higher-order modes (HOM) which were calculated by computer code, we measured the magnitude of the electromagnetic field of the fundamental acceleration mode and HOM’s, using the bead-pull method. To keep the cavity body temperature constant, we used a chiller system to supply cooling water at 20 degrees C. The bead-pull measurement was automated with a computer. We encountered some issues during the measurement process due to the difficulty in measuring the electromagnetic field magnitude in a multi-cell cavity as compared to a single-cell cavity. We describe the apparatus for the field measurement and the obtained results.
